About Us
List of Sweepstakes Casinos was built for one specific job: helping US players work out which sweepstakes casinos are worth their time. We're not a casino, we don't run games, and we don't take deposits. We're an independent research and comparison resource that tracks the sweepstakes and social casino space and reports what we find in plain terms.
What we actually do
Sweepstakes casinos sit in a different legal category from traditional online gambling. Instead of wagering cash, players use two forms of virtual currency — typically called something like Gold Coins and Sweepstakes Coins, depending on the operator. Gold Coins are used for casual, no-stakes play. Sweepstakes Coins, often earned free through daily rewards, promotions, or a no-purchase entry method, can potentially be redeemed for cash prizes once a player meets an operator's minimum threshold and completes identity verification. We built this site to explain that model clearly and to compare operators on the details that matter: the size and terms of welcome offers, the range of games on offer, redemption thresholds, and how each platform handles verification and payouts.
How we assess the platforms we list
Our rankings are based on published operator terms, game libraries, promotional structures, and general market reputation at the time of research. We look at:
- The headline welcome offer and the conditions attached to it — minimum age, eligible states, and any wagering or play-through requirements
- The breadth of the game library, including slots, table games, and any live-dealer style options
- How Sweepstakes Coins are earned, including daily login rewards, loyalty perks, and seasonal promotions
- What redemption looks like in practice — thresholds, verification steps, and the payment or gift-card methods on offer
- General transparency around terms and conditions
Commission may be earned when a reader signs up through a link on this site, but that relationship never decides an operator's position on our list. Editorial ratings reflect our own research, not payment.
Why we cover the operators we do
Every operator named on freecotcharts.com — including options like Crown Coins, SplashCoins, Casino.Click, and the others listed on our homepage — has been included because it operates a recognisable sweepstakes model with a genuine free entry route. We don't test games ourselves or claim to have deposited, played, or withdrawn from any platform; our reviews are drawn from researching public terms, promotional pages, and available player information. We update pages as terms change, but readers should always confirm current details — welcome offers, eligible states, and redemption rules — directly with the operator before signing up, since sweepstakes casino terms shift frequently.
What this site is not
We're not a legal advisory service. Sweepstakes casino availability varies by state, and some jurisdictions restrict or prohibit this model entirely — operators themselves often decide which states they'll serve based on their own legal assessment. We don't tell readers that a given site is definitely legal to use where they live; instead, we encourage checking an operator's terms and applicable state law directly. We also don't promise winnings of any kind. Casino-style games involve chance, and no coin package, bonus, or loyalty tier changes that.
A note on age and responsible play
The content on freecotcharts.com is written for adults of legal age — most operators require players to be at least 18, though some set the bar at 21 depending on the platform or the state. If you or someone you know is struggling with gaming habits, our Responsible Gambling page has resources worth reading before you sign up anywhere.
Questions, corrections, or feedback
If you spot outdated information, a state eligibility change, or anything that doesn't match an operator's current terms, we want to know. You can reach us through our Contact Us page. Our full Terms and Conditions set out how this site operates and how we handle the information we publish.
