The published payment menu

Method Purchase Redemption Our test clearing time
Credit/Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard) Yes No Instant credit
Cash App Yes Yes 1 hour 31 minutes
Chime Yes Yes per Chime processing

Three methods. Two redemption paths (Cash App, Chime).

Notably absent: PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Amex, Discover, Skrill, crypto, Bank Transfer (ACH), Prizeout, eGift cards.

The Chime acceptance is unique

Chime is a US neobank that has grown significantly with younger demographic users (Millennial and Gen Z customer base). Most sweepstakes operators do not list Chime as a separate payment integration; Ruby Sweeps does.

For Chime account holders, the direct integration removes the need to route through a Chime debit card (which would still work as a standard Visa/Mastercard entry). The Chime-direct integration likely settles faster than card-based redirects.

The Cash App purchase test

We submitted the $9.99 first-purchase via Cash App Wednesday at 5:55 AM. Cash App deep-link launched the Cash App iOS app, presented confirmation, returned to Ruby Sweeps. End-to-end: 23 seconds.

The Cash App redemption test

40 Emeralds Cash App redemption cleared in 1 hour 31 minutes to Cashtag.

What is absent

The cashier omits Visa/Mastercard/Discover/Amex on the redemption side, ACH bank transfer entirely, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and crypto. Players without Cash App or Chime have no documented cash-out path.

KYC requirements before redemption

Standard three-document requirement plus Cash App or Chime account verification. Total KYC turnaround: 49 hours 57 minutes.

Tax disclosure

IRS Form 1099-MISC at $600 USD cash-equivalent aggregate per Publication 525.

Negatives we documented

  1. 3-method cashier. No PayPal, no Apple Pay, no Amex, no Discover, no crypto, no ACH.
  2. Cash App or Chime required for redemption. No alternative.
  3. 49-hour KYC is slow.
