Terms and Conditions
These terms govern your use of keepitlocalnd.org, published as Best Sweeps Casinos. Read them before you rely on anything here. In short: we publish research and comparisons about sweepstakes casinos and social casinos, we may earn commission when you sign up with an operator we list, and the binding rules for any promotion are the operator's own official rules — not ours.

What this site is and what it is not
Best Sweeps Casinos is an independent comparison and information site. We do not operate games, hold player funds, issue Gold Coins or Sweeps Coins, process coin purchases, or approve prize redemptions. Every account you open is a contract between you and the operator.
Nothing here is legal, tax or financial advice. Sweepstakes law in the US is set largely at the state level and changes frequently, so we cannot tell you that any particular platform is lawful for you to use at your address today. Where we describe eligibility, redemption or payment mechanics, we are describing how these programs generally work — the operator's terms and conditions and official rules control.
How we make money, and what that does not buy
We earn affiliate commission. If you follow a link from this site to a sweepstakes operator and register or purchase a coin package, the operator may pay us a fee. You pay no more because of it.
Commercial relationships do not decide position. Our editorial ratings are assigned on published criteria, and an operator cannot buy a higher rank, a better score, or the removal of a criticism. Some platforms we cover pay us nothing. Some platforms that would pay us are not listed because they did not meet our checks.
- Ratings are editorial. A score such as 10.0 or 9.3 is our own judgment, not a customer-review average and not a measure of how often anyone wins.
- Offers are the operator's. We reproduce headline promotions as published by the operator at the time of review. They change without notice to us.
- No testing claims. We research and verify published information. We do not present advertised processing times as results we measured ourselves.
Accuracy of the offers we list
Below are the headline welcome promotions as advertised by the operators we rank, in the order they appear on this site. Every one is subject to the operator's own terms: eligibility by state and age, verification, promotional playthrough on Sweeps Coins before redemption, coin expiration, and redemption minimums. Purchases are never required to enter — legitimate programs provide a free method of entry, and free Sweeps Coins are typically also available through daily logins and mail-in requests.
| Platform | Advertised welcome offer | Our editorial rating |
|---|---|---|
| Spinblitz | 100 Million Gold Coins with the BLITZ JACKPOT | 10.0 |
| Lone Star | Up to 500k GC & 105 Free SC | 9.8 |
| Casino.Click | 150 Extra Coins & 10 Free Spins | 9.7 |
| SplashCoins | 200% Welcome Offer | 9.7 |
| Free Spins | 950,000 GC + SC 75 + 20 Free Spins on Gorilla Slot | 9.5 |
| Lucky.me | 40,000 GC & 40 Free SC Welcome Bundle | 9.5 |
| Crown Coins | 150% Welcome Bonus | 9.3 |
| Crash Duel | 200,000 GC + 100 Free SC | 9.3 |
| Spree | 25,000 GC Welcome Offer | 9.2 |
| Mr Goodwin | 125,000 Free Coins on sign up | 9.1 |
If an offer on this page differs from what you see after registering, the operator's version applies. Tell us through our contact page and we will re-check it.
Spinblitz
Spinblitz sits at the top of our list because its Gold Coin economy is unusually generous at sign-up and its slot floor is broad enough that casual players are not pushed toward a handful of titles. For a page about terms, the relevant point is scale: a headline of 100 Million Gold Coins with the BLITZ JACKPOT is promotional currency for standard play only, with no redemption value. Sweeps Coins are the separate currency that can, after the operator's playthrough conditions are met and identity verification is complete, be put forward for prize redemption. Limitation: a very large Gold Coin figure tells you nothing about how easily SC accumulates, and the jackpot element is a game feature, not an expected outcome.
Lone Star
Lone Star is here for the clarity of its dual-currency split: the advertised bundle names both sides, up to 500k GC and 105 free SC, so you can see what is play-only and what is potentially redeemable before you register. That matters for anyone reading terms first. Limitation: "up to" figures usually mean the full amount is tiered across purchases or staged rewards, so the headline is a ceiling rather than a day-one balance. Check the tier table in the official rules.
