Return to player (RTP) is the one number that tells you how much a sweepstakes casino’s games are actually built to return to players over time, not how they’re marketed. We compared verified RTP data across the sweepstakes casinos we test regularly to find which ones consistently run higher-paying games, and which single games hit the very top of the scale.
This isn’t a redemption speed ranking. If you’re chasing fast payouts instead of high-paying games, our best payout sweepstakes casinos page covers that separately.
Which sweepstakes casino pays the most?
Crown Coins has the highest average RTP in our testing, at 97.17% across the games we’ve verified there. But the casino with the highest average RTP isn’t necessarily the one with the single highest-paying game, and neither of those is the same as the casino with the strongest overall selection of high-RTP titles. Book of 99, a Relax Gaming slot at High 5 Casino, has the highest individual RTP we’ve verified, at 99%.
- Highest average RTP: Crown Coins — 97.17% across the games we’ve tested there
- Highest RTP game: High 5 Casino — Book of 99 at 99%
- Most games at 96%+: Every casino we have game-level data for clears 96% on nearly all of its known titles.
- Most games at 97%+: Splash Coins, Dorados, and Sweet Sweeps currently lead with three confirmed titles each at 97%+, but our per-casino samples range from 3 to 25 known games depending on the source, so this isn’t a clean apples-to-apples comparison
RTP measures the theoretical percentage a game returns over time. It has nothing to do with how quickly a casino pays out a redemption once you’ve won. If you’re comparing sweepstakes casinos on speed instead of payout rate, see our separate fastest paying sweepstakes casinos guide.
Sweepstakes casinos with the highest RTP
| Casino | Highest RTP game | Highest RTP | Avg. RTP of games tested | Games tested | Source | Best for |

Our top high-paying sweepstakes casinos
These rankings are built around verified RTP, not signup bonuses or library size. A casino only lands here because its numbers back it up.
1. Crown Coins Casino

Crown Coins tested at the highest average RTP we’ve recorded on any sweepstakes casino: 97.17%, making it one of our top picks on this page. Spinning Crowns, a Crown Coins exclusive, is the highest-RTP game we’ve verified there, testing up to 97.17%. Third-party titles like Epic Joker (Relax Gaming, 97%) and Sun of Ra (RubyPlay, 96.9%) round out the high end.
One caveat worth flagging: Crown Coins’ own in-house originals, the games it highlights most in its promotional rotation, actually test lower. Crown Coins Ultra Buffalo comes in at 94.5%, The Godfather: 3 Pillars of Power at 94.23%, and Ninja Crash at 94%. The high average comes from the third-party library, not the exclusives. We’ve individually verified RTP for eight Crown Coins titles total; three clear 96%, and two of those (Spinning Crowns, Epic Joker) clear 97%.
2. LoneStar Casino

LoneStar tested to a 95.98% average RTP, the lowest of the five Sweepsy-verified averages on this page but still comfortably above the roughly 96% baseline most online slots are built around, and the library leans on blue-chip providers rather than obscure exclusives. NetEnt, Betsoft, and Red Tiger titles carry the highest-paying end of the lineup. The Slotfather Book of Wins and Finn and the Candy Spin both test at 96.6%, and Starburst XXXtreme runs up to 96.4%.
817 games is a mid-sized library, and LoneStar doesn’t publish RTP figures inside its own game rules the way some competitors do, so we cross-checked against provider-published data where the in-game panel came up short. We’ve individually verified RTP for three LoneStar titles so far, all above 96%, none yet at 97%+; LoneStar hasn’t published a full tested-library count. If you want a dependable, mostly-NetEnt-and-Betsoft lineup sitting well above average, it’s a solid pick.
3. Splash Coins Casino

Splash Coins tested to a 96.85% average RTP, and its highest-RTP game found is Book of 99 by Relax Gaming at a 99% RTP, tied for the single highest figure we’ve verified anywhere in the sweepstakes space (see the flag above on the High 5 Casino attribution). Great Western Express 2 tests at 98%, and The Great Pigsby at 96.55%, both also from Relax Gaming, which is doing a lot of the heavy lifting for Splash Coins’ numbers.
Splash Coins also features Epic Joker (97%) and Inferno Fortune Power Hit (96%) as standout picks, both a notch below the Relax Gaming lineup but still comfortably in high-RTP territory. We’ve individually verified RTP for five Splash Coins titles total; all five clear 96%, and three (Book of 99, Great Western Express 2, Epic Joker) clear 97%. Between the average and the ceiling, this is one of the strongest all-around RTP profiles on this page.
4. Dorados Casino

Dorados tested to a 96.23% average RTP across a much larger library than the other casinos here, 3,500+ games from more than 50 providers. Size doesn’t always mean quality. Dorados doesn’t carry some of the true top-tier RTP titles from its bigger-name providers, so you won’t find games like 1429 Uncharted Seas here. But the library still holds real high-RTP options.
The highest-RTP game we found at Dorados is Plinko Dare 2 Win from Hacksaw Gaming, testing at 98.98%, one of the highest RTP figures we’ve confirmed among the casinos in this section. Max 2 Megaways (Big Time Gaming, 96.64%), Le Bandit (Hacksaw Gaming, 96.34%), and Gonzo’s Quest II (NetEnt, 96.06%) all clear the 96% mark too. We’ve individually verified RTP for eight Dorados titles total; seven clear 96%, and three (Plinko Dare 2 Win, Safari Sam, At the Copa) clear 97%.
5. Legendz Casino

Legendz tested to a 96.37% average RTP, the second-highest of any casino we’ve verified on this page behind Crown Coins. Star Trek: The Next Generation is its highest-RTP game found, testing at 96.6%, with Cyborg City (96.21%) and The Wildwood Curse (96.3%) close behind, all backed by providers like Hacksaw Gaming, Evoplay, and Betsoft rather than unverified in-house builds.
Legendz also carries no legitimacy flags in Sweepsy’s own testing, unlike Go Go Gold, and pairs its high RTP average with some of the fastest redemptions on the market, a two-hour guarantee that’s covered in detail on our payout speed page. We’ve individually verified RTP for three Legendz titles, all above 96%, none yet at 97%+, the same small-sample caveat as LoneStar above. For a page built around trustworthy, verified RTP data, it’s a cleaner fit than the operator the brief originally listed.

