Our Rating Rules
Four measures, published weights, and accounts we paid for ourselves. No brand has ever seen a rating before it went live.
The Four Measures
- Redeemable value against the floor, 40%. The Sweeps Coin share of the pack, read against the balance needed to redeem. A large pack behind a high floor scores below a modest pack that clears its own bar.
- Payout speed, 30%. Hours from filing our own withdrawal to money in hand.
- Free-play viability, 20%. Whether a non-paying account can reach the floor in a sensible stretch, and how many days it took us.
- Account experience, 10%. Verification friction, support speed, app stability and honesty of the promotional copy.
What Gets No Marks
Game counts, because two thousand near-identical slots is not an advantage. Visual design, because taste is not measurable. Gold Coin volume, because it costs an operator nothing and can never be redeemed.
Money and disclosure
Accounts are opened in our own names and any coin package we test is bought with our own money. Some brands pay us commission when a reader signs up; that never buys a star. Where a paying partner is slower to pay out than a non-paying site, the non-paying site ranks above it, and you can see that in the board.
When a rating changes
Quarterly retests, or immediately when something material moves. A floor rise, a doubled payout clock or a vanished free entry route each cost marks the day we confirm them.
