Order comes from each casino's published terms as recorded in our data, never from payment. Casinos that do not publish the figure are listed last. How we rate

How these picks work

There is no single best sweepstakes casino; there is a best one for what you care about. Each category above names the casino that leads on one published number from our data, and shows that number. The full list is ordered by availability: the fewest excluded states first.

Before you pick

Check your state. A casino you cannot use is not the best for you. Use the 50-state tracker.
Read the catch. Every row shows the main downside; the full list is in each review.
Weigh the playthrough. 1x is common; a higher requirement makes a bonus worth less. See the playthrough guide.

Nothing here is paid placement. See How we rate.

Questions people ask

What is the best sweepstakes casino?

It depends on what you need. We pick by category using published numbers, such as the fewest excluded states or the lowest minimum redemption, and show the number behind each pick.

Are these rankings paid?

No. The order comes from data, never from payment.
