How We Rank Casinos
Our transparent methodology for evaluating sweepstakes casinos
We evaluate sweepstakes casinos across six key areas, each weighted based on importance to players. Our team creates real accounts, purchases Gold Coins, plays games, and processes actual redemptions to provide authentic, firsthand reviews.
Our Ranking Criteria
1. Legitimacy & Security (25%)
We verify the casino operates legally under sweepstakes law, check for proper business registration, SSL encryption, and responsible gaming features. Only legitimate operators make our list.
2. Game Selection (20%)
We evaluate the quantity and quality of games, software providers, game variety (slots, table games, live dealer), and the availability of exclusive titles.
3. Bonuses & Promotions (15%)
Welcome bonuses, daily login rewards, VIP programs, and ongoing promotions are all assessed. We look at both the value offered and the fairness of terms.
4. Redemption Process (20%)
We test actual prize redemptions to evaluate processing times, available methods, minimum thresholds, and the overall smoothness of cashing out Sweeps Coins.
5. Customer Support (10%)
We contact support through all available channels (live chat, email, phone) and evaluate response times, helpfulness, and availability.
6. User Experience (10%)
Site navigation, mobile compatibility, loading speeds, and overall design quality contribute to this score. A casino should be enjoyable to use on any device.

- ✓Process actual Sweeps Coin redemptions
- ✓Contact customer support with real questions
- ✓Re-evaluate periodically to ensure accuracy
