No

or can you earn sweep coins with gold coin play?
Mostly no. You can't generate SC from GC games. There are a couple of tournaments every day that you can only register for if you've played a certain number of GC hands that day. But the buyins are still in SC. There is no way to generate SC from GCs alone.

someone want to try and simplify this for me?
GCs are play money, SCs are dollars
Quote:
in the original post it says gold coins have no value and can't be cashed out?
Correct
Quote:
so what is their purpose?
By selling GCs, the play money, and not SC, the real money, Global has figured out how to circumvent online gambling laws.

so how do you earn sweep coins?
When you buy GC, they "give" you a matching amount of SC. You can play poker with the SC and if you win, you get more SC. There is no way to 'earn' it, like a video game or anything, because it's the real money equivalent. You either deposit it or win it from playing poker.
