JoinRewardly is the flagship review property for social sweepstakes casinos — the kind of operator that runs on a dual-currency model, settles redemptions in eligible jurisdictions, and competes on bonus structure rather than payout odds. The category is messy. Headline rates are loud, T&C clauses are quiet, and the gap between the marketing copy and the redeemable mechanics is where most players get surprised.
What we cover
We cover the operators inside the social sweepstakes category exclusively. We do not cover real-money casinos, lottery products, or fantasy contests. The category boundary is deliberate: sweepstakes operators share a mechanical structure (claimable currency, playthrough, redemption, jurisdictional carve-outs) that lets a single rubric apply across the working set without bending to fit. Mixing categories would force the rubric to flex, and a flexed rubric is no rubric at all.
How we score
Every operator is rated on a ten-axis rubric covering bonus structure, claim friction, playthrough, redemption mechanics, currency split, loyalty cadence, VIP entry path, table-limit ceilings, no-deposit posture, and state coverage. Each axis carries a weight. Each weight is published. Each axis page links back to the testing log entry that produced the underlying datapoint. If a number isn't evidenced, it isn't on the page.
How often we re-test
Every axis is on a fixed refresh cadence — some weekly, some monthly, some quarterly. The cadence map is published. When an operator's terms drift between tests, the next scheduled refresh catches it and the page updates with a dated changelog. We do not silently re-stamp pages.
How we differ
The category is full of pages that read like operator-written marketing dressed in review framing. We write the framework first, then run the operators through it, and we publish both. If we get an axis wrong, the methodology page tells you exactly which assumption to attack. That's the bar.
