This is the page most people care about: can you actually get paid, and how? The short answer is yes - Mystery Coins are the redeemable currency, valued at about 1 MC to 1 US dollar, and the playthrough is a light 1x. Below is the step-by-step process, the thresholds, the methods and realistic timings.
How redemption works, step by step
Clear the 1x playthrough
Play your Mystery Coins through games once so they become Eligible Mystery Coins.
Open the cashier
Go to the redemption section of your account.
Verify your identity
Complete KYC through Veriff with a photo ID; do this early to avoid delays.
Choose method and amount
Pick a gift card (from 10 MC) or bank transfer (from 75 MC).
Confirm and wait
Submit the request; gift cards land in about 48 hours, bank transfers in a few business days.
Redemption thresholds and methods
| Method | Minimum | Typical time | Playthrough |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gift cards | 10 MC | ~48 hours | 1x |
| Bank transfer | 75 MC | ~2-10 business days | 1x |
Mystery Coins convert at roughly 1 MC to 1 US dollar, so 75 Eligible Mystery Coins is about a 75 dollar bank redemption. Gift cards are the fastest route and have the lowest threshold, which is why I usually suggest a first-time player starts there.
Gift cards vs bank transfer
The two routes suit different goals. Gift cards are the fastest and cheapest to reach: a 10 MC minimum, processing in roughly 48 hours, and a choice of popular retailer and brand cards. They are ideal for a first redemption or for cashing out smaller balances quickly. A bank transfer needs 75 MC but sends the value straight to your account, which is better once you have built a larger balance and want cash rather than store credit. Many players I talk to start with a gift card to confirm the process works, then switch to bank transfers for bigger redemptions.
Why verification matters
Like every legitimate sweepstakes operator, Card Crush must confirm who you are before releasing prizes. KYC is handled by Veriff, and you will normally upload a government photo ID, with proof of address requested in some cases. It protects your account and satisfies anti-fraud rules. Completing it as soon as you sign up means your first redemption is not held up while documents are reviewed.
Fees, taxes and expectations
Card Crush does not charge a fee to redeem Mystery Coins, though your bank may apply its own processing times. Prizes you redeem can be taxable income depending on the amount and your situation - this site is not tax advice, so keep your own records and consult a professional if you redeem significant amounts. Most importantly, treat redemptions as an occasional bonus from free play, not a reliable income stream; the model is built for entertainment first, and the prizes are a pleasant extra rather than the point.
Redemption limits and good habits
- One request at a time. Card Crush typically allows one redemption request per 48 hours.
- Eligible coins only. Only Mystery Coins that have cleared the 1x playthrough can be redeemed; promotional coins must not have expired.
- Match your details. Your verified name must match the receiving account to avoid rejected payouts.
- Keep it fun. Redemptions are prizes from free play, not a guaranteed income - use our responsible gaming tools.
Where your coins come from
Before you can redeem, you need eligible coins. The fastest free sources are covered on earning Mystery Coins, and if you open boxes, remember the 1x playthrough on Mystery Coins applies to those too.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I redeem Mystery Coins at Card Crush?
Play your Mystery Coins through games one time so they become Eligible Mystery Coins, then open the cashier, complete identity verification via Veriff if you have not already, choose a redemption method and amount, and confirm. Gift cards start at 10 MC and bank transfers at 75 MC, at roughly 1 MC to 1 US dollar.
How long do Card Crush redemptions take?
Gift cards are usually processed within about 48 hours. Bank transfers typically take a few business days, commonly two to ten depending on your bank. First-time redemptions can take a little longer because KYC has to be completed before any prize is released.
What is the minimum redemption at Card Crush?
The minimum is 10 Eligible Mystery Coins for gift cards and 75 Eligible Mystery Coins for a bank transfer. Mystery Coins must have cleared their single 1x playthrough to count as eligible.
Do I need to verify my identity to redeem?
Yes. KYC is mandatory before any redemption and is handled through Veriff. You will typically provide a government photo ID and sometimes proof of address. Verifying early means your first redemption is not delayed.
Is there a playthrough requirement?
Yes, but it is light. Mystery Coins must be played through one time (1x) before they can be redeemed. After that single playthrough they become Eligible Mystery Coins ready to convert to prizes.
