How We Score A Reward Pack
No panels, no partner briefings and no scores handed down from a brand team. Eighteen accounts, our own money, one worksheet.
The Scoring Worksheet
Every site starts at zero and earns its score across four weighted measures. We publish the weights so you can disagree with them.
- Redeemable value, 40%. The Sweeps Coin share of the welcome pack, read against the redeem floor. A big pack behind a high floor scores worse than a modest pack that clears its own bar.
- Payout speed, 30%. Hours from filing to money in hand, timed on our own withdrawal.
- Free-play viability, 20%. Whether a non-paying account can reach the floor in a reasonable stretch, and how many days it took us.
- Account experience, 10%. Verification friction, support response time, app stability and how honestly the promos are described.
What We Do Not Score
Game counts, because a lobby of two thousand near-identical slots is not better than a lobby of four hundred good ones. Design, because taste is not a measurement. Bonus size in Gold Coins, because Gold Coins cannot be redeemed and can be issued by the million at no cost to the operator.
Funding and disclosure
We open accounts under our own names, pay for any coin package we test, and never accept a comped balance. Some brands here pay us commission when a reader signs up. That relationship has no influence on the order, and it never buys a higher score. If a paying partner slips on payout speed, it drops.
When a score changes
Quarterly retests, or immediately if something material moves: a floor rises, a payout time doubles, a free entry route quietly disappears. We date every change so you can see how a site has behaved over time rather than on one good day.
