Advertiser Disclosure

Written by Cole RushReviewed by Nicole MyslikUpdated October 8, 20266 min read

Learn how Sweepsy earns money, separates partnerships from editorial decisions, and keeps casino research free for readers.

We help readers make sense of sweepstakes and social casinos. Sweepsy is not a casino, and our content is not legal or financial advice. Our reviews, guides, comparisons, and tools are free to use and are intended to help you decide where to play.

Offers, laws, eligibility rules, and operator terms can change. Check the casino’s own terms before you sign up, make a purchase, or request a redemption.

What does Sweepsy do?

Our editorial team researches casino rules, promotions, entry methods, redemption requirements, and player-facing policies. We turn that research into plain-English guidance that explains both the useful features and the limitations readers should consider.

We aim to cover the sweepstakes and social-gaming market broadly rather than only the operators with which we have commercial relationships. If you believe an operator or important detail is missing, contact us so our team can review it.

How does Sweepsy make money?

Some links on Sweepsy are affiliate links. When a reader uses one of those links to visit a partner, register, or claim an eligible promotion, the operator may pay Sweepsy a referral fee. The fee is paid by the partner, not added as a separate charge to the reader by Sweepsy.

Commercial relationships can affect where an offer or link appears on a page. They do not determine our verdicts, scores, editorial recommendations, or news coverage. Partners do not approve or edit our reviews, and they cannot pay for a higher rating.

What does a partnership change?

A partnership may give us a way to link directly to an operator or present an offer. It does not prevent readers from viewing information about non-partner operators. We do not charge referral fees for every casino we mention, and we do not hide non-partners simply because they do not have a relationship with us.

What our commercial relationships change and what they do not.
QuestionHow we handle it
Does Sweepsy earn a fee from every casino mentioned?No. Compensation is tied to certain links and commercial relationships, not to every operator covered.
Can partners buy a positive review?No. Partners do not approve or edit reviews and cannot pay for better ratings or rankings.
Can I read about a non-partner casino?Yes. Commercial relationships do not gatekeep access to our editorial coverage.
Can a partnership affect placement?It may affect where an offer or link appears, but not the underlying editorial verdict or score.

How do editorial independence and conflicts work?

Our business and editorial functions are separate. Review decisions, ratings, and “best” lists come from the editorial side. When a potential conflict could affect a reader’s interpretation of a page, we disclose it on that page or in the surrounding disclosure information.

We try to give every operator a fair account of its strengths and weaknesses. A commercial relationship is not a substitute for evidence, and a non-partnership is not a reason to exclude an operator from consideration.

How are reviews checked and updated?

Before publication, our team checks key claims against the operator’s current rules and terms, including alternative methods of entry where applicable, eligibility, promotions, redemption requirements, and bonus conditions. We also review information that can change quickly, such as restricted locations, payment or redemption methods, and currency descriptions.

Core pages are revisited as information changes. Time-sensitive promotional information receives additional review when an active event or offer requires it. When we can verify a legal or material terms change, we update the affected content and show a “Last updated” label. Major revisions may also include a short explanation of what changed.

Because operator information changes, the casino’s own terms remain the final source for current eligibility and play conditions.

What safety and compliance checks do we consider?

When we evaluate an operator, we look for clear information about the basics a reader needs before playing:

  • Whether a legitimate alternative method of entry is described when applicable.
  • Minimum-age and geographic restrictions, including restricted states or other locations.
  • Redemption thresholds, methods, expected processing information, and identity-verification requirements.
  • A clear explanation of the difference between promotional play currencies, such as Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins or their equivalents.

We also point readers toward responsible-gaming resources and encourage them to understand the rules that apply where they live. Sweepstakes and social casinos are for entertainment. Use available account controls, including time or spending limits where offered, and seek support if play stops feeling manageable.

Who writes and reviews Sweepsy content?

Articles and reviews identify their author and editor where those details are supported. Writers follow editorial guidance, and editors check content for accuracy, clarity, and fairness before publication. The disclosure of a commercial link does not replace that review process.

Who owns Sweepsy and how can I contact the team?

Sweepsy is owned and operated by PTM. Contact us with questions about this disclosure, our partnerships, or how we evaluate casinos. You can also learn more about Sweepsy and the people behind our reviews on the About page.

Sweepsy content is provided for information and entertainment only. It is not legal or financial advice. Availability and rules vary by location, and our content is intended for adults aged 21 and over who are in a participating jurisdiction. Always review an operator’s terms before you play.

Questions readers ask about our disclosure

Does Sweepsy get paid when I click a casino link?
Some links are affiliate links, and Sweepsy may earn a referral fee if you take an eligible action after using one. Not every link or casino is necessarily part of a paid relationship.
Do advertisers control Sweepsy reviews?
No. Partners do not approve or edit our reviews, and they cannot pay for a better rating or ranking. A partnership may affect offer placement, but it does not set the editorial verdict.
Does Sweepsy hide casinos that are not partners?
No. We aim to provide broad coverage, including information about operators that do not have a commercial relationship with us. We may warn readers about an operator when we identify a serious safety or trust concern, but that decision is editorial.
Is Sweepsy legal advice?
No. Sweepsy provides general information for entertainment and research. Laws, eligibility, and operator terms vary by location, so check current local requirements and the operator’s rules before playing.
How often does Sweepsy update its reviews?
We revisit core content and update it when we can verify changes to promotions, terms, eligibility, redemption information, or legal conditions. Pages show a last-updated date when that field is available, but readers should still confirm current details with the operator.
How do I report an error or ask about a partnership?
Contact the Sweepsy team with the page URL and the detail you want us to check. Questions about this disclosure, partnerships, or our review process can be sent through our contact channel.
