What is a social casino?
All In team · 4 November 2026
A social casino is a website or app with casino-style games (slots, blackjack, poker, bingo and more) played with virtual coins instead of money. You can't cash out coins or win prizes. You play for fun, for the challenge, and to climb the leaderboards.
How is it different from online gambling?
| Social casino | Real-money casino | |
|---|---|---|
| What you play with | Virtual coins | Money |
| Can you cash out? | No, coins have no cash value | Yes |
| Prizes | Leaderboards and bragging rights | Cash |
| Cost to play | Free; optional coin packs | You stake money on every bet |
Where do the coins come from?
Social casinos give away coins every day. On All In you get a daily streak bonus, three daily missions, bonus codes from our newsletter and socials, and coins for inviting friends. You can also buy coin packs if you want more, but you never need to.
Are the games fair?
Reputable social casinos use a random number generator to decide results. On All In every spin, card and roll is decided on our server and recorded, so results can't be changed in your browser. The game rules page shows what every game pays.
Who are social casinos for?
Adults who enjoy casino games without the money side: people learning a game like blackjack or poker, people who like slots for the themes and features, and friends competing on weekly leaderboards. All In is 18+.
