Why Canadians review American sweeps casinos

Distance makes for honest eyesight. We watch the US sweepstakes casino scene from north of the border – close enough to test everything ourselves, far enough to have no favourites down there. The industry is legitimate but loud: giant coin numbers that mean nothing, payout promises nobody times, terms nobody reads. We read them, time them, and write it all down in plain language, neighbour to neighbour.

How the testing works

Every site on our list goes through the same 12-category review: real accounts, claimed bonuses, balances played through their terms, cash-outs timed to the hour, support desks quizzed with real tickets. Front-runners are re-measured monthly, the whole list quarterly, and any site that changes its deal gets an immediate second look. The full method is written up in How We Rate.

Where the money comes from

This is an affiliate publication: when a reader joins a site through our links, we may earn a commission. That pays for the test accounts, the redemption experiments and the hours of note-taking. It buys no goodwill in the scores – rankings come off the measurements, critical findings get published about paying partners exactly as about everyone else, and nobody has ever bought a spot on our list.

The company on the paperwork

Online Canadian Casinos – US Sweeps Guide is owned and operated by OMD AS, a company registered in Norway. Registered address: Torstein Rafgård, Frøyas gate 15, Postboks 1165 Sentrum, 0107 Oslo, Norway. Questions, corrections and partnership notes all go through our contact page.

The standing fine print

We are a review and information site – not a casino. We take no wagers, hold no funds, and sell no coins. Sweeps play is 18+ (21+ where required), unavailable in WA, NV, ID and CA, and always governed by each operator’s own terms, which outrank anything we write. And if play ever stops being fun, call 1-800-GAMBLER – more resources are on our responsible gambling page.
