Methodology

The Turn On USA System

Six categories, fixed weights, real-money verification. No exceptions, no shortcuts.

Tested Like a Customer

Each brand gets identical treatment: a fresh account, a paid coin package, a full week of play across the lobby, and a Sweep Coin redemption carried through to an actual bank account. Brands that fail the redemption step are never rated at all.

Independence

Affiliate revenue funds the testing budget; it has no seat at the scoring table. Weights are public, weaknesses print next to strengths, and bonus data is re-verified monthly. Found an error? Report it and we’ll re-test the brand.

Play Responsibly

Sweepstakes gaming is entertainment, not income. If it stops feeling that way, take a break — and know that free, confidential support is available 24/7 from the National Council on Problem Gambling at 1-800-GAMBLER.
