It’s time to pour one out for Sweepstastic after the sweepstakes casino announced on March 27th that it is closing its doors for good on May 1st.
Launched in 2023 by Heuston Gaming, Sweeptastic partnered up with big-name software providers like BGaming, 3 Oaks, and Pragmatic Play to provide players with over 1,100 games to dive into.
Sweeptastic’s USP was that it accepted cryptocurrencies to purchase virtual credit, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin.
Before its impending close, Sweeptastic was available in 45 US states, with Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, and Washington the exceptions.
Information on Sweeptastic’s closure
As mentioned, Sweeptastic will cease operations on May 1st. If you’re a Sweeptastic customer, you’ll be wondering how this will affect you. Here’s a rundown of how the site plans to deal with its closure and customers’ accounts.
- Sweeptastic won’t accept new registrations from March 27th.
- Current customers won’t be able to purchase coin packages from March 27th.
- Mail-in requests for Sweepstakes Coins (SC) dated after March 27th won’t be credited to your account.
- Until April 30th, Sweeptastic customers can continue to play on the platform using Lucky Coins (LC) and SC.
- Redemptions will also be available until April 30th.
- From May 1st, Sweeptastic customers will no longer be able to access their accounts, play on the platform, or redeem prizes. All LC and SC will expire.
Alternatives to Sweeptastic
While Sweeptastic will soon be joining the sweepstakes casino version of Valhalla, there are still plenty of options to choose from. Here are some alternatives to Sweepstakes that I recommend, based on what the platform did well:
A crypto-only platform — Stake.us
Sweeptastic incorporated cryptocurrencies alongside traditional payment methods. But if you’re looking for a platform that’s gone all in on crypto, look no further than Stake.us.
Launched by Sweepstakes Limited in 2022, you can purchase Gold Coins bundles with a huge variety of cryptocurrencies — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Dogecoin, Tron, EOS, Binance Coin, and Tether. Players can also redeem Stake Cash, the site’s promotional currency, for all the aforementioned cryptocurrencies.
On top of that, Stake.us is also home to over 1,200 games, including 1,888 slots, from 24 casino software providers.
A platform with a large game library — Spree.com
As previously mentioned, Sweeptastic offered players a huge library of over 1,200 games, putting in well above the industry average. Throw in 24 software providers, and you had a games offering that few could match.
Still, there are a handful of sweepstakes casinos that also offer over 1,000 games. WOW Vegas has 1,000+ games and High 5 Casino and Fortune Coins both boast 1,200+. But my top pick for an alternative to Sweeptastic is Spree.com, which has a whopping 1,500+ games.
The vast majority of Spree.com’s game library is slots, but the platform also offers five live games — Gravity Blackjack, Gravity Roulette, Live Roulette, Auto Roulette, and Live Baccarat. While I’d like to see some table games, Spree.com makes up for that drawback with sheer variety thanks to 30 software providers.
A platform with a generous welcome bonus — WOW Vegas
Sweeptastic gave new players a generous welcome bonus of 30,000 LC and four free SC for a completed profile. Combine that with a first-purchase coin package of 25,000 LC and 25 SC for $14.99, and new players could jump into action with 55,000 SC and 25 SC.
Not every sweepstakes casino is as generous with SC. One of the ones that is is WOW Vegas. The site offers up 35 SC between the no-deposit bonus and the first-purchase bonus, along with 1.5 million WOW Coins (WC).
WOW Vegas doesn’t stop there, though. The platform also gives out one SC as a daily log-in bonus. On top of that, SC can be earned through the site’s two weekly social media promotions, the WOW Jackpot promotion, and the progression-based VIP program.
A platform with a wide game variety — Ding Ding Ding
Ding Ding Ding, a sweepstakes casino that’s as much fun to say as it is to play on. The platform has a massive 960+ game library for players to dive into. But what I like best about Ding Ding Ding is the sheer variety of games.
Sweeptastic had a solid range of games on offer, but Ding Ding Ding is on another level:
- 914 slots
- 25 jackpot games
- Nine live games
- Eight scratch cards
- Seven blackjack tables
- Seven specialty games
- Five bingo games
- Three poker games
- One roulette table
- One keno game
On top of that, Ding Ding Ding is a solid alternative for those looking for a mix of cryptocurrencies and standard transaction methods. Players can make purchases with cards like VISA and Mastercard, or crypto options like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
A platform with FIAT and crypto payments — Casino.click
Casino.click is a newcomer in the sweepstakes casino scene after launching in January 2025, but it is attempting to carve out a slice of the market by offering both traditional and cryptocurrency transaction methods.
The platform has a total of 11 payment methods, significantly more options than Sweeptastic’s five. I appreciate this flexibility, especially as you can make both purchases and make redemptions via cryptocurrency. Even better, cryptocurrency redemptions have a fast 24-hour turnaround.
Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Ripple are among the cryptocurrencies available. The standard purchase methods include VISA and Mastercard, and bank transfer is an option for redemptions.
