Runestake uses two separate balances: Fun Cash and Sweeps Cash. Understanding the difference is key to knowing how the platform works.
Fun Cash
What it is: Virtual currency you purchase directly with RuneScape Gold, cryptocurrency, or gift cards.
What it’s for: Used to play games and earn tokens.
Redeemable? No — Fun Cash is for entertainment only and cannot be redeemed for prizes.
Sweeps Cash
What it is: Bonus currency that gives you the chance to redeem prizes.
How you get it:
Free giveaways
Mail-in/write-in entry requests
Bundled as a bonus with some Fun Cash purchases
Redeemable? Yes — Sweeps Cash can be redeemed for prizes.
Why they’re separate
Keeping balances separate makes it clear which currency is for play only (Fun Cash) and which is for prizes (Sweeps Cash). This structure ensures fairness and compliance with sweepstakes rules.
