I didn’t think I would be writing about a social casino teaming up with one of North America’s biggest GT racing events, but here we are. If you follow either space, this partnership between Crown Coins Casino and the GT World Challenge America is worth talking about.
From 15–17 August 2025, Road America in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, won’t just be about roaring engines and photo finish drama. The event will reportedly be known as the Crown Coins Casino GT World at Road America, marking a first-of-its-kind crossover between a sweepstakes casino and the high-octane world of GT3 racing.
On 1 August 2025, SRO America, the group behind GT World Challenge, confirmed that Crown Coins Casino would become the title sponsor for its headline race weekend at Road America.
If you’re not deep into motorsport, this isn’t a minor partnership. The weekend features over 100 race cars across six support series, with the main event being two 90-minute GT3 races. We’re talking elite brands like Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, McLaren, Mercedes-AMG, and more. The branding deal also includes a presence at the Indianapolis 8 Hour in October, extending Crown Coins' involvement to the season finale. Here’s a quick look at what’s happening:
| 💡 Event Name | Crown Coins Casino GT World at Road America |
|---|---|
| 📆 Dates | August 15–17, 2025 |
| 🔍 Location | Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin |
| ▶️ Main Event | Two GT3 races (90 minutes each) |
| ➕ Support Series | Six series, over 100 cars entered |
| ☑️ Sponsor | Crown Coins Casino |
This isn't just any weekend at the racetrack. GT World Challenge America is one of the top GT3 racing series in the U.S., and Road America is one of the most respected circuits on the calendar.
The event regularly attracts thousands of fans and features some of the most recognizable car brands in global motorsport. The track itself is just over 4 miles long, with 14 turns, long straights, and signature elevation changes. The main attraction is the two GT3 races, each 90 minutes long, with driver changes, pit stops, and class-based competition. Add in six other support series and you’ve got one of the most stacked race weekends in North America.

👑 Crown Coins Casino Named Official Title Sponsor for GT World Challenge America
One thing that stood out immediately in the press release was the fan activation zone. This isn’t just a static sponsorship, Crown Coins is going all in on the whole live event experience. They’re reportedly launching a brand-new title called Crown Coins GT World during the weekend. It’s a digital game, likely race-themed (though gameplay details weren’t confirmed), and will be part of the fan midway experience.
There’s more happening trackside too:
This might sound like a weird crossover at first, but it actually lines up pretty well with what’s happening across both industries.
Motorsport audiences are already digitally plugged in. Watching livestreams, following teams on socials, and getting into eSports sim racing. And digital gaming brands have been looking for real-world partnerships that will raise a few eyebrows. We’ve seen traditional sportsbooks team up with F1, Formula E, NASCAR, and more. Now we’re seeing sweepstakes casinos make that same move. For Crown Coins, this is exposure to thousands of trackside fans plus everyone tuning in online. And for SRO, it’s about engaging a younger, online-savvy audience in a completely new way.

🏁 GT World Challenge America Welcomes Crown Coins Casino as New Title Sponsor
If you miss the Road America weekend, don’t worry, because this isn’t a one-and-done. The Crown Coins sponsorship continues into the Indianapolis 8 Hour, which runs in mid October.
That race closes out the GT World Challenge America season and is part of the global Intercontinental GT Challenge, so the brand will get even more international exposure. Whether there’ll be another game launch or exclusive fan experience hasn’t been confirmed yet, but based on what they’re doing in August, I’d keep an eye out.
Crown Coins Casino is going big with this one. Not just logos, but new games, trackside activations, and real fan engagement. And for Road America and the GTWC brand, it’s a chance to tap into a new digital-first audience.
If you're heading to Wisconsin in August, grab your merch, test the new game, and maybe… just maybe, score a lap in a real GT car.
