SportsMillions Review

SportsMillions is a growing sports betting and social casino platform that offers users a chance to play daily fantasy sports (DFS) and sweepstakes, compile picks in parlays, and play casino games like slots and cascading reels. The number one selling point for the platform: On SportsMillions, you can play for free or for real money. You can even play for free and redeem your winnings for cash prizes if you have enough luck.

But on SportsMillions, things can get confusing pretty quick. There are three types of gameplay: Pick'em, Blitz'em, and Social Casino. There are three types of currency: real dollars for Pick'em, and Gold Coins (GC) and Sweepstakes Coins (SC) that you can use on Blitz'em and the Social Casino. Gold Coins are used to pay for gameplay while Sweepstakes Coins are redeemable for cash prizes.

With free-to-play games and sports betting, SportsMillions offers the best of both worlds

SportsMillions has two digital apps: One for Pick'em and another combining Blitz'em with Social Casino. But while they have two apps, they're both for iPhone — SportsMillions crucially doesn't have an Android app.

Because of the confusion surrounding their currencies and a strange offering of digital apps, we wouldn't recommend SportsMillions to just anyone. In this review, we'll highlight a few ways you can enjoy SportsMillions and take advantage of promotional offers — and we'll also issue a handful of downsides to keep in mind as you enjoy the platform.

With multiple currencies that serve confusing purposes, two iPhone apps with none for Android, and a Blitz'em game that few folks are familiar with, it may not surprise you that SportsMillions' bonus offers for first-time users are a bit convoluted. But we're simplifying things in this review of SportsMillions, so let's get down to brass tacks — SportsMillions offers daily bonus coins, welcome bonuses and has plenty of promotions to make it worth your while.

Pick'em Welcome Bonus

The simplest bonus offer for first-time users on SportsMillions is a $10 bonus on your first Pick'em deposit. It's just that simple: Make a deposit of any amount into your SportsMillions account, and receive an extra $10 in your account to play Pick'em games.

Here's how to claim your $10 bonus from SportsMillions:

1. Join SportsMillions by signing up or logging into your account.
2. Head to the Pick'em section and browse the latest games and matchups.
3. Deposit to play your first predictions by choosing whether the stat will be over or under.
4. Claim your $10.
5. Keep the action going!

We've compiled a list of terms and conditions for anyone looking to take advantage of SportsMillions' $10 bonus offer below.

Blitz'em & Social Casino Welcome Bonus

If you're looking to make picks on SportsMillions' Blitz'em platform or play games on their social casino, you'll need to load up on some Gold Coins and Sweepstakes Coins. You'll receive 1,000 GCs and 2.5 SCs from SportsMillions just for signing up. And while 2.5 SCs doesn't get you very far, 1,000 GCs is plenty enough to get started playing. One of SportsMillions' selling points is that they offer free Gold Coins and Sweepstakes Coins just for logging on each day.

Don't want to buy coins? SportsMillions offers 200 GCs and 0.25 SCs for free each time you log on!

The most important thing to remember about SportsMillions currencies is that Gold Coins cannot be redeemed for real cash prizes, while Sweepstakes Coins can be exchanged for real money at a rate of $1 per SC.

First-time players on the SportsMillions platform are eligible for their Mega 1st Purchase offer which nets users 50,000 Gold Coins for $9.99, plus an additional 25 Sweepstakes Coins for free. Play with Gold Coins as long as they're available in your account, and wager Sweepstakes Coins for a chance to win and exchange earning for cash prizes.

SportsMillions Referral Bonuses

Want to earn some free coins? Know some friends who'd like the SportsMillions platform? Refer any new user to SportsMillions and you'll earn $15,000 Gold Coins and 70 Sweepstakes Coins. Here's how it works:

1. Refer a friend by sending them your unique link
2. Get 5,000 Gold Coins and 20 Sweepstakes Coins free when they make purchases over $50 with a verified account
3. Get another 10,000 Gold Coins and 50 Sweepstakes Coins free when they make additional purchases worth $900 or more

SportsMillions also includes a referral bonus for Pick'em users, but we'd suggest reading the fine print before taking advantage of it.

