Most sweepstakes coverage is a reprint of the operator welcome offer. That leaves out the only two things that decide whether an offer is worth your time: how much of it can become a prize, and how long the operator takes to pay.

We answer both for eighteen operators, using figures produced on free entries at accounts we funded ourselves.

Behind every casino

A funded account, a completed verification, a cleared floor, a filed withdrawal and a stopwatch. Four numbers come out; those four numbers set the score.

How the site is paid for

Affiliate commission on signups. It pays for the accounts. It does not buy a position, and nothing is shown to an operator before it goes live.

• Every figure comes from an account this desk funded
• Play currency is never counted as value
• No purchase is ever used to reach a floor
• Commission has no influence on scores or order
• A refused or partial payout removes an operator from the page
