What You Need to Know

  • Sling TV is shutting down its Spin & Win rewards feature on August 31, 2026.
  • The feature lets Sling TV and Freestream users earn spins and prizes by watching for 30 minutes a day.
  • The removal is in contrast to the broader industry trend of expanding membership perks and loyalty programs.

Sling launched its Spin & Win feature in early 2025, as an expansion of its 2024 Watch & Win customer rewards benefit. The feature allows Sling TV and Freestream users to earn spins by watching at least 30 minutes of TV a day.

Once they have earned spins, they can then access the Spin & Win wheel through the Rewards tab in the Sling mobile app and spin for their chance to win prizes, including discounts, free Sling TV, and a $5,000 grand prize.

Sling TV is now advising users that the feature is ending. According to the banner now prominently shown on the Sling Rewards website, Spin & Win will officially come to an end on August 31, 2026.

While Sling hasn’t provided any reason as to why the feature is coming to an end, August is now the last month for users to enter and play.

Sling Ending Rewards Benefit While Others Expand Rewards

It remains unclear whether Sling plans to replace Spin & Win with something else, but the closure of the feature comes at a time when other services seem to be in the process of expanding their rewards programs and benefits.

Earlier this month, for example, Streaming Better first reported on the launch of a new Peacock Membership program, promising subscribers access to a variety of rewards ranging from everyday perks to epic experiences.

Soon after came the news that Disney+ is also currently in the process of revamping its rewards program, as part of a much wider attempt to transform the Disney+ app into a comprehensive membership ecosystem.

If the removal of Spin & Win is a reflection of Sling TV focusing less on its rewards program, the service would be backing away from a retention strategy that others are seemingly now doubling-down on.

    I suspect this is an indicator that Sling itself isn’t far from vanishing altogether.
