About Us & Editor Ryan Mitchell | BestSweepstakes.us.com

Who we are

BestSweepstakes.us.com is an independent review and comparison site focused on sweepstakes casinos available to U.S. players. We are not affiliated with, owned by, or sponsored by any sweepstakes casino operator.

The site was built by a small team of casino analysts and SEO researchers who saw a gap in the market for honest, data-driven sweepstakes casino reviews — without paid placements or biased rankings.

How we rank casinos

Every casino on our list is tested across four criteria:

Payout speed — We test actual redemption times, not advertised estimates.
Bonus value — We compare sign-up bonuses, daily login rewards, and first-purchase offers side by side.
Game library — Slot count, software providers, jackpot availability, and live casino options.
Player reviews — Trustpilot scores and verified user feedback are factored into every score.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click through and sign up at a casino, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. This does not influence our rankings. We do not accept payment for placement in our Top 10 list.
