The practical differences
These are separate operations in our records: CrownCoins is operated by Sunflower Limited and Zula by SCPS LLC, so the factor gaps above compare two different companies, not one owner's two skins.
Both set the same redemption minimum, $50, so neither gives a small-balance player an easier exit.
We have a documented no-purchase entry route for Zula (mail-in postcard) but none confirmed for CrownCoins yet. That is a documentation gap on our side, not proof the route is missing.
CrownCoins: minimum redemption $50. payout methods not confirmed yet. operated by Sunflower Limited.
Zula: minimum redemption $50. payout methods not confirmed yet. operated by SCPS LLC.
