A star rating (0-5) that represents the overall quality and trustworthiness of a sweepstakes casino.
A star rating is a 0-to-5-star score used by sweepstakes casino review sites. It shows the overall quality and trust level of each site. Higher scores point to more solid, trusted sites. The rating comes from a 100-point Trust Score with a non-linear map that helps tell mid-range sites apart. The Trust Score uses five weighted factors: Company Reputation (20%) — track record, owner clarity, years in business; Payout Reliability (25%) — user-reported cash-out success, speed, and consistency; Regulatory Compliance (20%) — legal status, state limits, past actions; Customer Service (15%) — response speed and how well issues get fixed; User Reviews (20%) — Trustpilot, BBB, and player feedback. Tiers: 4.2 to 5.0 = Excellent; 3.5 to 4.19 = Good; 3.0 to 3.49 = Average; 2.5 to 2.99 = Below Average; below 2.5 = Poor. Star ratings should be updated often as sites change.
A rating of 3.5 stars or above is generally considered good. Ratings of 4.2+ indicate excellent, top-tier casinos with proven track records and consistent positive feedback.
Star ratings are calculated using weighted factors including company reputation, payout reliability, regulatory compliance, customer service, and user reviews.
