Reader Questions

The questions we get most often, with answers in plain English.

Are sweepstakes casinos legal in the US?

In most states, yes. They operate under federal sweepstakes law. Individual operators may restrict additional states — always check the brand’s Terms of Service before signing up.

Is it really free?

Yes. Sweep Coins are awarded at signup, by daily login, through social-media promotions, and by postal mail-in requests — no purchase ever required.

How do I redeem Sweep Coins?

Hit the SC minimum (typically 50 SC), request a redemption, complete KYC verification on first cash-out. After that, redemptions clear in 24-72 hours.

What age do I need to be?

18+ at minimum, 21+ in some states. Every operator verifies age at registration.

Are these reviews paid?

We may earn a commission when readers sign up via our links. The scoring methodology is independent and applied uniformly. We have removed brands from the list when their payout time slipped, regardless of affiliate status.

How often is the list updated?

Weekly. Bonuses, payout times, and operator status are re-tested every Friday. The issue date is on the home page.
