Trust at SweepCasinos

We’re here to help U.S. players find sweepstakes casinos that are legal, fair, and built to last. Our team tests every site hands-on and publishes what we find – good or bad. No paid ratings. And no behind-the-scenes deals.

What we stand for

Sweepstakes casinos can be a great way to play safely in the U.S. – but only if the platform is honest and properly run. We built SweepCasinos to make that easier to figure out.

Everything we publish is based on direct testing, legal review, and day-to-day platform use. If something doesn’t hold up, we say so. If a site improves, we update it.

How we rate

Every single casino review on SweepCasinos is written by someone who’s signed up, played games, tested withdrawals, and gone through support. We don’t rely on secondhand info or copy-paste reviews.

Here’s what we look at:

  • Payout reliability 
  • Bonus transparency and traps 
  • Game fairness (including RTP and win patterns) 
  • Legal status and ownership details 
  • Customer support speed and quality 
  • Responsible gambling options

Our independence: conflicts, partnerships & integrity

Trust isn’t just about how we write, it’s more about who we answer to.

At SweepCasinos, we keep a clear line between our editorial team and our business operations. No sweepstakes casino can pay to improve their rating, hide a bad review, or get removed from our blacklist. If a site wants better coverage, they need to earn it by improving their behavior toward players.

We also make it clear what happens if a partner lets players down. If a platform we work with starts delaying payouts, changing terms without notice, or failing our standards, they lose their badge—and their visibility.

We don’t do paid removals. We don’t sell placements. And we’ve made our approach public so you can see exactly where we stand.

What our seal of approval means

Our seal of approval isn’t a badge for any sweeps casino that asks for it – it has to be earned.

That means the operator:

  • Has passed all rating benchmarks 
  • Uses fair and upfront terms 
  • Supports responsible play 
  • Pays out winnings reliably 
  • Has been tested more than once, by different team members

Why we blacklist some sweepstakes casinos

A sweepstakes casino ends up on our blacklist when it breaks trust – repeatedly. That could mean:

  • Delaying or refusing legitimate withdrawals

  • Hiding changes to bonus terms

  • Breaking sweepstakes law or eligibility rules

  • Silencing players or dodging complaints

  • Offering fake customer support or unreachable contacts

We don’t blacklist based on one review, rather we look for certain patterns. Once a sweepstakes site is flagged, we monitor it for any meaningful change.

How we monitor platform behavior

Trust isn’t just about what a site does on day one, it’s how it behaves over time.

We track:

  • Payout slowdowns
  • Terms-of-service changes
  • Sudden bonus policy shifts
  • Ownership handovers
  • Community complaints and recurring issues

Who writes our reviews

Each review is written by someone on our editorial team, no ghostwriting, no outsourcing, no AI filler.

Our authors use test accounts, record payout results, and track policy changes over time. We also show you who they are.

Editorial policy

We write for players, not platforms.

Our editorial team doesn’t answer to casino reps or advertisers. No brand can change a score, remove a negative review, or buy their way off a list.

If a sweeps casino wants better coverage, they have to earn it the right way, and that is by improving how they treat players.

→ Read our editorial guidelines

Responsible gaming matters

We flag sites that ignore player safety. We recommend those that give players real control over how and when they play.

Trusted platforms offer:

  • Deposit and time limits

  • Reality checks and cooldowns

  • Self-exclusion options

  • Clear bonus terms and opt-outs

→ Responsible gaming guidelines

State legality: is it legal where you live?

Not every U.S. state allows sweepstakes casinos. Some ban the model outright or limit prize redemption.

We maintain a detailed map of state-by-state legality for players.

How we make money

SweepCasinos is free to use. We don’t charge users, and we don’t sell data.

We fund the site through affiliate partnerships with casinos that meet our trust standards. If you sign up through one of our links and end up enjoying the platform, we may earn a small commission. This comes at no extra cost to you.

We never let affiliate deals influence ratings, blacklist decisions, or editorial content. Many casinos we link to have no partnership with us at all – and some we actively warn against.
