About Us
Last updated June 21, 2026
Best Casinos Play is an independent guide to legal sweepstakes and social casinos in the United States, published by Best Casinos Play. We exist to make a confusing corner of the internet simple: which sites are legitimate, where you can legally play, and which offers are actually worth claiming.
What we do
We review, rank and continuously re-check U.S. sweepstakes casinos. Every operator on the site is assessed hands-on — we create an account, claim the free coins, play the games and put each site through a real prize redemption before it earns a place in the rankings. Nothing makes our list on reputation alone.
How we review
Seven factors decide where a brand lands, and we re-verify them every month: redemption speed and minimums, real free daily value, game library and studios, no-purchase fairness, payment and redemption options, app stability and user experience, and overall trust and support quality.
Where the facts change — a new bonus, a lowered redemption minimum, a state added or removed — we update the page and the verification date rather than leaving stale information in place.
Editorial independence
Our rankings are not for sale. Operators cannot pay to move up the list or to remove a negative point from a review. The order reflects our testing, not commercial relationships.
How we make money
Best Casinos Play is free to read. We earn commissions when readers sign up through some of the links on this site, which keeps the lights on and the testing going. That affiliate relationship never changes our scores or what we write — it simply funds the work. You can read more in our Terms of Use.
Our standards
We write in plain English, separate fact from marketing, and flag the trade-offs as clearly as the upsides. Every casino review lists genuine cons alongside the pros, and every page that touches the law reminds you to confirm your own state’s rules before signing up.
Who writes the site
Content is written and verified by Grant Lucas, who tracks the U.S. sweepstakes and social casino market full-time. Questions, corrections or feedback are welcome.
