Methodology

Five measurements, fixed weights

Each casino is tested the same way and weighted the same way. Nothing a casino says about itself changes the rating.

30%Payout time

Measured from redemption request to money received, in our own account.

25%Free package

Free Sweepstakes Coins on registration, before any purchase.

20%Redemption terms

Minimum redemption and wagering on the free coins.

15%Games and app

Slot count, table games, load time on a mid range phone.

10%Support

Reply time to a real question and clarity of the published rules.

Process

Registration to redemption in four steps

About ten minutes the first time. The waiting is at the end, which is the part we measure.

1Confirm your state

Fourteen states are excluded. Check the list before you register; casinos verify location at sign up and at redemption.

2Register

Legal name, date of birth, email. The free package is credited once email or phone is confirmed.

3Use Sweepstakes Coins

Gold Coins have no cash value. Only Sweepstakes Coins can be redeemed, so play in that mode if a prize is the aim.

4Redeem

One identity check, then request a prize once you reach the minimum. Our ratings record how long each casino took.

Legal states

Permitted in 36 states, excluded in 14

Sweepstakes casinos operate under state promotion law. The short version is below; the full table is one click away.

FAQ

Questions we are asked most

What exactly is rated?
Five measurements: payout time, free package, redemption terms, games and app, and support. Each is taken from our own account and weighted as shown on the methodology page.
Are these real money casinos?
No. They are sweepstakes casinos, which are free to play promotions under US law. Gold Coins are play money; Sweepstakes Coins are free promotional coins that can be redeemed for prizes.
Is a purchase required?
Never. Every rated casino issues free Sweepstakes Coins at registration and through daily bonuses, mail in requests and social media. Buying Gold Coins is optional.
How current are the numbers?
Every casino is retested at the start of each month. The date is shown in the footer and on each review.
Who funds the site?
The owner, OMD AS. We do not earn affiliate commissions, our links carry no tracking and no casino can influence a rating.
Why do payout times differ so much?
Mostly verification and queue length. Casinos that verify identity at registration pay faster later. The payout times page sorts all 18 by our measured result.
