AceBet vs YAY Casino

The short version

YAY Casino edges AceBet 4.5 to 4.4 on our Editor Rating, a gap too small to settle much by itself. AceBet is the better fit for free entry by post (7.5 SC a request, 5 at YAY Casino) and a bigger game library (2,000+ games claimed versus 1,300+). For more free Sweeps Coins at registration (12 against 1), YAY Casino makes more sense.

Where you can play for prizes

Their maps match: both are open for prize play in the same 36 jurisdictions, counting DC.

Delaware, Indiana, Maine and Utah still appear as open on AceBet’s and YAY Casino’s own lists, and YAY Casino’s also shows Connecticut, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey and Tennessee, though sweepstakes casinos are restricted there. We follow the law, not the list.

Redeeming prizes

AceBet and YAY Casino share a 50 SC cash minimum.

At either site you can redeem by ACH bank transfer and crypto. Only AceBet offers debit card. YAY Casino adds Visa virtual card.

For AceBet, the stated timing is: up to 10 business days to a nominated bank account per the Rules; FAQ: crypto 10–15 minutes on-chain, fiat 1–3 business days. On timing, YAY Casino’s rules say: review typically 24–72 hours (up to 7 days); then bank transfer 1–5 business days, prepaid/virtual card instant by email.

Sweeps Coins at AceBet must be played 3x (its rules allow up to 20x) before redemption. We haven’t verified a playthrough rule for YAY Casino. AceBet puts 1 SC at $1 of prize value.

Free Sweeps Coins

Sign up at YAY Casino and you get 12 SC, 120,000 Gold Coins and 20 free spins without buying anything; AceBet gives 1 SC and 20 free spins.

By post, AceBet credits 7.5 SC per request. To enter, handwrite a request on a 4x6 card and mail it in. YAY Casino takes mail-in requests at 5 SC each. You obtain a unique request code, write out a request and post it. Five requests would bring 37.5 SC at AceBet and 25 SC at YAY Casino.

Buying Gold Coins

AceBet takes Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay, ACH bank transfer and crypto for Gold Coin purchases; YAY Casino takes credit or debit card and crypto. What sets them apart is Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay and ACH bank transfer only at AceBet and credit or debit card only at YAY Casino. Both support crypto.

Support and games

AceBet offers email support. You can reach YAY Casino by email. Stated hours: 24/7. AceBet claims 2,000+ games to YAY Casino’s 1,300+.

How the ratings compare

The widest gap is purchase options, where AceBet scores 5.0 to YAY Casino’s 3.5 (AceBet: 5 purchase methods plus crypto; YAY Casino: 2 purchase methods plus crypto).

Who operates each site

YAY Casino’s operator is Social Gaming LLC (United States); AceBet’s is Trey Mark Services Limited (Cyprus), so the two aren’t related.
