About SweepstakesCasinos

SweepstakesCasinos is an independent media and publishing site focused on one thing: helping US players understand the sweepstakes casino market. We don't operate a casino, and we're not a payment processor — we research, test, and write about the sites that do.

What we do

We maintain hands-on reviews of the major US sweepstakes casino brands, an editorial ranking built from a consistent scoring model, and an interactive map tracking legal status state by state. All three are kept up to date as operators change their offers and as state legislatures act on sweepstakes-model gaming.

How we score casinos

The overall score shown on every card and review is a blend: 70% our editorial score across 10 weighted criteria, 30% real, unfiltered visitor ratings. Nobody can buy a better number — placement, bonus size, and affiliate relationships have no bearing on either half. See the full methodology, including every criterion and how the two halves combine, on our How We Rank page.

Why we track legality separately

Sweepstakes casino law is genuinely in flux: several states passed new restrictions or outright bans in the past year alone, and more legislation is pending. A great review is only useful if the site is actually available — and operating on solid legal footing — where you live, which is why the legality map is a first-class part of this site, not a footnote.

A note on independence

Some of the "Play Now" links on this site may be affiliate links, meaning we could earn a commission if you sign up through them, at no extra cost to you. That never affects how a site is scored. See our Editorial Independence page for the full policy on what does and doesn't influence a review.
