Most sweepstakes casinos are legitimate businesses, but the category attracts bad actors. These red flags should make you stop.
Deal-breakers
- Any request to pay a fee, tax or deposit to release a prize
- No named operating company or contact details
- No free way to get coins
- Terms that are hidden, missing or contradictory
- Pressure to buy bigger packs to unlock a redemption
- Support that only replies through social media or private messages
- Copycat domains that imitate a well-known casino
Softer warning signs
- Long, repeated redemption delays
- Shifting play-through requirements
- A lot of negative first-hand reports about payouts
- Unrealistically large sign-up bonuses with tricky conditions
How to protect yourself
- Use our reviews and check independent reports.
- Start with small purchases, or none.
- Verify you are on the official domain.
- Use unique passwords and a payment method with buyer protection.
- Keep screenshots of your balance, requests and support messages.
What to do if something goes wrong
Contact support, keep records, and if you paid a scammer, tell your bank or card provider. You can also report the site to the FTC or your state attorney general.
