Our testing process

  1. Account and verification: we register, claim the welcome offer and complete identity verification.
  2. Hands-on play: we play with Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins on desktop and mobile.
  3. Redemption check: we review redemption rules and track how long prize redemptions take.
  4. Bonus tracking: we log daily rewards and promotions over several days.
  5. Support test: we contact support and rate the response.
  6. Terms review: we read the sweeps rules, eligible states and responsible play tools.

Keeping rankings current

Sweepstakes offers and state laws change often. We re-check offers and terms regularly, update pages when something material changes, and show the latest review date and update history on each guide.

What we never do

  • Accept payment for a higher score or a positive review.
  • Hide a site's drawbacks — every listed casino includes cons.
  • Present sweepstakes play as a way to make money.
