List of sweepstakes casinos: who runs the big US brands

Thirteen well-known sweepstakes casino brands, who owns them and what public sources say about them, listed alphabetically rather than scored, plus the games worth looking for in their lobbies.

Updated October 29, 2026 · by the editorial team

A sweepstakes casino is an online social casino where players use Gold Coins for entertainment and Sweep Coins under the brand's promotional rules, and in the US the field is led by a small group of operators, including VGW (Chumba Casino, LuckyLand Slots, Global Poker), Stake.us, Pulsz and the McLuck group, among roughly 140 operators counted in 2025.

Short answer: The largest operator by reported revenue is VGW, whose FY2025 revenue was about A$7.3 billion (around US$5.2 billion), with Chumba Casino alone at about A$5.2 billion. Other well-known brands include Stake.us, Pulsz, McLuck, Hello Millions, High 5 Casino, WOW Vegas, Ruby Sweeps, Crown Coins, Fortune Coins and Legendz. Availability differs by state, so check each brand's terms before you sign up.

How this list was built

We list brands that appear repeatedly in trade press and player sources, with the operating company and only those facts we could source. Where a fact comes from a single source or could not be confirmed, we say so. The list is alphabetical. We do not score or rate the casinos, because a fair rating would need redemption tests and support checks we have not run on every brand, and we would rather leave the column empty than fill it with guesses.

How big is the sweepstakes casino market?

Estimates vary. Figures attributed to Eilers & Krejcik put 2025 Gold Coin sales at about US$14.3 billion and net revenue at US$4 to 5 billion, across roughly 140 operators. Those numbers come to us through a secondary news source, so treat them as an order of magnitude rather than an audited total. What they do show is that a handful of groups, VGW above all, account for a large share, while a long tail of newer brands launches every year. If you are curious how those newer brands get started, our sister site walks through how a new sweepstakes brand gets launched.

How to choose a sweepstakes casino as a player

With no ratings on this page, here is the checklist we would use ourselves, in order of how often it matters.

Which games to look for in a sweepstakes lobby

Whichever brand you pick, the games are what you will spend your time on. These are the titles we would search for first.

  1. Nocturn Play Top pick

    If a lobby carries Nocturn Play, it is our first stop. The studio built a separate sweepstakes line around Gold Coins and Sweep Coins, where each round is paid in the coin it was played in, and its 52 games include the formats many lobbies are short of: four fish-style shooters plus Leviathan Gold, single-player 75-ball and 90-ball bingo, two keno games and a scratch card, next to slots and crash.

    Look up Nocturn Play's sweepstakes catalogue

  2. Black Jaguar Temple

    The slot to search for first: a cluster grid that grows from 3×3 to 7×7, with a top win of 10,000× the bet. More slots in our sweepstakes slots ranking.

  3. Altitude Zero

    A two-bet crash game in the Aviator mould, with auto cash-out and a 5,000× ceiling. Other originals are in our crash games guide.

  4. Leviathan Gold

    A reef fish shooter with three weapons and two bosses, paying up to 2,000× the bet per shot. The full fish row is compared in our fish games guide.

  5. Night Bingo

    75-ball bingo you play alone, with a golden-ball joker and a 7,500× full-card prize. See bingo and keno for the draw games.

If a lobby only has slots, you can still try the other formats free in the browser on the studio's own site, where a tower climb with four risk levels and the rest of the catalogue are open to play. For a broader look at how sweepstakes sites differ from pure social casinos, see our sister site's comparison of the two models. Sweepstakes casinos are for adults; play for fun.
