Updates Policy

What "Last updated" actually means on this site, and how often we re-verify the facts behind every page.

Honest Dates

Dates change only when content substantively changes — never for show

Scheduled Re-Checks

Bonuses, redemption rules, and availability are re-verified on a fixed cadence

No Stale Facts

Facts we can no longer verify are re-checked, marked, or removed

What "Last Updated" Means

When a page on FortuneSweep shows a "Last updated" date, it means the content changed substantively on or around that date: facts, bonus terms, scores, state availability, or the substance of our assessment.

We do not refresh dates for cosmetic changes, design tweaks, or technical rebuilds. A newer date on a page means something on it actually changed.

What Triggers an Update

  • An operator changes its sweepstakes rules or terms of service
  • A bonus offer changes, expires, or is replaced
  • State availability changes — a legal development or an operator entering or leaving a state
  • Our monitoring detects drift between what a page says and what the operator currently publishes
  • A reader reports an error we verify — see the Corrections Policy

Scheduled Re-Verification

Beyond event-driven updates, we re-verify on a fixed schedule:

  • Bonus offers and coin amounts — re-verified approximately weekly
  • Redemption rules, game counts, and operator documents — reviewed approximately monthly
  • State availability — monitored daily against legal developments
  • Full review refresh — whenever an operator's published documents change materially

When a Fact Can No Longer Be Verified

Operators remove help articles, rewrite terms, and retire offers. When a fact we published can no longer be verified against a current primary source, we re-check it; if it still cannot be confirmed, we mark it as no longer verifiable or remove it. We do not leave unverifiable claims standing because they were true once.