As we've mentioned, there are three different types of gameplay on SportsMillions: Pick'em, Blitz'em, and social casino. There are also three different currencies you can use to play SportsMillions: real US dollars, Gold Coins and Sweepstakes Coins.

In our experience, getting started with SportsMillions can be a bit difficult because they fail to lay out all the information plainly about why their currencies are set up the way they are. In order to show you how you can play SportsMillions for free or to earn real money, let's break down each mode of gameplay and each type of currency on the platform.

Using Each Currency on SportsMillions

Here's the final step of the convoluted SportsMillions currency framework. If you're looking to play Pick'em games, you'll only play with US dollars. But for Blitz'em and social casino games, you will need to choose whether you'd like to play with Gold Coins or Sweepstakes coins.

This is another red flag for new users on the SportsMillions platform. The toggle for selecting Gold Coins or Sweepstakes Coins isn't easy to find or intuitive, and it can nudge users into betting with a currency they may not have intended to use. This is especially important because losing Sweepstakes Coins is like losing real money, since they're redeemable for real cash.

Users should know exactly what they're wagering at all times, and an iGaming platform should make it easy for them to understand.

If you feel confident that you understand what type of coin you're using to play games on SportsMillions, outstanding! You shouldn't have a difficult time using the platform and finding a game that suits what you're looking for.

Just keep in mind: Although Gold Coins are available for purchase and Sweepstakes Coins are not, Sweepstakes Coins are redeemable for real money — Gold Coins are not.

SportsMillions Pick'em

If you're looking for a traditional daily fantasy sports (DFS) platform that offers a wide variety of picks on a wide variety of contests, you could do far worse than SportsMillions. While traditional sportsbooks offer a more robust selection of sports to bet on and prop bets to choose from, Pick'em on SportsMillions offers fans the opportunity to pick over/unders on a handful of stats for marquee players each day.

Think Donovan Mitchell can tally 31 or more points + assists in tonight's Cavs game? Think he'll have a hard time reaching 25.5 points against a talented Heat defense? Simply choose "Higher" or "Lower" to make your pick on any prop bets that you'd like to bet on. Choose anywhere between two and 12 picks to place your Pick'em wager.

We'd recommend SportsMillions' Pick'em platform for any sports bettors who like playing daily fantasy sports games and have enough sports knowledge to place their DFS picks confidently. Users might argue that SportsMillions is tailored a bit more to casual sports fans for two reasons: Their Pick'em game leans heavily on marquee teams and players, and their Blitz'em game requires very little knowledge to play.

SportsMillions Blitz'em

SportsMillions isn't shy about calling their Blitz'em game exactly what it is. "No sports knowledge? No problem!" they boast in a social media post promoting the game. Like your co-worker who won the office March Madness pool without ever having watched college hoops, Blitz'em offers very casual sports fans an opportunity to get very lucky and earn a big payout.

Blitz'em is a social sports betting game that begins with users spinning a digital wheel to determine their potential prize. From there, SportsMillions randomly generates legs of a multi-leg parlay that typically includes three to five picks. It's the same idea as winning a parlay on a sportsbook: The odds are very long that every leg hits, so even a small wager of GCs or SCs could net a huge return.

Have no sports knowledge but still want to bet on sports? Try out SportsMillions' Blitz'em game!

Of course, the one thing that makes Blitz'em on SportsMillions most unique is that SportsMillions generates the Blitz'em legs randomly for users. You can choose a player, team, or game, but from there, SportsMillions makes the picks themselves at random. So if you have little to no sports knowledge, Blitz'em could be a great game for your to dip your toe into the waters or sports betting.

SportsMillions Social Casino

If you've ever played an online social casino, you'll feel right at home in SportsMillions' social casino lobby. Choose from an enormous array of slots and other casino games and play for fun with Gold Coins or try to win big with Sweepstakes Coins.

