Why SC should not be labeled money
The official terms define Shuffle Cash as sweepstakes entries. Prize eligibility requires additional conditions, meaning a 10 SC balance should not be described as an immediately withdrawable $10 bank balance.

Balance status example
A user could hold 30,000 Gold Coins and 105 SC. The 30,000 GC has no cash redemption route; the 105 SC does not guarantee a redemption because identity, playthrough and eligible-balance requirements still apply.
