Pirate-themed sweeps casino Gold Ahoy has added a notice to its homepage informing players that the site will be shutting down by the end of June, and players must act quickly (by the end of today) to be able to redeem remaining balances.
The message is styled like a final captain’s log from the crew:
“The Ship Has Sailed – With heavy hearts and a final tip of the captain’s hat, Gold Ahoy is closing its ports and our site is ceasing operations.”
Basically, the site is closing down in the next few days – in fact, It will officially cease operations on 30 June, 2026. Before that happens, the operator is giving players a final window to redeem any remaining balances, so we advise players to act ASAP.
The message on the homepage reads:
“Don’t Leave Your Coins Behind – If ye have redeemable Sweeps Coins still in your chest, don’t let them go to Davy Jones’ Locker.”
So anyone with a balance is being asked to contact support before 26 June 2026 (essentially today) so the team can process any remaining redemptions. It’s not the biggest window, but at least it is a window. Another recent sweeps casino closure from ZanZo turned into something of an exit scam in the end.
Support Email and Key Dates for Gold Ahoy Casino Closure
The support email is support@goldahoy.com, and players should include their registered email so accounts can be located without delay. Apparently the support team will respond within three business days.
The full closing message ends on a reflective note:
“It’s been an honor to sail with every one of you – whether you were a deckhand just finding your sea legs or a seasoned captain of the high seas. Thank you for making Gold Ahoy what it was.”
To sum up, the key dates are:
- 25 June 2026: Last day to contact support for redemption help.
- 30 June 2026: Platform ceases operations.
Other Recent Sweeps Closures/Rebrands
Finally, here are a few similar changes in the sweepstakes casino space worth flagging:
- Runestake: The platform has rebranded and now redirects to BoaterBet Rewards. We didn’t rate Runestake particularly highly during its original run, so we won’t be covering the new brand. Former users of Runestake may want to consider switching to an alternative sweepstakes casino instead.
- NioPlay: This site has now fully closed, with operations ending in April 2026. It originally launched in July 2024 but never really gained traction. There was also no official shutdown announcement or press release; the closure only came to light through reports from forum users.
- VegasGlory: The domain is currently returning an error page, which strongly suggests the platform has shut down, likely around May 2026. With no sister sites in operation, S K Futuristic Tech LLC now appears to have fully exited the sweepstakes casino space.
