Q&A
Questions And Answers
What people ask us most, answered from the eighteen accounts we funded rather than from operator marketing.
The Basics
How it works- Is this gambling?
- Not legally. These are promotional sweepstakes, which is why free entry routes must exist and why no purchase is ever required. The games themselves are built like casino games.
- Can I win without spending?
- Yes. Every figure on our board came from free entries only. The cost is time: between zero and fifteen days to reach the redemption floor depending on the operator.
- Which coin can be redeemed?
- The second currency, usually SC. Gold Coins are play money and convert to nothing, which is why we score them at zero.
- Why are the advertised numbers so big?
- Because they count play currency. A one and a half million coin headline on our board carries seventy-five usable coins; another carries two.
Payouts
What we measured- How fast is a payout, really?
- Twenty-two hours at the quickest and seventy at the slowest, with a median of forty-two. Four operators settled inside a day.
- What is a redemption floor?
- The minimum redeemable balance before the cashier will act. Fifty coins at four operators on our board, seventy-five at twelve and one hundred at two.
- Did any operator refuse to pay?
- No. Eighteen filings, eighteen full payments, no held funds and no repeated document requests.
- Is a prize taxable?
- Redemptions can count as income in the United States. We are not tax advisers, so ask a professional in your state.
This Site
How we work- Are reviews on this site paid for?
- No. Position comes from the recorded figures. A signup through our link may pay us a commission and does not change the order.
- How often is the board re-tested?
- When an operator changes its package or its floor, and on a rolling basis otherwise. A changed figure means a re-test, not an edit.
- Can I suggest an operator?
- Yes, at contact@usaonlinesweepstakes.com. It goes on the board only after we have funded an account and filed a withdrawal ourselves.