SportsMillions' social casino includes a handful of casino game types, including the following:

• Jackpot Play

• Hold and Win

• Megaways

• Cascading Reels

• Slots

In keeping with their standard of confusing their own customers, SportsMillions has a digital app offering that you might struggle to wrap your head around. First of all, SportsMillions does not have an Android app right now. So if you're an Android user who wants to play SportsMillions games, you'll need to do so on desktop.

If you want to play SportsMillions on an iPhone, you've got a couple of options we'll dig into below. As you'll see in the app store user reviews we've included, most users do enjoy the gameplay and functionality of SportsMillions' mobile offering. But the setup and structure of the apps creates another negative for SportsMillions users, in our view.

SportsMillions' Two iPhone Apps

Here's the kicker: Not only does SportsMillions not feature an Android app currently; they have no one iPhone app, but two. SportsMillions has one app for their Pick'em game, and a separate app for their Blitz'em and social casino games.

The reason appears to be tied to their different currencies — the Pick'em app allows users to deposit and withdraw US dollars to make DFS picks, while the Blitz'em and social casino app utilizes the Gold and Sweepstakes Coin currencies.

Personally, I find SportsMillions' app setup to be a significant downside. Of course, having no Android app definitely knocks them down a peg. But separating their iOS offering into two separate apps will infuriate players who like to dabble in both Pick'em and Blitz'em or social casino games. The apps having confusing names, too — we'll get into that more below.

If you're trying to download either of SportsMillions' apps from the Apple App Store, you may even have trouble finding them. That's because SportsMillions chose to name their apps using "SM" to save characters instead of "SportsMillions."

The SportsMillions apps official App Store names are the following:

• SM Pick'em Fantasy Sports
• SM Sports & Casino Games

Sure, the names help users identify exactly what the app will provide when they download it. But as you can see above, the Blitz'em and social casino app simply says "Blitz'em" in the app logo.

If you're able to comprehend SportsMillions' approach to their apps and currencies, you're either very smart, or — hopefully — you read this review first.

As with every sportsbook, DFS site, online casino or pick'em game, SportsMillions is only legal in certain US states. Luckily for us, you can play games on SportsMillions in 20+ states. But the legality of SportsMillions doesn't just depend on state; it also depends on which games you'd like to play.

Below, you'll find a list of states in which you can play Pick'em, Blitz'em, or social casino games on SportsMillions. While there are 20 states in which you can play Pick'em, you'll find several more states available to play Blitz'em and social casino games.

Before digging into any sportsbook or sports betting alternative like SportsMillions, you should make sure they have adequate customer support in case any issues arise. Lucky for you, we've tracked down their customer service options.

SportsMillions has a pretty good system for customer support which includes a form submission, but if you want access to all of SportsMillions' customer support options, you're going to have to pay for it.

Here are SportsMillions' customer support options:

• 24/7 form submission
• FAQ on website and both iPhone apps
• Live chat for paying customers

To get access to SportsMillions' live chat, you simply need to make a purchase for a package of Gold Coins. At that point, you'll have customer service representatives available via live chat 24 hours a day.

Unfortunately, the available options for depositing and withdrawing funds from your SportsMillions account leave a bit to be desired. In this section, we'll break down the payment methods and available options for depositing and withdrawing funds, whether it's real dollars or a cash prize.

Payment Options

To deposit money or withdraw funds from your Pick'em or Blitz'em account on SportsMillions, you'll need to use one of the following payment methods:

• Visa
• Mastercard
• Discover Card

Unfortunately, SportsMillions does not accept Venmo or PayPal as payment options for deposits and withdrawals.

SportsMillions' limited options for payment methods and minimum of 75 SCs for earning cash prizes are both negative aspects of their platform, but as long as you're comfortable using one of their payment options and are aware of the 75-SC minimum, you'll be in good shape to enjoy games on SportsMillions.
