Big Shot Games casino review

The bonuses at Big Shot Games genuinely impressed me with how varied and unique they are. The welcome bonus is solid enough. The GC amount sits on the lower side, but the SC is right in line with most sweepstakes casinos. For comparison, you get 120,000 GC and 2 SC at Coinz, 100,000 GC and 3 SC at Gold Treasure, and 7,500 GC and 2 SC at SweetSweeps.

What I liked was the number of ongoing free SC bonuses available once you’ve signed up. Between the Daily TreatBox, the Fortune Trail, and Wheel of Fortune, there’s always something to claim, and it actually adds up over time. I prefer this format to the standard “click-and-claim” login bonuses you usually see at sweepstakes casinos because it feels more engaging.

The Bones currency is another unique highlight. You can use them in the Store to pick up GC and SC, but what really surprised me is that they can be exchanged for physical items like an Xbox, a Nintendo Switch, AirPods, and more. It does take a lot of grinding to get there, but I’ve not seen these kinds of physical rewards before at a sweepstakes casino.

There are a couple of things that could be improved. For one, there aren’t any social media giveaways or referral bonuses, which I’ve come to expect at sweepstakes casinos. The Free Refill can only be claimed when your GC balance drops below 100 GC, which is very low. I can’t complain too much about that, though, as it’s rare to find this feature. Another thing is that the rewards and progression for the BSG Club aren’t clearly explained anywhere; I had to ask support about it.

Exploring the games at Big Shot Games, my overall takeaway is that the library is fine and has some unique touches, but it doesn’t compete with bigger sweepstakes casinos. It offers over 460 titles, which gives you a good amount of variety, but it’s nowhere near the scale of WOW Vegas or High 5 Casino. 

Most of what you’ll be playing here is slots. I didn’t feel like I was playing the same games over and over for this Big Shot Games sweeps casino review, but if I was committing to a platform in the long term, I could see how I might want a 1,000+ selection to choose from. 

I was pleased to see at least a small selection of games besides slots. Some sweepstakes casinos, like Spindoo or Spinfinite, concentrate entirely on slot gaming, so having a different style of gameplay made things more interesting. The virtual sports section, in particular, was a nice surprise, as that’s not something that you come across often in sweepstakes gaming.

The biggest issue I had was that there weren’t any table games or live dealer options, which disappointed me right away. Again, this is another reason it can’t compete with top competitors, like SweepsRoyal or Stake.us, which offer these classic types of games.

I was pretty happy with the lineup of providers at Big Shot Games. There are titles from 25 studios, which is more than I expected for a library of this size. For example, Coinz.us has a similar-sized collection but only titles from 11 software providers, while Sheesh offers more games but only from 8 studios.

You can find titles from a solid mix of popular names, so there’s no shortage of familiar, high-quality titles to rely on. It was also great to see the inclusion of smaller developers, which you don’t find at every sweepstakes casino. It gives you new options rather than cycling through the same titles, which I’ve experienced at sites like SweepJungle or Spinfinite.

The only improvement would be the inclusion of in-house or exclusive games. For example, platforms like WOW Vegas have bespoke titles that you can’t find anywhere else. Here, everything comes from third-party studios; it’s not a deal-breaker, but something I’ve noticed at top competitors.

Banking at Big Shot Games is hassle-free, but it’s definitely on the basic side. Buying GC with a debit or credit card worked fine for me, but that’s the only option you get. It’s not unusual for a sweepstakes casino to keep things limited, but many platforms are including more modern payment methods, like e-wallets or crypto. 

Redemptions have the same issue. You can only redeem a cash prize with a bank transfer or choose a gift card, both of which require a minimum of 100 SC. While this is normal for cash prizes, gift cards usually have a lower minimum. For instance, at Sheesh, you only need 10 SC for a gift card, which is more accessible for all players. 

Gift cards arrive relatively slowly; mine was sent to my email within a day, while bank transfers take the standard three to five business days. Top competitors, like McLuck, process gift card redemptions within a few hours. What is frustrating is that there aren’t any quicker methods; for example, at SweepsRoyal, you can receive your crypto redemptions in minutes once they have been approved.

Big Shot Game’s safety measures are pretty standard for a sweepstakes casino. Being US-based gives it a solid credibility advantage over some offshore operators that I’ve seen. The site also works with reputable studios that use independently tested RNGs, which reassures me that game outcomes are fair.

The privacy policy covers the usual points about security, but doesn’t go into specific detail. When I looked into it myself, I found that the platform uses 256-bit encryption, which is what I typically expect at most sweepstakes casinos. It is a little disappointing that 2FA isn’t offered, like at Sheesh, but I’m used to seeing this at newer sites.

The responsible gaming page is on the basic side. There isn’t much detail in the resources or tips on the page. For control tools, you have the essentials like purchase limits, taking a break, and self-exclusion, but I’d like to see more tools. Other sites, like SweepJungle, now include session reminders and wager limits. 

I didn’t have any trouble getting a hold of an agent at Big Shot Games, and that’s always a good sign. Every time I tested the live chat, I was put straight through to an actual rep. There’s no chatbot that you have to click through to request speaking to an agent, which was efficient and satisfying. All the agents I spoke with were friendly and answered all my questions patiently. 

Email support is available, but it doesn’t offer the quickest replies. When I tested it, I got a response within a half-day, but I still had to clarify a few things. It’s fine, but live chat is clearly the go-to option if you want an answer in a reasonable amount of time. 

There isn’t a phone line, but honestly, that’s pretty normal for a sweepstakes casino. As long as the live chat works well, and it consistently does, I don’t think you’ll miss it. 

There is one thing that could be improved. The site doesn’t have a proper help centre; it’s just a small FAQ section that lacks any actual detail. Without that, I had to rely on chat or email, even for very simple questions, for this Big Shot Games sweepstakes casino review, which is frustrating. 

Big Shot Games has its own identity, and I appreciate that. The dog-mascot, cartoon-style design won’t be everyone’s taste, but it at least gives the site a personality. A lot of sweepstakes casinos tend to blend into each other, so having something a bit quirky is at least memorable.

In terms of layout, it was a smooth experience. Everything is placed exactly where you expect it to be, and the fixed sidebar makes it easy to move between sections. I like it when a platform doesn’t make me think too much about navigation, and this one definitely succeeds.

The games lobby is organised in specific categories. One thing that I found strange is that there aren’t any subsections for the different kinds of slots, which is what you’d usually see. Normally, I’d like to see filters by provider, themes, or features. I appreciated the game information, though; it was useful in picking games. Most sweepstakes sites don’t publish these details so prominently.

Mobile performance was solid. There’s no app, which is common for a sweepstakes casino. Only a few sweepstakes casinos, like Crown Coins or Funrize, offer an app. But the browser version for Big Shot Games worked well when I tested it. Games loaded quickly, and there wasn’t any difference for me in quality from the desktop.