What is considered a good payout rate?
Most of the games on this page’s tables sit in the high or elite tiers, which is the point: we’re only surfacing casinos and games that clear the 95% mark. Our testing treats this as the baseline for a genuinely high-paying game.
| RTP range | How we classify it |
|---|---|
| Below 90% | Poor |
| 90% – 93.9% | Below average |
| 94% – 95.9% | Average |
| 96% – 97.9% | High |
| 98%+ | Elite |
How RTP affects your chances of winning
RTP is a long-run average, not a promise for any single session. A 98% RTP game can still put together a cold streak that eats through your balance in twenty spins, and a 92% RTP game can hand you a lucky run that outperforms it on any given day. The percentage only becomes meaningful over a large enough number of spins, the kind of volume an individual player rarely reaches in one sitting.
What RTP does tell you is how a game will behave over time. Choosing higher-RTP games shifts the odds in your favor across many sessions, which matters most when you’re trying to stretch a Sweeps Coin balance through a playthrough requirement rather than chasing one big win.
How Horseplay payouts differ from slot RTP
Horseplay has slot-style games, but its payout model differs from the sweepstakes slots in the tables above. A conventional slot RTP describes the game’s programmed theoretical return over a large number of spins. At Horseplay, the real-money result is determined by live horse races before the casino-style game reveals the outcome.
A provider RTP attached to a familiar-looking game is therefore not a like-for-like measure of the return a Horseplay player should expect. Horseplay should be treated separately when comparing high-RTP slots because a live racing result—not a conventional slot RNG—determines the underlying payout.
If published RTP is your priority, use the verified games in our tables above. To understand Horseplay’s alternative real-money model, read our Horseplay review or real-money online gaming guide.
RTP vs. volatility
Two games can carry nearly identical RTPs and still feel completely different to play. That difference comes down to volatility, which measures how often a game pays and how big those payouts tend to be. A low-volatility game with a 96% RTP delivers small, frequent wins that keep your balance steady. A high-volatility game at the same 96% RTP might go long stretches without paying anything before landing a much larger hit.
Neither approach is wrong, but they suit different goals. If you’re working through a playthrough requirement and want to avoid big swings, a lower-volatility, high-RTP game is the safer combination. If you’re chasing a bigger single win and can tolerate dry spells, a higher-volatility game might be worth the trade-off even at a similar RTP.
How we find and verify sweepstakes casino RTP
We prioritize checking each casino’s most-played slots, the titles it promotes most heavily in its own lobby and bonus rotation, and any game specifically marketed for a high payout rate, then expand from there as time allows.
We pull RTP figures directly from each game’s in-game rules or paytable panel wherever a casino makes that information available. Where a game doesn’t display RTP in-app, we cross-check against the provider’s own published documentation, since RTP is typically fixed at the game level by the studio that built it, not the casino hosting it.
When neither source is available, as was the case at Go Go Gold, we ask the operator directly and report exactly what they tell us, including when the answer doesn’t hold up. For six casinos on this page where Sweepsy hasn’t independently tested a large enough sample to publish our own average, we collect third-party data and provide a range based on what we find.
Some providers ship configurable RTP versions of the same title, which means the exact same game can legitimately run at a different RTP depending on which casino licensed it and which configuration they chose. When we find that, we list both figures rather than picking one.
Average RTP per casino is calculated across the specific games we’ve individually verified at that operator, not the full game library, since most sweepstakes casinos don’t publish RTP for every title they host.
FAQs
Crown Coins has the highest average RTP we’ve verified, at 97.17% across the games we’ve tested there.
In RTP terms, Crown Coins leads on average. If you’re asking about redemption speed instead, that’s a different question, covered on our fastest paying sweepstakes casinos page.
Book of 99 by Relax Gaming, at a 99% RTP. We’ve verified it at High 5 Casino and Splash Coins.
We treat 96% and above as high, with 98%+ as the top tier. The average online slot runs close to 96%, so anything meaningfully below that is worth a second look before you play.
Yes. It’s roughly in line with the average online slot and clears the bar we use for “high RTP” throughout this guide.
Yes. Book of 99 by Relax Gaming tests at 99%, the highest figure we’ve verified anywhere in the sweepstakes space.
Yes. Providers sometimes ship configurable RTP versions of the same title, and different casinos can license different configurations. We list both figures when we find a genuine difference rather than assuming an error.
Some do. Go Go Gold is one example: our review there found the operator running a lower-than-standard RTP configuration on at least one title (Snoop Dogg Dollars), and declining to disclose RTP figures for most of its library.
Not on any single spin. RTP is a long-run average, not a per-session guarantee. Volatility affects how streaky a game feels far more than RTP does.
RTP measures how much a game is built to pay back over time. Payout speed measures how fast a casino processes your redemption once you’ve won. A casino can be strong on one and weak on the other. If you’re specifically looking for fast redemptions, see our separate payout speed guide.
