• Lack of ‘No Purchase Necessary’ Policy: This is very easy to check. Pretty much the sole legal requirement for US sweepstakes casino sites is to display that purchases are not necessary on the site. We look for it in the T&Cs but also elsewhere on the site. If they can’t meet this single basic requirement, run.
• Lack of Info on Site Owners: Much like the “No Purchase Necessary” policy, the owner of the site must be publicly displayed. Lack of this is a big red flag but lack of info on any alleged owners is also a red flag. When we do our research, we go through the web and sites like LinkedIn to verify the legitimacy of all sweeps casino owners.
• Weak Responsible Gaming Pages: You need easy access to Responsible Gameplay Tools. If you can’t set spending limits or limit the time you spend at sweepstakes sites, that’s a red flag because it indicates potentially predatory practices from the casino.
• Problematic Game Providers: Stick to reputable software studios, it’s simple. Providers like Pragmatic Play, BGaming – they are legit and verified. This means you can trust their RTP rates because they were audited by independent bodies. Also, if the info displayed at the sweeps site doesn’t match the data from the software studio’s site, that’s a red flag.
• Unrealistic Bonus Terms: The standard in the sweepstakes industry is a no deposit welcome bonus with 1x playthrough. The harder the terms, the bigger the red flag.
• Shady Banking: Legit sweepstakes casinos support mainstream banking options. Credit/debit cards, bank transfers, that’s what we want to see. PayPal is also fine but if you see stuff like the CashApp, tread carefully.
• Concerning Customer Reviews: Don’t join a sweepstakes casino without checking it on Trustpilot, Reddit, and other social casino forums. Now, it does happen that players can become hot-headed after a losing streak and leave 1-star reviews that aren’t really legit. But, it’s easy to spot those. So, articulated and substantiated criticisms carry much more weight.

• The Games You Play May Not Be Fair: RTP rates are never 100% at sweepstakes sites or traditional online casinos. But there’s no reason they should be below 95-96%. At shady casinos, the payout rates can get as low as 60%, so watch out! If you purchased SCs to play these games, that’s not good.
• You Won’t Be Protected: The more red flags outlined earlier in this article you spot, the stronger the odds are that when you reach out for help, there will be no one to assist you, and no one responsible for the lack of fair play.
• Your Data May Not Be Safe: If you made a purchase and your payment details are not safe, that’s a disaster. But even in free play mode, there is absolutely no reason to risk your data being leaked.
• The Site May Not Pay Out: We’ve seen countless reports of players saying that untrustworthy sweepstakes casinos aren’t paying out. This usually starts with the site delaying the payment and can culminate with their refusal to pay out for ridiculous reasons.
• Your Winnings Might Disappear: Not much different than the previous point because your winnings are gone but we’ve seen reports of shady sites removing funds from their users’ accounts after larger winnings for very questionable reasons, usually made up “policy violations.”

• Take the Money Out, But Slowly: Shady casinos can get really touchy about paying out bigger sums. So if you have SC in your account that is eligible for withdrawal, cash it out, but in multiple increments. A lot of unsafe sweeps casinos will actually pay out if you ask for smaller amounts and only get tricky with bigger sums. So start slowly.
• Only Play Games If You Need to Meet the Wagering Requirements: Your only chance to cash out your Sweeps Coins, if you bought them, is by meeting the wagering requirements, which is usually 1x. Once they’re met, start cashing out as outlined in the previous point.
• Contact Customer Support About Deleting Your Account: Reach out to the support team and ask for a complete deletion of your account. Insist that you want all of your data deleted.

Once your account is deleted, it’s a good idea to unsubscribe from the sweeps casino’s emails if you receive any afterwards. You want your email removed from any of their lists. Then, consider registering at reputable sweeps sites listed in this article.
