Who we are
SweepstakesWiz.com is an independent review site for US-facing sweepstakes (social) casinos. Reviews are produced by a named editorial team led by Ilija Milosevic, an iGaming writer with 8+ years of experience. We do not publish anonymous or AI-invented "reviewer" personas.
How we research a brand
- We read each operator's published terms, bonus rules, and redemption policy directly from the source.
- We cross-check claims against multiple independent third-party sources and large public review datasets (e.g. Trustpilot), with the source and date attributed.
- Where a review includes first-party hands-on testing (registration, redemption timing, KYC), it is explicitly labelled as hands-on and dated. Where it is an editorial analysis of published terms and aggregated feedback, that is stated plainly.
Rating methodology
Scores are assigned against fixed, weighted criteria. The full breakdown lives on our How We Rate page; in summary we weigh:
Redemption & payouts
Speed, methods, minimums, and documented consistency of prize redemptions.
Terms & fairness
Clarity of sweepstakes rules, no-purchase path, and playthrough conditions.
Games & software
Library size, certified studios, and RNG/fairness signals.
Trust & safety
Operator transparency, security, support quality, and player feedback.
Bonus value
Real value of the welcome offer and ongoing rewards vs. the conditions.
Availability
US state eligibility and how transparently the operator communicates it.
Commercial terms (affiliate payouts) are not a scoring criterion and are not visible to the person assigning a score. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
What we will never do
No fabricated reviews, screenshots, or "verified player" quotes. No fake author personas. No "win real money" or "gambling" framing on sweepstakes content. No dateModified bumps without a substantive edit.
AI assistance disclosure
We may use AI tools to assist with research synthesis, drafting, and illustration. Any article that uses AI assistance or AI-generated imagery discloses it. A human editor reviews, fact-checks, and is accountable for every published page.
Corrections & updates
Found an error? Email us via the contact page with "Correction" in the subject. We investigate promptly, fix confirmed errors, and update the "Last updated" date only when the change is substantive.
Independence
Editorial decisions are made independently of commercial relationships. An operator cannot buy a higher rating, a removal of criticism, or a better placement.
