How the Data Is Gathered and Verified
Every fact on a casino page has one of three sources: the casino's own site and terms, SweepsGirl's firsthand use, or members' opt-in records. This page says which is which, how often each is checked, and what the site will not publish.
Casino facts
Daily bonus amount, reset schedule, minimum redemption, payout methods, playthrough multiplier, operator and the states a casino excludes are read from the casino's site, its sweepstakes rules and its terms, and entered by hand into the casino database. There is no scraping and no feed from the casinos. Of the 107 casinos tracked, 102 publish a state list we have recorded; the rest are shown without one rather than with a guess.
- Daily bonus amounts are baselines. They are what a new account typically sees. Most casinos scale the bonus with login streak, VIP tier or targeted offers, so the figure is a floor, not a promise.
- Reset schedules are stored as the casino implements them (a fixed hour in UTC, a rolling 24 hours from your last collection, or a short interval) and shown in Eastern time, with daylight-saving handled automatically.
- State lists are the casino's own exclusions. "Not available in" means the casino's terms exclude the state; the site never says a casino is legal anywhere, because that is the casino's claim to make and the law changes.
- A missing fact is left blank. If the casino does not publish a minimum, the page has no minimum; it never prints a stand-in word or fills in a typical value.
Each casino page carries a "last verified" date: the most recent of the last database edit, the owner's firsthand notes, and the collection video. Readers report corrections by email and they are applied by hand, usually the same day.
Firsthand notes
Where a casino page describes where the bonus button is, how the amount scales, what verification asked for, or how long a payout took, that is SweepsGirl's own experience with an ordinary account, written in the first person and dated. It is one person's experience, not a sample, and the page says so.
Member data
- Payout times. Members log their own withdrawals in the tracker. Those who turn on sharing contribute the request date, receipt date, casino and method, anonymously. The site publishes only the median and the 25th–75th percentile range per casino and per method, and only once a casino has at least five shared withdrawals, so no individual can be identified. The payout times page and each casino page show these; where there are fewer than five, nothing is shown.
- Game return rates. Members log play sessions (starting balance, amount played through, ending balance). The tracker computes an observed return-to-player per game and casino. Sessions an admin has verified are weighted in and labelled "verified"; the rest are labelled "observed". Past results do not predict the next spin; the figure is published to help clear playthrough with less swing, not to win.
- Deals. Free SC links and codes are posted by SweepsGirl as they are found. Members vote whether each one worked for them; the counts are shown, individual votes are not. Deals reach the public feed six hours after posting and stay for 30 days.
What the site will not publish
- Earnings claims beyond "this is the baseline, and it varies."
- Any statement that a casino is legal in a state.
- Ratings or reviews that do not reflect visible, real member input. There are no star ratings on the site.
- A fact the data does not support. Blank beats guessed.
- Individual members' records, session data or bank information. Statement import runs entirely in the browser; the file is never uploaded.
Independence
The site earns from the subscription and from referral links, which are disclosed next to every link that is one. Referral status does not affect whether a casino is listed, the order it appears in, or anything the page says about it. See About for the full picture, and Contact to report a wrong number.
