About Us
Our Mission
We provide independent, fact-based information about sweepstakes casinos operating in the United States. Our goal is to help readers understand how the sweepstakes casino model works, which states permit these platforms, and what players need to know about taxes, redemption processes, and responsible gambling.
The sweepstakes casino industry has grown rapidly in recent years, generating billions of dollars in revenue and attracting millions of players across the country. With this growth has come confusion about legality, regulation, and how these platforms differ from traditional online casinos. We exist to provide clarity.
What We Do
Our website offers comprehensive guides and educational content about sweepstakes casinos. We explain the dual-currency model that allows these platforms to operate in states where traditional online gambling remains prohibited. We track legislative changes, including recent bans in California and New York, and provide updates as the regulatory landscape evolves.
We cover topics including how to sign up and claim bonuses, how the redemption process works, tax obligations for winnings, and resources for those who may experience gambling-related problems. Our content is designed to inform, not to encourage gambling or promote specific platforms.
Our Approach
We believe in editorial independence. Our content is based on publicly available information from regulatory bodies, industry reports, academic research, and official government sources. We cite our sources so readers can verify information and conduct their own research.
We do not accept payment from sweepstakes casino operators in exchange for favorable coverage. Our reviews and analyses reflect our honest assessment based on available evidence. When we discuss specific platforms or their features, we do so for informational purposes only.
We acknowledge the ongoing debate about whether sweepstakes casinos should be classified as gambling and regulated accordingly. We present multiple perspectives on this issue, including the views of industry critics, regulators, and operators themselves, allowing readers to form their own conclusions.
Responsible Gambling
We take responsible gambling seriously. While sweepstakes casinos offer free-to-play options, the psychological mechanisms involved in gameplay can lead to problematic behavior for some individuals. We include information about warning signs of problem gambling, self-protection tools, and resources for those who need help.
The National Problem Gambling Helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-800-522-4700. We encourage anyone experiencing gambling-related difficulties to seek support.
