Crown Coins vs Modo

The short version

Only 0.2 separates them on our Editor Rating (Modo 4.5, Crown Coins 4.3), close enough that specific terms matter more. Go by the published terms and Crown Coins has the edge for the wider map (prize play in 36 jurisdictions against 34) and 18- to 20-year-olds, since Modo requires 21+. We found no verified fact where Modo does better, though a sign-up bonus isn’t on record for it.

Prize play is open in 36 jurisdictions at Crown Coins and 34 at Modo, out of 51 (the states plus DC).

Only Crown Coins is open in Arizona and West Virginia.

Crown Coins and Modo both still list Utah as open, and Crown Coins’ also shows California, Delaware, Indiana and New York; we treat them as unavailable because of a state ban or regulator action.

Turning SC into prizes

Both set the cash minimum at 50 SC. Modo also offers gift cards from 20 SC. That makes a gift card the quicker first prize at Modo.
