Our Mission
Sweepstakes casinos are a legal way for US players to enjoy casino-style games in states where traditional online gambling is restricted. But the market moves fast — bonuses change daily, state laws shift, and new platforms launch every month.
sweepspicks cuts through the clutter. We research every platform from a player's perspective: testing sign-up flows, verifying bonus terms, checking withdrawal speeds, and monitoring customer support quality over time. Our goal is to give you an honest, up-to-date picture of which platforms are worth your time.
Who Writes These Reviews
Every review on this site is written and scored by a named member of our editorial team — not a generic "editorial team," and not the casinos themselves. Our editors set the standards and sign off on scores:
Ethan has covered US online gaming since 2016 and owns sweepspicks' editorial standards, signing off on every change to the rankings before it goes live.
Marcus has covered US sweepstakes casinos since 2023 and personally tests the full sign-up, bonus and gameplay flow on every platform before it's scored.
Dana handles the redemption and compliance side of every review — testing withdrawals and KYC, checking state availability, and verifying each AMOE route works.
Maya leads our responsible-gaming coverage: play limits, self-exclusion, and confirming every brand offers a real no-purchase route to play.
Nadia tracks welcome offers, no-deposit Sweeps Coins and daily rewards across every platform, re-verifying the numbers by hand each week.
How We Rate Casinos
Every casino in our rankings is given a Sweeps-Pick Score: the median of 13 review sites' published expert scores, adjusted by our own checks across seven categories. Each score reflects our editors' direct experience — not marketing materials or paid submissions.
Minimum redemption thresholds, cash methods (PayPal, ACH, gift cards), published processing timelines, and documented payout freezes, KYC loops or closures after wins.
Free SC at signup we can verify, daily rewards, AMOE value, and whether the terms agree with themselves. Paid offers never add points.
Total game count, live dealer, and in-house or original games.
State cease-and-desist and enforcement actions, class actions and verdicts that name the brand, a verifiable mail-in (AMOE) address, public sweepstakes rules, and a named operating entity.
Trustpilot, App Store and Google Play ratings blended by review volume, with penalties for a suspended Trustpilot score or a BBB F rating.
Native iOS and Android apps, an installable web app, or mobile web only.
Live chat availability and hours, and email support.
Affiliate Disclosure
Sweepspicks participates in affiliate programs with some of the sweepstakes casinos listed on this site. When you click a casino link and complete a sign-up, we may receive a referral commission from that casino.
This compensation does not influence our editorial rankings or scores.Our scoring methodology is applied uniformly to all casinos regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with them. The ranking follows the Sweeps-Pick Score — the industry median of 13 review sites, adjusted by our complaint-rate verification — with the affiliate-consensus average rank shown for reference and used to break ties. Commission rate plays no part.
Casinos with a Trustpilot score below 4.0 are not ranked, and reviewed casinos with no affiliate listings need a Trustpilot score above 4.0 — regardless of affiliate arrangements. Casinos that fail one of our gates are not ranked either; reviews of unranked casinos stay published.
This disclosure is required by the FTC (16 CFR Part 255) and is provided transparently so you can factor it into how you use our site.

Responsible Gaming Commitment
Sweepstakes casinos use virtual coins (Gold Coins) and sweepstakes entries (Sweep Coins) rather than real money wagers. No purchase is ever necessary to play — all platforms listed must offer a free mail-in entry option (AMOE).
Even so, these games are designed for entertainment and can become habit-forming. We recommend setting personal time and spending limits, and taking breaks regularly.
