How We Rate
Every brand runs the same four gauges – here is exactly how each reading is taken.
Gauge One: Coin Value
The first reading is what a welcome is truly worth in redeemable Sweeps Coins – never the Gold Coin headline. We record the free SC on offer, any bonus SC tied to a first purchase, and the dollar value those coins can eventually become. Two brands advertising the same “millions” can land far apart once this gauge is read honestly.
Gauge Two: Playthrough
Value means nothing if you can never unlock it, so the second gauge measures the wagering standing between you and a redemption. We note the exact playthrough multiple, whether it applies to purchased or free coins, and how long the clock runs. A generous top line with a punishing multiple scores lower than a modest one you can actually clear.
Gauge Three: Payout Speed
The third gauge is timed by us, not quoted from a help page. We submit a real redemption and start the stopwatch at request and stop it at arrival, logging every verification step in between. That is why our payout windows sometimes differ sharply from what an operator promises.
Gauge Four: Support
The final gauge tests what happens when something goes wrong. We open genuine queries across chat and email, time the replies, and judge whether the answers actually resolve the issue. A brand that pays fast but vanishes when you have a problem loses ground here.
How the Gauges Become a Score
The four readings are weighted – redeemable value and payout speed carry the most – and combined into the single figure you see on each card. Because we take no fee for placement and earn no commission, the only thing that moves a score is a change in the readings themselves.
