I created my GoldRushCity.com review after signing up and spending some time on the site. I also claimed the welcome offer of 15,000 Gold Coins and 500 Sweeps Coins.
I’ll tell you more about the coins and how they work here, along with considering site usability, customer service ratings, and other site features including how to make any optional Gold Coin purchases (Sweeps Coins cannot be purchased). Let’s begin.

There is a promo section available in the site menu, but you won’t need to go there to read about the welcome offer on the site. The top of the homepage provides a welcome message along with confirmation that you will receive 15,000 Gold Coins plus 500 Sweeps Coins if you join the site, all without having to enter a specific Goldrushcity promo code. Any other offers will be available in the promotions area, which is directly beneath the game areas in the menu. If you want to read a more in-depth assessment of the opening offer, you can head across to the bonus review for further details.
The first thing I noted was the amount of information I could look through before signing up. There were details of the welcome offer, social casino-style games to view on the homepage, and confirmation of a promo area in the menu. I could also get to the terms for the site easily enough, thanks to the presence of another menu with smaller links at the bottom of the page. The Sweeps Rules were there as well. This is different from the highly-sought after Fortune Coins mystery bonus where the exact reward you'll receive is a secret.
The games collection has an unusual split, since there are sections for new, exclusive, and popular social games, rather than types of social games. While they do offer Slingo titles alongside the slot games, there isn’t a specific section for those. That said, I did manage to spot individual titles easily enough - it’s just a bit different from most other similar sites I have explored in the past. Once I had created an account, I was able to see the Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins I’d received from the Goldrushcity no deposit offer in my balance. This appears underneath the site logo, and I found it easy enough to tell how many of each coin I had. I was able to select a preferred coin from there too, in readiness for playing some of the social or sweepstakes casino-style games.
If there is one thing there is a lot of at this social and sweepstakes casino, it’s options, at least when it comes to deciding how to access the service. It didn’t take me long to find confirmation of a mobile app for iOS users in the App Store, and to find the equivalent for Android users in the Google Play Store. Since the site is a new kid on the scene, it wasn’t a surprise to find app reviews in single digits. The iOS app seems to perform well enough, although I preferred the larger screen size of the website.
Choosing an app means you will need to update it whenever a new one becomes available. There have been some recently, perhaps because of the recent launch of the site, so it remains to be seen how often updates pop up in the future. The iOS app does not have as many positive reviews as the Android app, but since it is early days, any negative reviews will reduce the overall rating in a more pronounced manner. The presentation is very different if you use an app, though, so be aware of that if you check it out.
Goldrushcity.com isn't one of the real money social casinos, so you won’t see any deposit or withdrawal information here. It is a social and sweepstakes casino and one thing you will see is the option to purchase some more Gold Coins. However, there are two things to remember here - firstly, purchases are always optional, and secondly, the Gold Coins cannot be redeemed for real prizes. Make sure you are clear on that before making any purchases. You should also note that the GoldRushCity.com Sweeps Coins are not available to be purchased. Rather, you should pick them up for free whenever you can.
The site offers card methods for making purchases, and generally speaking, any Sweeps Coins winnings that you redeem should be redeemed to the method you previously used for a purchase. If you didn’t do this, you will need to choose a method for this purpose. I found details on the site that suggest online banking is the best option in this case. Their redemption rules also state that you must choose a method in your name - and this should be the same as the name you have attached to your account. You will need to meet their verification requirements before a SC redemption becomes possible, too.
I did spend some time considering all quarters of the site, and noted plenty of information provided between the terms of use and the Sweeps Rules. However, there is also a help section in the lower menu, which leads to a page offering nine areas of interest. Each area then provides some questions and answers. The location tracking area was where I finally found out about the prohibited US states, which ought to be easier to confirm. Having attempted to sign up from what turned out to be a prohibited state, I didn’t find out until after I had verified my email address and allowed the site access to see where I was based.
The other areas of the help section are useful enough, but the support and contact section only gave me the option to fill out an online request form for enquiries. This took me to another page, which turned out to be inside a help center - bigger than the help section on the website. Hopefully, this will be more easily linked in future, since it is useful to access - once you know how. I did not find any live chat or phone access though. GoldRushCity.com is reliable, but it is difficult to find easy access to this area.

A standard casino license is not required for social and sweepstakes casinos, although such sites do need to abide by sweepstakes rules. That’s why you will see a link to their sweeps rules at the bottom of the website. That’s where I also found details of the site ownership, which belongs to Play City Group LLC. They are based in Atlanta, Georgia. Having reviewed plenty of these sites before, I usually spot a message in this area stating that you do not need to make any purchases to use the site. There was no message of this kind at GoldRushCity.com, but I did find it at the top of the sweepstakes rules.
There isn’t too much information available to go on when it comes to the loyalty or VIP provision on the site. However, I noted that I could level up by watching my progress on a bar provided inside my account. Earning Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins can influence progress here, but while the site mentions some bonuses, it does not provide further details on what those might be.
The site is quite new, so it may be a while before extensive ratings are available. However, this online review should provide you with the basic information you need before you consider joining the site.
Yes, the website is secure to use and they provide apps in both the Google Play and App Store as well.
The site provides sweepstakes play, but you can also approach it as a social casino. The Gold Coins are offered for social play, whereas Sweeps Coins are available to play with too. If you win Sweeps Coins you can redeem those for a real prize.
Overall, the site is solid enough, although there are some areas where it could be better. Given its relatively recent entry into the social and sweepstakes field, this could soon be rectified as the site settles down. I would like to see more social casino-style games to play, especially a few table games, as there are currently none of those at all. It was refreshing to see some Slingo games though. More info on certain features would be good, especially regarding the loyalty element, but there is plenty to get you underway should you decide to play there. GoldRushCity.com is legit though, which is reassuring to know.

The menu makes it clear that the site focuses on slots and Slingo. There are categories for exclusive, new, and popular games, and you’ll find all the slots and Slingo titles in there. I did not find any table games, nor any live titles to try. There weren’t many game studios in action either, although I did spot Relax Gaming titles and plenty more from Booming Games.
The welcome offer reveals the two types of in-house currency available on the site, and you won't need a promo code to claim this, just like I didn't need to search for a Smiles Casino promo code to get their welcome offer. The Goldrushcity welcome offer reveals 15,000 Gold Coins, which are playable on the social casino games. The deal also provides you with 500 Sweeps Coins, and the idea there is to play them to attempt to win more. You cannot redeem Sweeps Coins that you haven’t won via gameplay. SC winnings are redeemable for a real cash prize, though. After the welcome offer, I noted a daily login bonus to claim as well.
No, the site hasn’t been going for long, but it is run by Play City Group LLC, and they provide detailed address information on the site. It works using a familiar social and sweepstakes casino platform, so if you are used to those, you will know roughly what to expect from this site. Their games collection is smaller than some, but there are a few exclusives to note.
