About Us

New Sweepstakes Casinos is an independent site that tracks and compares sweepstakes casinos for players across the US. We're not a casino, we don't run games, and we don't take deposits. What we do is research operators, follow the sweepstakes model closely, and put together a clear, current list of sweepstakes casinos so you can see what's out there before you sign up anywhere.

What We Actually Do

Sweepstakes casinos work differently from a regulated online casino, and that difference sits at the centre of everything we write. These platforms use a dual-currency promotional sweepstakes model rather than traditional real-money wagering: Gold Coins are typically used for play-for-fun games with no cash value, while Sweepstakes Coins (sometimes called Sweeps Coins or SC) can, in some circumstances, be redeemed for prizes once an operator's terms and any verification steps are satisfied. We explain how that model works on each platform we cover, rather than assuming every reader already knows the mechanics.

We look at welcome offers, daily login rewards, game libraries, loyalty perks, and the redemption process — then rank platforms editorially against each other. Our ratings reflect research into these factors, not a guarantee of outcomes. Casino-style games involve chance, and no site can promise winnings, fast cash-outs, or better odds than another.

How We Assess the Platforms We Cover

Every operator on our list is measured against the same set of practical criteria:

• Welcome and ongoing offers — what's advertised, and the conditions attached to it, such as minimum requirements or coin allocations
• Game range — the mix of slots, table games and other formats available in Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin play
• Redemption process — what a platform states about verification, minimum thresholds and how Sweepstakes Coins convert to prizes
• No-purchase participation — whether the platform makes clear that playing and entering is possible without buying coin packages, as required of legitimate sweepstakes promotions
• State availability — which states an operator serves, since sweepstakes casino legality is decided state by state rather than nationally

Commission from our affiliate partnerships never decides where an operator lands in our rankings or comparison tables. Position on this site reflects our editorial assessment of the criteria above, not payment.

A Look at How the Top-Listed Platforms Compare

Our current list includes operators such as Crown Coins, SplashCoins, Casino.Click, Free Spins, Lucky.me, Crash Duel, Spree, Spinblitz, Dorados and McLuck. Each is reviewed on its own page in more depth, but here's a snapshot of how the headline welcome offers differ:

Crown Coins sits at the top of our list largely on the strength of its welcome bonus and the breadth of research behind it, though as with every platform here, the specific coin values and any minimum spend or wagering conditions are set by the operator and should be checked directly against its terms before signing up. SplashCoins and Casino.Click follow closely, both offering strong headline numbers that come with their own redemption and eligibility conditions. No platform on our list is free of limitations — coin totals, spins, and bundle contents vary by state and by promotion, and terms change more often than marketing pages suggest.

Why State Laws Matter Here

Unlike licensed online casinos, sweepstakes casinos aren't governed by a single national framework. Availability is decided state by state, and operators frequently choose for themselves which states they'll serve based on legal risk in that jurisdiction. Some states permit most sweepstakes operators to run freely; others have restricted or taken enforcement action against them. Because these positions shift, we treat every state list on this site as a snapshot rather than a permanent fact, and we encourage readers to confirm current eligibility directly with an operator before creating an account. Nothing on this site should be read as legal advice about whether a specific platform is permitted for you.

What "No Purchase Necessary" Means in Practice

A core feature of legitimate sweepstakes casinos is that participation doesn't require spending money. Reputable operators typically offer a free path to Sweepstakes Coins — through daily login rewards, social media giveaways, or a mail-in alternative method of entry — alongside the option to purchase Gold Coin packages that may include bonus Sweeps Coins. We flag on relevant pages where this free entry route is described by an operator, and we never suggest that buying coins is the only way to take part.

Age Requirements and Consumer Protections

Sweepstakes casinos are built for adults. Most platforms require players to be at least 18, and some set a minimum age of 21, either across the board or in specific states. We do not write for, or address, anyone under the legal age set by an operator's terms. Readers who want tools and support around their own play can find general guidance on our Responsible Gambling page.

Where Our Revenue Comes From

commoditybasis.com earns money through affiliate relationships with some of the platforms we cover — if you follow a link here and create an account, we may receive a commission. That relationship never buys a better rating or a higher position on our list. Ratings are set by our own research into offers, game libraries and redemption terms, and we say so plainly when a platform has a real drawback, including the ones ranked highest.

Get in Touch

Sweepstakes casino terms, state availability and welcome offers change often, and we work to keep this site current, but operators can update their own terms at any time.
