Gold Rush City Overview
Gold Rush City is a 2025 sweepstakes casino operated by Play City Group LLC. We tested the platform and found a mobile-first product with a focused two-provider library: Booming Games and Relax Gaming. The 100+ slot catalog is modest, but the native iOS and Android app distinguishes it from the browser-only majority in the 2025 sweepstakes space.
The platform is available across all US states. Packages start at $1.99, one of the lowest entry points in the market alongside Gleaming Slots' $1 first purchase.
The welcome offer delivers 15K GC + 500 SC (15K GC + 500 SC) on signup, notably, 500 SC on a no-deposit welcome is higher than the SC component of most competitors' welcome packages.
Bonuses & Promotions
New accounts receive 15K GC + 500 SC (15K GC + 500 SC) on signup with no deposit required. The 500 SC no-deposit welcome is one of the larger SC welcome amounts in the cohort, Gleaming Slots offers 0 SC on welcome, Go Go Gold offers 8 SC, and Gold Machine offers 1 SC.
The first purchase at $10 delivers 10K GC + 1K SC for $10 (10K GC + 1K SC). A $10 purchase yielding 1,000 SC is a 100:1 SC-per-dollar ratio that's competitive with the broader market.
Daily login bonus is available. VIP Miners Guild structure drives ongoing engagement.
Games & Providers
100+ slots from Booming Games and Relax Gaming only. The two-provider constraint mirrors Goldtreasure's model (Hacksaw + BGaming), focused quality over breadth.
Relax Gaming is the stronger name here. Relax distributes third-party games under the "powered by Relax" network and develops proprietary titles including Money Train series and Deadwood. Money Train 2 and 3 are among the most-played titles on European licensed casino sites. Getting Relax Gaming in the sweepstakes market is notable.
Booming Games has a catalog of 100+ video slots with above-average RTP disclosure. The studio is mid-tier but reliable.
The combined library will skew toward Relax's high-variance titles and Booming's volume coverage. Players who want the variety of 10+ providers should look at Gold Machine, Gains, or GameDayZone.
Platform Features
Native iOS and Android apps are the primary platform differentiator. Among the 2025 sweepstakes cohort, only Gleaming Slots and Go Go Gold (pending confirmation) also offer native apps. The mobile-first design is evident in the UI structure and game loading performance on mobile.
The VIP Miners Guild delivers ongoing loyalty mechanics. Structure details (tier count, earn rates) are not fully published at launch.
Daily login bonus provides consistent play incentives. Packages from $1.99 create low-barrier entry for first-time purchasers.
Mail-in AMOE is available per sweepstakes law compliance.
Banking & Redemptions
The 500 SC minimum redemption is the highest in this review cohort. Gold Machine requires 100 SC; Goldtreasure requires 50 SC; Funz requires the equivalent of $20. The 500 SC floor means players need to accumulate meaningful SC volume before cashing out.
Redemption processing runs 2-5 business days. Payment methods are not fully itemized at launch.
The SC-to-dollar conversion is standard 1:1. The 500 SC minimum represents $500 in cash value, a barrier that filters out casual redemptions.
Customer Support
Contact options include email. No live chat confirmed at launch. Play City Group LLC entity details are not fully published.
Trust & Legitimacy
Gold Rush City is a 2025 launch with no Trustpilot or BBB data. Play City Group LLC is the operator. The sweepstakes model operates under US law. Trust is rated conservatively pending player history.
State Availability
Gold Rush City is available across US states. The platform's terms page is the definitive source for current state availability. No documented prohibited states at review date.

Is Gold Rush City Worth It?
Gold Rush City makes a specific pitch: native mobile app, Relax Gaming's high-variance catalog, and entry packages from $1.99. For mobile-first slot players who want Money Train and Deadwood in the sweepstakes format, Gold Rush City is one of very few options with that combination.
The 500 SC redemption minimum is the largest barrier. Players who redeem smaller SC amounts regularly will find platforms like Funz, Goldtreasure, or Gleaming Slots more accessible. For the mobile player building toward larger redemptions, Gold Rush City is worth testing.
