How We Rate Every Site

Twelve scored categories, real accounts, real money and re-audits on a monthly to quarterly cycle. Here is the whole process.

The 12-Category Audit

Every score on this site rolls up from twelve individually weighted categories. Nothing is estimated and nothing is taken from a press kit.

1. SC Value

The real redeemable value of welcome and ongoing offers, ignoring GC noise.

2. Payout Speed

Actual timed redemptions, measured to the hour, per method.

3. Game Depth

Quality and variety of the lobby, weighted toward exclusive and jackpot titles.

4. Mobile Experience

Apps and mobile web tested on both platforms, including older devices.

5. Daily Rewards

Login ladders, wheels and drips measured over a full 30-day cycle.

6. Purchase Value

Coin package pricing and first-purchase boosts compared per dollar.

7. Terms Fairness

Playthrough, minimums and edge-case rules read line by line.

8. Support Quality

Response times and answer quality across chat and email, tested anonymously.

9. Verification Flow

How fast and painless KYC is, because it gates every redemption.

10. State Coverage

How many US states the operator serves and how clearly it says so.

11. Transparency

Ownership, licensing and published sweepstakes rules held to the light.

12. Track Record

Operating history, incident record and how the operator treated players when things broke.

Real Accounts, Real Money

We Sign Up

Every review starts with a fresh account created exactly the way you would create one.

We Purchase

We buy a standard coin package with our own funds to test the full paid experience.

We Redeem

We play through, request a redemption and start the stopwatch. The timing goes straight into the review.

Re-Audits Keep Scores Honest

Sweeps casinos change fast, so our scores cannot stand still. Top-ten sites are re-audited monthly and the rest of the board quarterly. When an operator improves or slips, the score moves and the review page shows the new verification date. If a site fails a re-audit badly enough, it comes off the board entirely.
