We have unveiled a new online casino rating system, which will quantifiably rank online casinos, sweepstakes casinos, and social casinos by several key factors.

On February 1st, 2024, we launched a new 6-point rating system, a complete reimagining of sweepstakes casino reviews. It will offer insight into the way these casinos work, providing players with invaluable information so they can easily understand which gaming site is right for them.

Through easy-to-scan infographics, the score will both subjectively and objectively numerically rank each sweepstakes casino, allowing players to immediately understand the fine print behind bonuses, as well as site offerings.

You can find an example of this latest rating system in OddsSeeker’s Sportzino review and Stake.us review which are new sweepstakes casinos on the market.

With 25 years of experience in the casino gaming industry worldwide and 10 years advocating for players in the U.S., the OddsSeeker team has a wealth of knowledge of the overall customer experience at gaming sites.

OddsSeeker has conducted research in the social and sweepstakes casino industries since 2016, and forthe past four years, the entire focus of OddsSeeker has been to provide reviews and ratings of sweepstakes casinos.

"We want to help people understand the most important differences between sweepstakes casinos sothey can understand the benefits and risks of sites where they’ll potentially spend their money. We created this system to help people get more bang for their buck playing games online." - Alicia Butler, Editor

The new six-point review and rating criteria are based on the following:

Three points of criteria are subjective and based on data, and three points are based on an expert's subjective assessment.

  • Welcome Bonus - An objective score based on the amount of Free Sweeps Coins granted upon complete registration. (No Deposit Bonus)
