In a previous post I mentioned how you could earn money by collecting the daily bonus at High Five Casino. Unfortunately, starting in January 2025 it looks like they have reduced the daily SC bonus from 0.5 to 0.1. This makes a big difference in how fast you can accumulate SC in your account. I noticed that my SC was not growing as fast lately, then I saw that they had changed the daily bonus. Any sweeps coins in your account need to be played before they are eligible for a reward. I would usually wait until I had accumulated around 20 SC and then play a slot game to get some of it converted. Previously, it would take about 6 weeks to get 20 SC. With the daily bonus change, it will now take almost 7 months to acquire that amount.
This pretty much puts an end to being able to play High Five Casino without having to buy sweeps coins. The daily bonus change makes it 5X harder to get enough SC to exchange for a reward. They must have felt that too many people were getting rewards without spending any money. But anyone who visited their online casino to collect SC every day are probably not going to suddenly start buying SC. I figured this would happen eventually, I just didn’t expect this big of a change. At least I was able to get a few $50 gift cards while it was still mathematically possible to do so. I don’t think this will have any effect on the customer base that buys SC, but it will surely reduce the number of rewards they give out to non-paying customers. When gambling with real money I still prefer a real casino. I don’t win very often, but at least I can cash-out whatever I have left at the end of the day.
