Yay Casino

 Review

Yay Casino stands out from other sweepstakes casinos by offering these benefits:

• Number of Games: 1,300+

• Promos for Existing Players: Changes Weekly

• Best Refer-a-Friend Program in Sweeps

• Extensive VIP Program

• Best Daily Login Bonus: 1 Free Sweeps Coin Daily

For all these reasons, Yay Casino received a 9.3 comparison score.

Yay Casino offers a great player experience. The website is stylish and easy to navigate, with games organized by category, including jackpot slots, Megaways, hold-and-win, and low minimum plays.

Overall, Yay Casino offers seamless navigation and games that load extremely quickly, so I gave it a 9.6 experience score.

Playing on Desktop

I was able to find all of my account settings, promotions, unique friend referral code, redemptions, game history, transaction history, and playtime reminders in the main menu.

Games are organized by slot category, allowing me to easily sort through the more than 1,300 slot titles.

I tested loading 10 games, and each game loaded in under seven seconds.

Toggling between Gold Coins Mode and Sweepstakes Mode was also easy, as there’s a slider at the top of every page.

Playing on Mobile

There is no Yay Casino dedicated mobile app; however, there is an HTML-5 optimized mobile site.

The mobile site mirrors the desktop site pretty accurately, with a few tweaks to make gameplay and navigation on a smaller screen seamless.

I was able to play games, purchase Gold Coins, redeem Sweeps Coins for cash prizes, refer friends, and view promotions, all from the mobile site.

I could also set gameplay reminders and view my transaction history on my mobile device.

Is Yay Casino Legit?

Yes, Yay Casino is a legitimate social casino.

It’s owned by Social Gaming LLC, which is a registered business in Wilmington, DE, and operates in all U.S. states except for Idaho, Michigan, Nevada, New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Montana, New Jersey, and Washington.

Social Gaming LLC is a sister company of Blazesoft, which owns and operates Fortune Coins, Zula Casino, and Sportzino.

Customer Support

One area where Yay Casino could improve is its customer service options.

Sure, it covers its bases – you can get a hold of support by sending an email to [email protected] or submitting a ticket; there’s also a solid FAQ page for answers to the most common questions.

Yay is also on Facebook, Instagram, and X; however, you’re probably better off submitting a ticket or sending an email than you are reaching out on social media.

Yet, that’s pretty much it when it comes to customer support.

I’d love to see a live chat function added in the future or a phone number for at least payment-related inquiries.

Self-Exclusion & Player Safety

Yay Casino offers a detailed page of information about player safety (you can find the link to this page in the footer of any page on the website).

Responsible Social Gaming (RSG tools) offered by Yay Casino include the following:

• Player safety information

• Activity reminders

• Timeouts

• Self-exclusion (minimum 6 months)

• Account closure

Submit a ticket to request a timeout or self-exclusion. Send an email to [email protected] to close your account.

Self-set activity reminders by clicking the bell icon in the main menu.

How To Join Yay Casino

Signing up for Yay Casino was pretty easy; it only took a few minutes to fill out a few forms, verify my email address and mobile number, collect my no-deposit welcome bonus, and start playing!

Here are all the steps you’ll need to take to create a new player account at Yay Casino:

1. Click the “Claim Bonus” button.

2. Click “Sign Up”.

3. Enter your first and last name and your email address; choose a password.

4. Accept the terms and conditions and confirm you’re the legal age to play and live in a permitted state by checking the boxes and clicking “Sign Up”.

5. Confirm your email address.

6. Enter your phone number and click “Continue”.

7. Verify your phone number to get 30,000 GC & 3 SC.

8. Click “Continue” then “Start Playing”.

I also opted to complete KYC verification at this point, as I knew I would need to do this before I could redeem Sweepstakes Coins for prizes.

I’ll explain this in full detail in the “Redemptions” section of this review.

Yay Casino Welcome Offer

I was able to claim a great no-deposit bonus and a good first-purchase promo that are included in Yay Casino’s welcome offer.

Because Yay Casino offers the third-best no-deposit bonus and a good first-purchase promo, it received a 9.5 bonus score.

No Purchase Bonus

New players can claim a no-deposit bonus of up to 100,000 Gold Coins and 10 Free Sweeps Coins upon new account registration and completion of a few qualifying actions.

Here is how many Gold Coins and Free Sweeps Coins you’ll get for completing the following:

• Account registration: 20,000 GC + 2 FREE SC

• Email consent: 20,000 GC + 2 FREE SC

• Verify Mobile Number: 30,000 GC + 3 FREE SC

• SMS Consent: 20,000 GC + 2 FREE SC

• Facebook Connect: 10,000 GC

• Daily Bonus Login Bonus: 10,000 GC + 1 FREE SC

This no-deposit welcome bonus is only valid for new players. If you already have an account at Yay Casino, check out Fortune Coins, Zula Casino, and Sportzino, which all offer similar no-deposit welcome bonuses to new players.

