RealPrize vs Zunado

The short version

On our Editor Rating they sit close together: 4.1 for RealPrize, 3.9 for Zunado. Go by the published terms and Zunado has the edge for free entry by post (2 SC a request, 1 at RealPrize) and a bigger game library (1,300+ games claimed versus 500+). There’s no term on record where RealPrize does better.

Where you can play

RealPrize offers prize play in 36 of 51 jurisdictions and Zunado in 35. Closed means excluded by the operator or banned by the state, and we apply both tests.

West Virginia: RealPrize yes, Zunado no.

Neither accepts prize play in 15 jurisdictions, including Michigan, New Jersey and Utah.

Each operator’s list still shows Utah as open, and RealPrize’s also shows California, Delaware, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, New Jersey and Tennessee. State law or regulator action restricts sweepstakes casinos there, so we count them as closed.

Redemption rules

Both set the cash minimum at 100 SC. Gift-card prizes at RealPrize start at 45 SC. At RealPrize, a gift card is the lower bar to a prize.

RealPrize pays by cash and gift cards. Zunado’s options are ACH bank transfer.

Playthrough is 1x at both before Sweeps Coins count toward a redemption. RealPrize says it may require more. Zunado’s rules allow it to require up to 20x.

Playing without buying

Zunado’s sign-up offer: 500 free Gold Coins + one free Galaxy Wheel spin (up to 10,000 GC + 10 SC) on sign-up.

RealPrize’s free mail-in entry pays 1 SC per request. To enter, handwrite a request on a 4x6 card and mail it in an envelope. By post, Zunado credits 2 SC per request. To enter, obtain a unique request code, write out a request card and post it. Five requests would bring 5 SC at RealPrize and 10 SC at Zunado.
