Tracking bonuses and free entries
How to keep a simple record of daily bonuses, mail-in and online free-entry requests, and credits, so you know what each casino returned.
At a glance
- A short daily log of claims shows which free channels are worth your time.
- Mail-in free entry has postage costs and a crediting delay, so record both dates and expenses.
- Tracker entries are your own records, not verified operator balances.
Free coins without a record turn into guesswork. A short log of what you claimed, when, and what was credited shows which accounts are worth your time, and helps when you come to redeem.
What to record
- Daily bonuses: the date, the casino and what the claim screen showed.
- Mail-in free entry: the date mailed, the number of requests and the postage, then the credit date and amount.
- Online free-entry requests: when you requested and when it was credited.
- Promo codes and drops: the codes you redeemed on the operator’s site.
- Redemptions: the request date, amount, method and when it arrived.
Why mail-in records matter
Postage and stationery are real costs, and a batch mailed this month may be credited weeks later. Without dates and expenses it is hard to tell whether another envelope is worth sending.
Of the 52 casinos in our directory, 30 record mail-in free entry and 3 an online request. The Letter Tracker records mailing dates, letter counts, expenses and credits, and times online requests, so those numbers stay in one place.
Daily bonuses are a volume habit
If you claim on many sites, a log shows which accounts you never come back to. A quick daily claim on ten sites only pays off if you know which ones you actually use.
Keep claims and redemptions together
Before you request a prize you will usually need a redeemable balance, completed playthrough and identity verification. A log shows where that balance came from if the operator’s support asks, and keeps Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin play from blurring together. Redeeming Sweeps Coins covers the operator’s side.
Privacy of your records
Amounts you enter are your own notes: not a bank balance, a tax record or a guarantee of payment. Take care when sharing screenshots that show personal details or account information.
A weekly five-minute review
- Open each account you use and claim what is waiting.
- Log your claims and any new free-entry requests.
- Mark credits that arrived, and note any rejections.
- Stop tracking accounts you never claim on.
- Check that the redemption minimums on your shortlist have not changed.