No-Purchase Bonus Terms and Conditions

• Get 100,000 GC and 10 SC

• New players only

• Must complete qualifying actions

• No promo code is needed

First Purchase Bonus

I was also able to choose between two first-purchase promos at Yay Casino, including the following:

• 200,000 Gold Coins for $9.99, plus 20 Free Sweeps Coins

• 100,000 Gold Coins for $2.99, plus 10 Free Sweeps Coins

Obviously, the first offer is the better one, so I opted for the 200,000 Gold Coins for $9.99; however, both options are a good deal, so you’ll still get plenty of Gold Coins and bonus Free Sweeps Coins with either promo.

First-Purchase Bonus Terms and Conditions

• Get 200,000 GC for $9.99 + 20 Free SC

• Or, get 100,000 GC for $2.99 + 10 Free SC

• Can only choose 1 offer

• No promo code is needed

Promotions for Existing Players

Yay Casino offers a good selection of promotions for existing players, including a great daily login bonus, the best refer-a-friend bonus I’ve seen at any sweepstakes casino, weekly promotions, and an extensive VIP program.

For all of these reasons, Yay Casino received a 9.4 promotions score.

Daily Login Bonus

I was able to collect  10,000 Gold Coins and 1 Free Sweeps Coin each day I logged into my Yay Casino account and manually claimed them.

If you want to claim the daily login bonus, follow these steps:

To claim this bonus:

1. Log in to your Yay Casino account.

2. Click “Coin Store” in the upper right-hand corner of the lobby.

3. Look for the “Claim Free Rewards”.

4. Look for “Daily Bonus”

5. Click “Collect”.

You’ll get 10,000 Gold Coins and 1 Free Sweeps Coin added to your account each day you claim this bonus.

Refer-a-Friend Bonus

Yay Casino offers one of the best refer-a-friend bonuses in sweepstakes.

Share your unique referral link with friends to get rewarded when they sign up for a new player account and make a purchase.

Your unique referral link can be found in the main menu by selecting “Refer a Friend”.

Your referees will get a 15% bonus on their first Gold Coins purchases; you’ll get 20,000 Gold Coins, plus 2 Free Sweeps Coins for every friend who creates a new player account – even if your referee doesn’t make a purchase!

If your referee makes a purchase of Gold Coins marked with the red banner, you’ll get 50% of the base value (capped at $30).

Claim up to 10 of these bonuses per week!

Terms and Conditions

• Referee must use the unique referral link

• Signup promo good for first 10 friends

• Referee must make a qualifying red banner purchase to receive purchase referral bonus

• 10 purchase referral bonuses per week

• Referees must be 18+

• Referees must not have or previously have had a Yay Casino account

VIP Program

Yay Casino also offers a great VIP program.

For every 50,000 Gold Coins and 1 Sweepstakes Coin you play, you’ll get 1 VIP point.

Earn points to climb tiers and get better benefits.

VIP statuses update weekly.

The image below shows the benefits offered at each tier.

Social Competitions

Follow Yay Casino on Facebook and Instagram to participate in social media competitions!

Seasonal Events

Yay Casino offers at least one promotion for existing players at any given time (more often two promotions at once) on a rotating basis.

Past promotions have included Highest Total Wins on the qualifying slot game and the Weekly GC event, which awarded the top 10 players a share of 1 million Gold Coins and 100 Sweeps Coin Free Spins.

Banking Methods Breakdown

Another area where Yay Casino.com could improve is its cashier methods.

For purchases, you can choose between credit cards or debit cards; for Sweeps Coin redemptions, you can claim your cash prize by ACH bank transfer.

Obviously, there aren’t many cashier options available, and there is no way to get an instant redemption.

For all these reasons, Yay Casino received an 8.4 cashier score.

Purchases

You don’t need to pay to play at Yay Casino; however, you may want to take advantage of the first-purchase promo or refresh your Gold Coin balance.

For Gold Coin purchases, you can choose between using your credit card or debit card.

The table below shows how much Gold Coins cost and how many Free Sweeps Coins you’ll receive as a bonus with each Gold Coins purchase.

Purchase Terms & Conditions

• Minimum purchase amount is $4.99
• Home address must be verified before making a purchase

Redemptions

Once you’ve played Sweepstakes Coins once and won a minimum of 50 SC, you can redeem them for cash prizes with an online banking transfer.

This is a pretty low threshold for Sweeps Coin redemptions, which bumped Yay Casino’s cashier score by a point.

Cash redemptions could take between three and five business days to process and clear.

Redemption Terms & Conditions

• Minimum redemption is 50 SC

• KYC verification must be completed before redemption

• Redemption rate is 1 SC to $1 (USD)

• FL residents: Maximum redemption value on any single spin or play is 5,000 SC

• Maximum Redemption: 9,550 SC per day
