How we rank sweepstakes casinos
Four measured inputs, fixed weights, and a score you can recalculate yourself. No casino can pay to move.
The weightsWhat goes into the score
Redemption speed
Average time from an approved redemption to arrival, from dated player reports collected each month.
Usable bonus
Free Sweepstakes Coins in the welcome offer, measured against the redemption minimum. Gold Coins score nothing.
Fair terms
Playthrough, redemption minimum, bonus expiry and how clearly the rules are written.
Support and app
Time to a first human reply on a redemption question, tested from a real account, and whether the site works cleanly on a phone.
From figure to score
| Input | 5.0 | 4.0 | 3.0 | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Redemption speed | Under 8 hours | About a day | Two days or more | Monthly |

| Fair terms | 1x playthrough, 50 SC minimum | 1x playthrough, 100 SC minimum | 2x playthrough | When terms change |
| Support and app | Human reply within an hour, app without faults | Reply same day | Reply next day or later | Quarterly |
Things we do not score
Commercial deals. There are none. This site does not earn affiliate commissions, no casino pays us when a reader signs up, and no casino can buy a position. The four inputs above are the whole method.
Game counts. Every casino claims hundreds or thousands of titles, nobody counts them the same way and none of it can be checked. Where a library is genuinely different, as with Stake.us originals or High 5 Games exclusives, the review says so in words.
Looks. We have opinions about design. They do not belong in a score about getting paid.
When scores change
Redemption times are recalculated monthly from the previous month’s reports. Bonus and terms scores change the day a casino changes its terms, which we check weekly and whenever a reader tells us something moved. Support is retested quarterly from a fresh account.
A casino that slows down slides. A casino that cuts its minimum climbs. There is no editorial override, and the date at the top of each review shows when its figures were last confirmed.