Casino.Click
Casino.Click earns its place on a smaller, more conservative offer: 150 extra coins and 10 free spins. The appeal is a low-commitment entry point for someone who wants to see the lobby, the geolocation check and the verification flow before deciding anything. Limitation: the promotion is modest by category standards, and free spins are usually locked to specific titles with their own contribution rules toward any playthrough.
SplashCoins
SplashCoins uses a percentage structure rather than a flat grant — a 200% welcome offer scales with the coin package you choose. That suits players who intend to buy, and it is worth noting on a terms page because percentage offers attach to a purchase by design. Limitation: there is generally no equivalent uplift on the no-purchase route, so the headline understates what free-entry players will actually see.
Coins, costs and how money moves
Participation does not require payment. Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins are both distributed free through registration bonuses, daily logins, social promotions and a written alternative method of entry, typically a mail-in request set out in the official rules. Buying a coin package is optional and buys Gold Coins; Sweeps Coins that accompany a purchase are supplied as a free promotional bonus, not sold.
- Paying in: US platforms commonly accept debit cards, ACH bank transfers and online payment providers where supported. Availability varies by operator and by state, and some card issuers decline these transactions.
- Getting paid out: prize redemption of Sweeps Coins is usually offered as cash to a bank account, sometimes as gift cards. Expect a redemption minimum, a per-day or per-week cap, and identity verification before the first redemption is released.
- Timing: processing times are operator-published and depend on the method, review queue and whether your documents are already approved. Treat advertised windows as targets, not promises.
- Playthrough: Sweeps Coins normally must be played through at least once before they qualify for redemption. Some SC carry expiration dates.
- Tax: prize redemptions may be taxable under federal and state rules. Keep your own records and consult official guidance or a tax professional.
We do not hold or refund any of it. Purchase disputes, declined transactions and redemption delays go to the operator's support team first; their complaints procedure is in their terms.
What you can play, and the other products these brands run
The catalogue on these platforms is broadly consistent: slot-style games in the majority, including progressive jackpot titles and high-volatility releases; table-style games such as blackjack, roulette and video poker; crash and instant-win formats — Crash Duel's name signals that category directly; and live-dealer rooms on the larger platforms. RTP is published per game by the studio, so read it in the game info panel rather than relying on any site-wide claim. Our wider comparison of coins, RTP and redemption terms across US sweeps platforms goes into that in detail.
Several of these brands also run adjacent products under the same account: a purely social casino mode with no redeemable currency at all, sportsbook-style prediction or pick'em contests in some states, and loyalty or VIP programs with tournaments and seasonal events. Those side products often have separate rules, separate eligible-state lists and separate prize mechanics from the main sweepstakes promotion. Do not assume terms carry across.
Eligibility, state restrictions and your obligations
You may use this site if you are of legal age in your state and are not excluded by the operator you approach. Most sweepstakes platforms set a minimum of 18, and some require 21 either everywhere or in specific states. Sweepstakes casinos are US-focused, and availability varies by state: several states restrict or prohibit them outright, and operators also choose to exclude states where they see legal risk. Washington, Idaho, Michigan and a handful of others are commonly excluded, but exclusion lists change, so check the operator's current list rather than any third-party summary, including ours.
You agree to use one account per person, give accurate registration details, allow geolocation checks, and complete identity verification with government-issued photo ID and, if requested, proof of address before redeeming. Accounts opened from an excluded state, or with mismatched details, are routinely closed with prize forfeiture under the operator's rules.
Outcomes in casino-style games are determined by chance. Nothing on this site should be read as a prediction of winnings.
Use of this site

Responsible play
Sweepstakes play is entertainment, and the promotional model does not remove the risk of spending more than you intended on coin packages. Operators offer deposit limits, session reminders and self-exclusion; use them early rather than late. Free national support is available through the National Council on Problem Gambling helpline and Gamblers Anonymous. Our responsible gambling resources page lists the tools and blocking software worth setting up first.
Complaints and getting in touch
If a listing here is out of date, if an offer did not match what we published, or if you want to know why a platform is ranked where it is, write to us. We correct verified errors and say so on the page. Complaints about an account, a purchase or a redemption must go to the operator first, since we have no access to your account; if their complaints procedure is exhausted, we will still want to hear about it, because it affects how we rate them.
Our editorial standards and who writes here are set out separately. Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact form, and we will reply in writing.
