Methodology

The promo code problem

Most sweepstakes casinos do not use codes. Stake.us does, and its welcome offer depends on partner links. That makes it a favourite target for pages that publish invented codes. We only describe the offer attached to our link, tell you where to check it in your account, and never print a code we cannot confirm.

What we measure

• Payout speed by method, from Stake's published policy, SweepsKings and Deadspin tests and dated Trustpilot reports.
• Bonus value after playthrough, because 25 SC at 3x is worth less than 25 SC at 1x.
• Restrictions, including excluded states, the 21+ age limit and the rule that you redeem to the method you bought with.
• Complaint patterns, read across thousands of reviews and the SweepsKings and SweepsCasinos.US forums, not cherry-picked quotes.

Scoring

We use the scoring from SweepstakesCasinosList.com, where redemption speed carries the most weight. Stake.us scores 92/100 there; the deductions are for the 3x playthrough, no Android app and state restrictions. Read the full Stake.us review for each line.

Updates

Stake changes promotions often. We recheck the offer, the daily bonus and the payout data regularly, and the date at the top of each page shows the last check.
