Evaluated, Flagged, and Disqualified by the SweepCasinos Team
Some sweepstakes casinos pretend to follow the rules. Others barely even try.
Every platform listed below has been reviewed and rejected by our editorial and research team after revealing patterns of deception, neglect, or outright fraud.
We don’t flag platforms lightly. If you see a sweeps casino here, it has failed to meet even the basic standards required for safety and transparency.
| Site | 🔍 Failures documented by our team |
| Sunshine Sweeps | Refused withdrawals > $200; offered vague bonus “doubling” without terms |
| Paradise Sweepstakes | Website domain rotates monthly; license unverifiable |
| Casino Royale | Balance vanishes after idle periods; chat logs show evasive support |
| Magic City 777 | RTP analytics showed wide variance from advertised rates |
| Sweepstake Mobi | No clarity on coin equivalency or sweep eligibility |
| Lucky Charms Casino | Nested terms pages, each contradicting the next |
| Vegas X | Deposits processed quickly; payouts stalled indefinitely |
| WebSweeps | No contact listed; support only available via social media DMs |
| Riversweeps | Test accounts frozen after second-day wins |
| Milky Way | Abruptly closed live accounts; refused balance transfers |
| Scrooge Casino | Required reload before payout; buried that condition in 10pt text |
| Orion Stars | Provided invalid support addresses; no audit trail for rewards |
| Golden Dragon | Advertised state availability inaccurately; users locked out post-deposit |
Note:
These are not “bad experiences” – they’re structural failures. Every operator here has had multiple opportunities to resolve issues and has chosen not to.
We’ve seen certain sites restrict accounts within hours of a legitimate win. We’ve watched support logs where agents contradicted each other within minutes. These aren’t bugs – they’re literally baked in.
Renzo A.,
Content Editor
Every week, our content and data teams evaluate sweepstakes platforms using a structured, multi – point process.
We track and analyze:
We cross-reference our internal testing with public feedback and anonymized user submissions. When a platform breaks trust across multiple dimensions and fails to correct it, we add it to our blacklist.
For the full methodology, read our sweepstakes casino review process here.
Every sweeps casino on this list was reviewed and verified by our in-house editorial team – not bots, not outsourced freelancers.
Our writers test platforms, dig through terms, submit support tickets, and track user complaints to decide what belongs here.
Want to know who’s behind the research? See the team responsible for our list decisions.
We urge players to step back from any sweeps casino that shows two or more of these behaviors:
These issues point to instability – or active evasion of accountability.
All of the operators on our sweepstakes casino toplist have received our Seal of Approval because they meet much higher standards.
| Feature | What We Look For |
| Clear sweepstakes structure | Free play and coin conversion process explained before purchase options |
| Transparent bonus mechanics | No hidden thresholds or lockouts |
| Predictable payout timelines | Confirmed payouts across multiple user tests |
| Human, trackable support | Consistent, professional replies with case IDs |
| Confirmed legal registration | Active filings and compliance with state-specific rules |
Approval is not indefinite. Operators that fail to uphold these values in later audits are reevaluated – and if necessary, removed.
It’s rare, but it happens. Removal from this page requires the sweeps casino to:
We do not accept payment for removal. Reinstatement must be earned; through verified reform.
Most sweepstakes casino review sites gloss over misconduct. We don’t.
Sweepstakes casinos operate in a legal gray area – often without the oversight you’d expect from real-money gambling operators. That’s why the burden falls on us, and on you, to look closer.
This page is part of our commitment to accountability. Every operator listed here has been:
When platforms stay silent – or worsen – we flag them. Publicly.
Sweepstakes casinos operate across a complex patchwork of U.S. laws, and our responsibility is to ensure that readers understand their rights, risks, and obligations when engaging with these platforms.
We encourage all players to review our legal disclaimers before registering on any site listed – or blacklisted – on SweepCasinos.
These pages outline how we collect data, how we use it, and what you’re agreeing to by using our site. If you have questions, you can always contact our team.
A blacklisted sweepstakes casino is a platform we’ve tested and found to be unsafe for players. That may include refusing withdrawals, misleading bonus terms, or offering games that don’t behave fairly. We blacklist casinos so you can avoid platforms where you’re more likely to lose money unfairly- not just the game, but through policy traps and deliberate restrictions.
Start by checking whether it explains its sweepstakes model clearly (no-purchase-necessary route, legal currency mechanics), displays real business info, and offers transparent payout methods. Legitimate sweepstakes casinos respond to support requests, pay out consistently, and don’t push confusing bonus traps. For a shortcut, compare the site to our trusted casino list.
Yes, but only if it addresses the exact issues that got it blacklisted. That includes refunding users, publishing updated policies, and passing a full platform retest by our team. We do not accept payment for delisting. Reinstatement is rare and must be earned.
Immediately stop spending. Try to withdraw your balance – screenshot everything. If support won’t respond or rejects your request without reason, contact your payment provider to dispute the charge (if applicable). Then, submit a report to us so we can investigate further.
Yes – and we encourage it. We review every report seriously. Even one credible warning can trigger deeper testing. Use our casino report form to share details anonymously or with contact info if you’d like a follow-up.
