Service

Who answers, who explains, who keeps you informed

Service is a small part of the score but a large part of how a casino feels. These are the standouts from our testing.

✦Quickest to answer

Mega Bonanza, McLuck and Spree answered a real question on chat within minutes. Sweeptastic and ThrillCoins took hours by email.

✦Clearest rules

McLuck, Sweeptastic and Spree publish terms short enough to read in one sitting. Fortune Coins needs a second read.

✦Smoothest delivery

Stake.us and Pulsz show every stage of a prize request. RealPrize and Chumba went quiet until the money arrived.

Prize delivery is how long our prize took. The welcome gift is what you receive on arrival, before any purchase.

Arriving

From registration to prize in four steps

About ten minutes the first time. The waiting comes at the end, and that is the part we time.

1Check the guest list

Fourteen states are not admitted. If yours is one of them, no casino here can seat you, so check first.

2Register

Your name, date of birth and email. The welcome gift arrives once you confirm your email or phone.

3Play with Sweepstakes Coins

Gold Coins are for the fun of it. Only Sweepstakes Coins can become a prize, so use those if a prize is the aim.

4Request your prize

Show ID once, reach the minimum, then request. Our reviews tell you how long each casino took to deliver.

Questions guests ask us

Is this real money gambling?
No. These are sweepstakes casinos. Gold Coins are play money and Sweepstakes Coins are free promotional coins that can become prizes. Because there is always a free way to receive them, the law treats it as a sweepstakes.
Do I ever have to buy anything?
No. Every casino on the list offers a welcome gift of free Sweepstakes Coins and adds more through daily bonuses, mail in requests and social media. Buying Gold Coins is optional and only for extra play.
How long does a prize take to arrive?
Between seven hours and three days at the casinos we tested. The fast delivery page sorts all eighteen by that figure.
Which casino looks after guests best?
For speed and ease, Mega Bonanza. For the most generous welcome and the widest floor, Stake.us, if you are 21 or over. Our list ranks all eighteen.
Why is my state not admitted?
Sweepstakes law is state law and fourteen states have declined. See the state by state page.
Who pays for this site?
Its owner, OMD AS. We do not earn affiliate commissions, our links carry no tracking and no casino can buy a better place on the list.
