About Us

Who We Are

Sweepstakes (getyourbigon.com) is an independent comparison site focused entirely on sweepstakes casinos and social casinos available to players in the United States. We track newly launched platforms, review their welcome offers, and publish honest assessments so readers can make informed decisions about where to spend their time — and, optionally, their money.

We are not a sweepstakes casino ourselves. We do not issue Gold Coins, Sweepstakes Coins, or any virtual currency, and we do not process prize redemptions. Every platform listed on this site is a separate, independently operated service with its own terms, eligibility rules, and redemption conditions.

What We Cover and Why

Sweepstakes casinos occupy a distinct space in US online gaming. They use a promotional sweepstakes model rather than traditional real-money wagering, which means players typically receive two types of virtual currency: Gold Coins (or an equivalent) for entertainment play, and Sweepstakes Coins (or an equivalent) that can, subject to the platform's terms and your state's rules, be redeemed for prizes. Purchases are optional — legitimate platforms offer a no-purchase-necessary alternative method of entry (AMOE), often a mail-in request.

Because this model sits outside the framework of state-licensed online casinos, it is available to many players who live where traditional online casino gambling is not permitted. That creates a genuine information need: readers deserve clear, accurate guidance on how these platforms work, what they actually offer, and what the limitations are.

Our focus is specifically on new sweepstakes casinos — platforms that have launched recently or are gaining traction for the first time. Established names are well covered elsewhere. We concentrate on helping readers evaluate newer options before committing their time or making any optional coin purchases.

How We Research and Rate Platforms

Every listing on Sweepstakes is the result of desk research and editorial review. We do not claim to have deposited funds, redeemed prizes, or run any form of live testing. What we do is systematic: we review the operator's published terms and conditions, verify the stated welcome offer and its material conditions, assess the game library by category, check the stated payment and redemption methods, and confirm which states are excluded at the time of review.

Our editorial ratings reflect a consistent set of criteria applied to every platform we cover:

• Welcome offer quality — the headline bonus relative to its conditions, including any minimum purchase, wagering or playthrough requirements.
• Game variety — the breadth of slots, table games, and any live-dealer or specialty content.
• Sweepstakes Coin earning opportunities — daily free coins, login rewards, tournaments, and promotional events beyond the initial welcome offer.
• Redemption transparency — clarity of the minimum threshold, verification requirements, and processing timelines.
• State availability — how many US states the platform serves, and whether exclusions are clearly disclosed.
• Responsible play tools — whether the platform provides self-exclusion options, spending limits, or links to support resources.

No platform can buy a higher rating. Our commercial relationships are described below, and they do not determine rankings or scores.

Commercial Disclosure

Sweepstakes earns commission when readers follow links on this site and register with a listed platform. This is how we fund our research and keep the site free to use. The commission arrangement does not influence editorial ratings, ranking order, or the content of individual write-ups. Platforms ranked lower may pay commission at the same rate as those ranked higher. Where a platform we cannot recommend in good conscience approaches us, we decline or publish with appropriate caveats regardless of commercial considerations.

Offers listed on this site are verified at the time of publication but can change. Always check the current terms directly with the operator before registering or making any optional purchase.

The Platforms We Review

Our current coverage spans ten reviewed platforms, rated on the scale above. Here is a summary of how they compare at a glance:

Detailed write-ups for each platform — covering game range, coin-earning mechanics, redemption conditions, and excluded states — are available on the main listings pages of Sweepstakes.

Understanding Sweepstakes Casinos in the US

Because this is a comparison site rather than a legal resource, we want to be clear about the limits of what we publish. Sweepstakes casino availability varies by state, and operators regularly update the list of jurisdictions they serve. Some states have enacted laws or taken regulatory positions that restrict or prohibit these platforms; others have no specific rules at all. We note excluded states in each platform's write-up, but those lists change, and we cannot guarantee they are current at the exact moment you read them.

Age requirements also differ. Many platforms accept players who are 18 or older; some require players to be 21 or older, either across all states or in specific ones. Always confirm the age requirement with the operator before registering.

Prize redemptions — converting Sweepstakes Coins into real-world value — are subject to identity verification (KYC), minimum thresholds, processing times, and geographic restrictions. Redemptions may also be taxable under federal and state tax rules. We flag these conditions in each review, but the definitive terms are always those published by the operator. If you have questions about your specific tax situation, consult qualified tax guidance rather than relying on any summary we publish.

Responsible Play

Sweepstakes casino games are games of chance. Outcomes cannot be predicted or guaranteed, no matter the platform or the coin balance you hold. We encourage all readers to treat these platforms as entertainment, set personal limits on time and any optional spending, and use the responsible play tools that operators provide.

If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulties related to gaming or gambling, our responsible gambling guidance lists resources and support options available in the US.

Accuracy and Updates

Offers, terms, excluded states, and platform features change frequently in this industry. We review and update our listings on an ongoing basis, and the date shown at the top of each page reflects when it was last verified. Even so, the operator's own published terms always take precedence over anything we write. Read them before registering or making any optional purchase.
