Our Independence: Conflicts, Partnerships & Integrity

At SweepCasinos, we’ve made a decision: your trust comes first. Always.

Everything we write is based on first-hand testing and editorial judgment, not on who pays. This page lays out exactly how we handle conflicts, keep commercial influence out of our reviews, and hold ourselves accountable when platforms break trust.

What independence means

SweepCasinos doesn’t accept payment for positive coverage. We don’t take money to boost rankings, hide complaints, or issue trust badges.

If a sweeps casino wants to appear on our site, it needs to earn that spot.

Our editorial team:

  • Reviews platforms independently, with no influence from affiliate or commercial teams
  • Chooses which sites to test and when
  • Decides what to publish, without approval from outside parties

This separation isn’t a claim. It’s how we work every day.

Content and business: separate by design

We’ve built clear internal walls:

  • Reviewers don’t know which platforms we partner with
  • Our commercial team doesn’t shape what content gets published
  • Ratings and conclusions are driven by research, not revenue

Once a site enters our review queue, it’s treated the same as any other, regardless of whether there’s an affiliate relationship or not.

When an operator fall short

Some platforms start strong and lose their way. When that happens, we:

  • Re-check the platform under stricter conditions
  • Remove the seal of approval (if granted)
  • Flag serious issues publicly
  • Add the site to our blacklist if needed

If a trusted site blocks payouts, hides bonus terms, or stops responding to users, we pull our recommendation without delay.

Our approach to partnerships

Yes, we use affiliate links. If you click a link and join a platform we recommend, we may earn a commission. But:

  • We review sites whether we’re partnered or not
  • We publish negative reviews about affiliate partners
  • We blacklist sweeps casinos that breach trust, even if we lose revenue

→ See how we make money as affiliates

We disclose this because transparency should be the norm.

What we won’t do

Some offers sound tempting. We’ve been asked to:

  • Include sites in top lists for a fee
  • Remove blacklisting in exchange for payment
  • Let operators preview or edit their own reviews

We’ve declined every time. If we say a platform is trustworthy, it’s because we tested it, not because they paid for it.

Final word

We don’t answer to sweepstakes casino operators. We answer to players.

We know that if we ever lose your trust, we’ve lost everything. That’s why we work the way we do – and why we’ll keep holding the line.
