Logan Reeves - About the Author
I have spent the last nine years covering US social and sweepstakes casinos full time, opening accounts with my own money, testing welcome offers, unboxing odds, redemption speeds and support quality first-hand. I rate brands on verifiable facts rather than marketing - playthrough rules, redemption thresholds, state eligibility and KYC - and I always put responsible, no-purchase-necessary play first.
About Logan Reeves
I have covered the US social and sweepstakes casino space full time since 2017, from the early Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin brands to today's newer formats like the Mystery Box model Card Crush is built on. I open and fund accounts myself, run welcome offers end to end, time redemptions with a stopwatch and read the Sweepstakes Rules so readers do not have to. My reviews are independent: I take affiliate relationships, but they never change a rating or a verdict.
How I test sweepstakes casinos
Every brand I cover goes through the same checklist so the scores are comparable:
- Sign-up and verification - how fast registration and KYC really are.
- Offer value - what the welcome and first-purchase deals are actually worth after terms.
- Currency model - exactly how the coins, cards and playthrough work.
- Redemption - thresholds, methods and real payout times from my own requests.
- Compliance - age limits, eligible states, responsible-play tools and rules clarity.
Editorial standards
Facts on this site are checked against the operator's own rules and reputable industry sources, and pages carry a clear last-updated date. Bonus amounts and state availability change quickly in this industry, so I revisit the figures regularly and always recommend confirming current terms on the operator site. This is an independent review resource and not the official Card Crush operator.
