At a casino sweepstakes site, you can't win real money. Instead, players can play with Sweeps Coins (or another premium currency) and redeem those winnings for cash prizes or gift cards. Online casinos allow players to deposit real money and wager it.

You should never have to pay handling charges, service fees, or any other kind of charges up front to receive a win - those are sure signs of sweepstakes scams.
