How many Sweeps Coins do I get per Chumba mail-in card?

Five Sweeps Coins per valid card. Chumba occasionally runs promotions with higher payouts; check the Sweeps Rules page on chumbacasino.com for the current value before mailing.

Can I use a postcard or a 3x5 index card instead of 4x6?

No. Chumba's rules require an unlined 4 inch by 6 inch index card. Postcards, 3x5 cards, and folded paper are rejected.

Do I need a Chumba Casino account before mailing a card?

Yes. You need an active Chumba Casino account first. The name, email, and address on the card must match the information on file in your account.

How long does it take to receive the Sweeps Coins?

Chumba Casino processes valid postal requests in 8 to 10 weeks. There is no tracking. The Sweeps Coins appear in your account balance once the request is approved.

Is there a daily limit on how many mail-in cards I can send?

There is no daily limit, but only one card is allowed per envelope, and each 12-digit Postal Request Code is single-use with a 60-day validity window.

Can I mail my card from a state where Chumba Casino is restricted?

No. Mailing from a restricted state (California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Washington, or West Virginia) will result in the card being rejected. The postmark must match an eligible state.

Can I type the card or use a photocopy?

No. The card must be hand-printed in black ink on a single side of an original 4x6 unlined index card. Typed, photocopied, or printed cards are rejected.

What if I lose my 12-digit Postal Request Code?

Log back in to chumbacasino.com and visit the Sweeps Rules page. A new 12-digit code is displayed. The previous code is no longer valid.

Can someone else mail my card for me?

No. The card and envelope must be in your own handwriting, and the postmark must match your state of residence on file with Chumba Casino.

Who Can Do This

You must be 21 or older to use Chumba Casino. You must also live in a state where Chumba is allowed.

Chumba is not available in these states:

California (CA)
Connecticut (CT)
Delaware (DE)
Idaho (ID)
Indiana (IN)
Louisiana (LA)
Maine (ME)
Michigan (MI)
Mississippi (MS)
Montana (MT)
Nevada (NV)
New Jersey (NJ)
New York (NY)
Tennessee (TN)
Washington (WA)
West Virginia (WV)

If you live in one of these states, do not send the card. Chumba will reject it. The list also blocks all of Canada except Quebec.

You also need an active Chumba account before you mail the card. The card needs an email and an address that match your account. If they do not match, the request is denied.

What You Need

To send your card, you need a few things:

Item	What it looks like
One blank 4" x 6" index card	Unlined. No drawings. One side only.
A black pen	Print. Do not write in cursive.
One #10 envelope	The long business size.
One first-class US stamp	Currently $0.78 in 2026.
Your 12-digit Postal Request Code	From chumbacasino.com → Sweeps Rules page.

The 12-digit code is the most important part. Each code only works one time. Each code is good for 60 days. If you use a code twice, the second card is rejected.

How to Get Your 12-Digit Code

Log in to your Chumba Casino account at chumbacasino.com.
Scroll to the footer at the bottom of the page.
Click “Sweeps Rules”.
Look for the section about postal requests. Your unique 12-digit code is shown there.
Write it down. Keep it close.

The code is unique to your account. Do not share it. Do not let anyone else use it.

How to Write the Card

Get your blank 4" x 6" card. Use a black pen. Print neatly. Use only one side.

Here is what goes on the card:

Annotated 4x6 index card showing where to write the postal request code, name, email, account address, and declaration statement — The standard 4×6 card layout Chumba requires.

Copy this in order:

Postal Request Code: Your 12-digit code from Chumba.
Full Legal Name: Your full name. It must match your government ID.
Account Email: The same email you used to sign up at Chumba.
Residential Address: Your home address. It must match the address on your Chumba account.
Declaration: Write this exactly as it is shown, with the quote marks:

“I wish to receive Sweeps Coins to participate in the sweepstakes promotions offered by Chumba Casino. By submitting this request, I hereby declare that I have read, understood and agree to be bound by Chumba Casino’s Terms and Conditions and Sweeps Rules.”

That is it. Do not add anything else. Do not draw on the card. Do not tape anything to the card. The card must be in your own handwriting.

How to Address the Envelope

Take a #10 envelope. That is the long business-size envelope. Address it like this:

Upper left corner: Write “Sweepstakes Entries” on the first line. Below that, write your return address. This is your name and your home address.
Top right corner: Put a first-class stamp here.
Center of the envelope: Write the Chumba address exactly like this:

VGW GAMES LIMITED
Chumba Casino Sweepstakes Department
P.O. Box 9501
Portsmouth, NH 03802

Hand-write the envelope in black ink. Do not print it from a printer. Do not use stickers.

How to Mail It

Slip the card inside the envelope. Seal it. Drop it in a blue USPS mailbox or take it to a post office.

You must mail the card from your state. Chumba checks the postmark. If you live in Pennsylvania, the card must be mailed from a Pennsylvania post office. If a friend in another state mails it for you, the card can be denied.

How Long It Takes

Chumba says it takes 8 to 10 weeks. Sometimes it is faster. Sometimes it is slower. There is no rush. There is no tracking. You will see the 5 Sweeps Coins show up in your Chumba account when they process it.

How Many Cards Can You Send?

You can send as many envelopes as you want. There is no daily limit. Most players send a few each month.

But there are two rules:

One card per envelope. Putting two cards in one envelope means both are denied.
One use per code. Each 12-digit code works one time. After the code is used or expires, log back in to Chumba and get a new one.

Common Mistakes That Get Your Card Rejected

Here is what to avoid:

Typing the card. Chumba only accepts handwritten cards.
Using a photocopy. Cards must be original.
Wrong card size. The card has to be 4" x 6". Postcards or 3" x 5" cards do not count.
Two requests in one envelope. One card. One envelope. Always.
Missing the declaration. The exact words have to be on the card.
Wrong name or address. Your info on the card must match your Chumba account.
Mailing from another state. Postmark must match your state of residence.
Reused code. Each code is one-time-use.
Old code. Codes only work for 60 days.

If any of these happen, Chumba throws the card away. You do not get a notice. You just do not see any new Sweeps Coins.

Is It Worth It?

Five Sweeps Coins is about $5 in cash prize value. If you spend an hour writing 5 cards, that is $25 worth of free SC for an hour of work. The stamps cost about $3.90. So you would net about $21.

Many players send 10 to 30 cards at a time during their morning routine. It is a slow way to build a balance. It is also the only way to play Chumba for free if you do not want to use the daily login bonuses.

What to Do After You Get the Sweeps Coins

Once the SC hit your account:

Play any sweepstakes-eligible game with your SC balance.
To cash out, you need a minimum SC balance (Chumba’s terms list the current minimum).
You also have to verify your identity (KYC) before your first redeem.

Redemption is done by Chumba directly. Not by mail.
