Our Scoring System
Twelve categories, one weighted grade, and a process that starts with our own money.
Funded Accounts Or No Grade
Every grade on this board starts the same way: register, verify ID, buy a coin package with our own funds, play the balance through, request a redemption. Scoring only begins once money has actually landed. An operator that cannot complete that loop gets no grade at all, and several do not.
The Twelve Categories
We score redeemable Sweeps Coin value in the package, ongoing promotional value, playthrough fairness, clocked payout speed, available payout methods, minimum redemption thresholds, lobby depth, studio quality, mobile performance, support responsiveness, state coverage, and ownership transparency.
Redeemable value and payout speed carry the heaviest weight because together they decide what a player actually walks away with. Lobby volume deliberately counts for less than lobby quality; fifty well-built jackpot titles beat five hundred reskins of the same math.
What We Deliberately Ignore
Gold Coin headline figures score nothing, because they carry no redeemable value and any operator can print a bigger number. Visual design does not score beyond whether the interface actually works. And commercial terms move a grade in neither direction.
Independence, Stated Plainly
Placement is not for sale. Operators do not see their position before publication and cannot request a change to it. Where affiliate arrangements exist they are broadly similar across the category, so they give us no reason to favour anyone. If such an arrangement ever conflicted with a test result, we would end the arrangement rather than move the grade.
Re-Testing
Packages change constantly and payout performance drifts, so every graded operator is reconciled monthly and fully re-tested at least quarterly. When a payout window slips or a package shrinks, the grade moves with it. The date on each review tells you when the figures were last clocked.
