🏅 SweepCasinos Seal of Approval

The SweepCasinos seal of approval is our highest standard. It’s only awarded to sweepstakes casinos that pass rigorous, hands-on testing and meet strict benchmarks for safety, fairness, and long-term reliability.

This isn’t a badge operators can simply request or buy. It’s earned.

Why our seal matters

Sweepstakes casinos operate without traditional gambling regulation. That makes it hard to know who to trust. Our seal exists to solve that problem.

When you see the seal of approval, it means the casino has been:

  • Fully reviewed by our team 
  • Tested for gameplay fairness and bonus honesty 
  • Evaluated for legal clarity and ownership 
  • Proven to process payouts reliably over time 
  • Held to our editorial and ethical standards

How sweeps sites qualify for the seal

Our testing isn’t based on public promises or press kits. We create real accounts, deposit funds, play, submit support requests, and withdraw. If a platform fails at any point, it doesn’t qualify.

1.

Reputation and legal status

We verify:

  • Ownership and corporate structure

  • Jurisdictional compliance with U.S. sweepstakes law

  • Background of any parent or associated entities

  • Track record for site shutdowns or domain redirection

Sweepstakes casinos with hidden or shifting ownership are immediately disqualified.

2.

Promotions and bonus terms

Every platform has a bonus, but not every bonus is usable.

We test:

  • Whether welcome offers and free coin promotions actually work

  • The clarity of wagering requirements and expiry dates

  • How bonuses are positioned in terms (e.g. auto-applied or opt-in)

  • Any restrictions buried in the fine print

If a bonus misleads or traps the player, the seal is off the table.

3.

Games and software providers

We don’t just look at how many games a platform has—we check what they’re built on.

We look for:

  • Games provided by licensed developers

  • Proper randomization and fairness in outcomes

  • Published or provable RTP (return to player) averages

  • Presence of reputable providers like NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, or BGaming
4.

Player safety and data security

Operators must meet minimum security standards:

  • HTTPS and SSL across all pages

  • Clear cookie and privacy policies

  • Two-factor authentication where supported

  • Trusted processors for payments (PCI-compliant)

We also review privacy practices and verify what user data is collected and stored.

5.

Customer support quality

We test support firsthand using multiple scenarios.

We look for:

  • 24/7 live chat availability or near-immediate response

  • Accessible and functioning email or form-based support

  • A working help center or FAQ

  • Support agents who can answer specific questions—not just send templates

Sites that don’t respond or dodge real questions are disqualified.

6.

Payment methods and payout reliability

We test withdrawals ourselves.

To qualify, a sweepstakes casino must:

  • Support multiple payment methods (credit, e-wallet, crypto, bank transfer)

  • Deliver payouts within the timeframe listed on their site

  • Notify users about payout status or delays

  • Avoid hidden fees or minimums that block redemption
7.

Mobile and user experience

Usability matters. If a sweeps site is frustrating to navigate, clunky on mobile, or slow to load – it doesn’t make the cut.

We test:

  • Mobile compatibility across major devices

  • Game loading speed and performance

  • Ease of access to support, T&Cs, and redemption areas

  • Navigation that doesn’t mislead or hide critical info

What makes our seal different

Our seal stands out because it’s based on:

  • Hands-on testing, not scraped info

  • Ongoing performance, not just launch quality

  • Independent judgment, not affiliate influence

  • Real consequences – if a sweeps casino changes for the worse, we revoke the seal

We also operate a blacklist for sweepstakes casinos that have failed repeatedly and haven’t fixed it.

How the seal helps you

When you see our seal of approval, you can:

  • Trust that the platform works as advertised

  • Know bonuses and payout systems were tested

  • Skip the fine print – because we’ve already read it

  • Avoid the scams and underperformers crowding the space

It’s not a guarantee you’ll win, but it is a guarantee that the platform plays fair.

We revisit these websites regularly. If their performance slips, they lose the seal, and we say so publicly.

Final word

Our seal is not decoration. It’s an accountability tool, built to reward operators that do right by players and expose the ones that don’t.

If a platform has our seal, it’s because it earned it – on your behalf.
