Cider Casino review: 20,000 GC + 0.3 SC free on sign-up, 81,000 GC + 4.5 SC for $2.99, 100 SC minimum redemption, up to 30 days to pay. Read first.
By Luka Damjanac, founder and editor · Last updated · Facts verified
Cider Casino is a 2025 sweepstakes casino with a 500-game slot lobby, mobile apps on iOS and Android, and a cheap entry offer of 81,000 Gold Coins plus 4.5 Sweeps Coins for $2.99. Its overall Trustpilot score is still a solid 4.2/5. But the recent picture is worse than that number suggests. Since mid-August 2026, a growing share of reviews describe redemptions that have not been paid and accounts frozen after wins. Cider's own rules allow up to 30 days to process a prize, its company names differ between documents, and its state list still includes California. Until the payout complaints settle down, keep your balance small, verify early, and do not buy more coins than you are happy to lose.

Cider Casino operates as a registered sweepstakes casino with published terms, but there are open questions.
None of this proves Cider will not pay. It does mean the risk is higher than at older sites with a long payout record.
There is no promo code required. Keep the free offer and the purchase offer separate:
Some pages advertise much larger Cider “welcome bonuses”. Those figures are purchase packages, not free coins.
The standard playthrough is 1x, but the rules let Cider require up to 20x on some promotional SC. Check the terms of any promotion before you play through it. With 0.3 SC at sign-up, reaching the 100 SC minimum without buying takes a long time.
Log in later through cidercasino.com or the app with the same email and password.
Cider lists more than 500 games.
There is no live dealer section. See our live dealer sweepstakes casinos list if you want live tables.
Buying Gold Coins is optional. The entry package is $2.99.
Redeeming Sweeps Coins:
A 30-day window is long. Plan for it before you build a balance you need back quickly.
Use the Sweeps Coins calculator to check what a balance is worth.
Trustpilot: 4.2/5 from 2,613 reviews as of October 5, 2026. 70% are five stars and 12% are one star.
How to read this: the overall score is built mostly on earlier reviews. The recent trend is what matters if you are about to sign up. Verify first, start with a small redemption, and stop buying coins if a request stalls.
Not available (Cider’s sweepstakes rules, July 20, 2026): Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Washington. Ontario and Quebec are also excluded.
California has banned sweepstakes casinos, but the operator’s list had not yet removed California as of October 5, 2026. Treat it as unavailable. Oklahoma has been off limits since SB 1589 took effect on November 1, 2026.
The older terms of service (July 6, 2026) give a shorter list that leaves out New York and Tennessee. Both states have bans, so follow the longer list. Check the ban tracker for current status.
Cider does not name any sister brands, and no other casino is publicly linked to Mystic Mirror Studio Limited or Aevorix Play Inc. For sites with similar slots and fish games and a longer payout record, see the similar casinos below.
