Sweepstakes Scout USAWe fund it,then we file it
No comped balances, no press accounts, no scores written from a help page. A brand that has not paid us is not in the notes.
Adults only. Gold Coins never convert to cash. Free postal entry accepted at every brand listed. Helpline 1-800-522-4700.
Own supplies
Every account was opened the way a reader opens one and funded from our own budget. Comped balances, test accounts and press credentials are all refused, because an account the operator knows is being watched does not behave the way yours will.
Three crossings, middle note
One quick payout tells you about one day. We file three per brand across three separate weeks and publish the middle figure rather than the flattering one. When the middle figure is materially worse than the operator advertises, the note says so.
What carries weight
Payout speed counts most, because it is what goes wrong most often. Redeemable value comes next, counted as the promotional figure alone with the gold ignored. Then play-through, then the fence, then whether the rules match what the cashier does. Library size and interface polish count least, because a beautiful casino that pays slowly is still slow.
Independence
Some links pay us when a reader registers. The rate is agreed before testing and cannot be renegotiated afterwards. Several ranked brands pay nothing and hold the positions the testing gave them. No operator sees a note before publication and placement is not for sale.
Walking it again
Terms move. One-times becomes two-times, fences rise, cashiers slow down after a growth spurt. We re-fund and re-walk the full list twice a year and update individual notes sooner when a reader tells us something has shifted.
