About

Built for Players, Not Casinos

sweepspicks is an independent review platform helping US players find legitimate sweepstakes casinos, understand the rules, and claim the best bonuses — without the noise.

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.

How We Rate Casinos

Every casino in our rankings is scored across six categories. Each score reflects our editors' direct experience — not marketing materials or paid submissions.

Bonuses & Promotions
25%

Welcome bonus size, daily login rewards, AMOE options, purchase boost percentages, and VIP program value. We verify all bonus terms directly.

Redemptions & Payouts
20%

Minimum withdrawal thresholds, supported payment methods (PayPal, ACH, gift cards), payout processing time, and KYC verification experience.

Game Selection
20%

Total game count, variety across slots/table/live dealer/poker, software quality, mobile compatibility, and load performance.

Trust & Safety
20%

Operating entity legitimacy, terms of service fairness, responsible gaming tools (self-exclusion, spend limits), and verified player complaint resolution.

User Experience
10%

Sign-up friction, mobile app quality, site navigation clarity, and lobby organization.

Customer Support
5%

Live chat availability and response time, email support quality, and help center comprehensiveness.

Re-review schedule:All casino ratings are reviewed quarterly or whenever a platform announces significant changes to bonuses, terms, or ownership. Ratings reflect conditions at the time of the most recent review.

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. Casinos are ranked by their score — not by commission rate.

If a casino does not meet our minimum quality threshold (4.0/5.0 score), we will not list it regardless of affiliate arrangements.

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.

Editorial Independence

No Paid Reviews
Casinos cannot pay to appear in our rankings or receive a higher score.
Independent Testing
We create accounts and test features ourselves before publishing any review.
Consistent Criteria
The same six-category rubric is applied to every casino we evaluate.

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.
