Eighteen To One. Worst To First.
We funded an account at every sweepstakes casino on this list, cleared each redemption floor on free entries and cashed out for real. Then we counted down from the one that wasted the most of our time to the one that paid the fastest.
The Countdown
Read from the top and the list gets better as you go. The last band on this page is the winner.
ThrillCoins
Last place, and honest about it. One redeemable coin, the slowest cashier we timed and an onboarding that asks nothing because it offers nothing.
Pulsz Casino
The most reliable operator in the bottom half, undone by a welcome that has not moved with the market and a 66 hour wait.
SpeedSweeps
Instant to start and slowest but one to pay. A single coin, a capped wheel and 60 hours to the money.
RichSweeps
Sold on a wheel that could pay forty coins and hands over one. Fourteen days of free play just to reach the floor.
Pickem Casino
The best welcome in the bottom half by a mile, fifty redeemable coins, dragged down by a 55 hour cashier.
Jackpota
The hardest floor on the board, a hundred coins, in front of a welcome worth two and a half.
Spindoo
Missions everywhere and a joke of a headline. Two coins to start, thirteen days to the floor.
Baba Casino
Half a million Gold Coins that cannot be redeemed, and two coins that can.
Dorados
Renamed currencies, real charm, sample-sized credit. Boosters are the only reason to stay.
MyPrize.us
A coin a day for turning up, which rewards regulars and punishes visitors. Forty-four hours to pay.
Spree
Thirty coins against a fifty coin floor and nothing asked in return. Quietly one of the cleanest offers here.
CrownCoins Sweeps
Seventy-five redeemable coins, the biggest first-purchase match in the sector, and the worst floor on the board.
McLuck
The biggest progressive network we tested, attached to a deliberately small welcome and a 28 hour cashier.
Stake.us
Rakeback keeps paying long after the welcome is gone, and the cashier moves in a day.
SplashCoins
A hundred and fifty thousand Gold Coins, two redeemable, and a promo calendar that eventually gets you there.
SpinBlitz Sweeps
Sixty-five coins against the lowest floor, plus the fastest support desk in the study.
LoneStar Casino
The largest credit of the eighteen, already past its own floor, with VIP points on top.
Mega Bonanza
Number one. The only site that led on the credit, the floor and the clock at the same time, and the only one that paid the same day we asked.

Four Steps, Eighteen Times
The same routine everywhere, which is the only way a countdown like this means anything.
Open and fund
Every account is opened in our own name and funded with our own money. No comped balances, no press accounts, no advance notice to the operator.
Log the credit
The advertised welcome in one column, the coins that actually landed in the next. Only the second number counts.
Grind the floor free
Daily bonuses, promos and postal entries only, until the balance reaches the redemption floor. Every day is counted.
Cash out and time it
A real withdrawal, timed from filing to money in hand. This is what decides the countdown order.
Club Questions
Why count down instead of up?
Because the bottom of a list is where the useful warnings live, and nobody reads past position five on a normal ranking.
Is number one always the right choice?
It is the best all-round result. If one measure matters more to you than the others, read the figures on each band and pick accordingly.
Do I need to spend anything?
No. Every site here runs a free entry route and every figure was produced without a purchase.
Why do Gold Coins barely matter?
They cannot be redeemed. Sweeps Coins are the only currency with a route to a prize.
How often does the order change?
Quarterly, on fresh accounts, and immediately whenever a floor or payout time moves enough to shift a position.
What Separates Number One From Number Eighteen
Not the size of the welcome. The site in last place hands out up to fifty thousand Gold Coins, which is more play money than the winner gives you. What separates them is everything that happens after the confetti: how much of that welcome can ever become a prize, how far away the cashier is, and how long the operator takes once you finally ask to be paid.
At the top of this countdown a new player can be paid on the first evening. At the bottom the same player is fifteen days of daily bonuses away from the floor and then waiting the better part of three days for the transfer. Both operators are legal, both are normal, and the gap between them is the entire point of this page.
The floor is the quiet clause
Three sites in this countdown credit a balance that already clears their own redemption floor. Two set the bar at a hundred coins in front of a welcome worth two or three. Nobody advertises that number, so we print it on every band.
The clock is the honest test
Crediting coins costs an operator nothing. Paying a stranger a prize inside a day takes working compliance, a funded float and a support desk that answers. Our timings run from 22 hours to 70, and they have very little to do with brand size.
We re-run the whole countdown quarterly
Positions move. A site that pays in 28 hours in spring and 55 in summer slides down the list, and the change is dated so you can see the direction of travel rather than a single good week.
