Not tested
No TrueSweeps session reached this step, so nothing in the cell is our observation.
Not published, not on record
The operator’s documents we read do not say. That is not zero and not “none”.
Not confirmed
The source did not load on the latest recheck; the last real reading stays, with its date.
Not comparable
At least one value in the row is unknown, so the row is not ranked either way.

TrueSweeps hands-on reviewTested September 4, 2026

Main strength
LoneStar: Broad catalogue and a High Rollers Lounge500+ games listed · High Rollers Lounge
FreeSpin: Large multi-studio libraryLive dealer · Mobile
Key limitation
LoneStar: Fun games, a dated interface, and support that failed once the questions got specific.
FreeSpin: Signup friction, a failed Apple Pay attempt, and a paid balance with no redemption path.
Free and paid offers
Free bonus and how to get it
LoneStar: 100,000 Gold Coins + 2.50 Sweeps Coins
ConditionsShown on the welcome modal in our test, before any purchase. A dated session amount from September 14, 2026 on an account registered with Texas selected. The operator's support bot said the same day that exact welcome amounts are not specified, so the figure is what one account was shown, not a published promise.

FreeSpin: 1 Sweeps Coin per request
ConditionsThe Sweeps Rules provide one complimentary Sweeps Coin per handwritten postal request by a verified user. Two pages stamped Version 3.2 carry different restricted-state lists; check which one you are reading. Not re-confirmed on the latest check. A recheck on October 15, 2026 did not reach the source (freespin.com/sweeps-rules answered with a restricted-country page from the checking location, as on September 19, 2026).
Paid package and its price
LoneStar: $2.9915,000 Gold Coins. No Sweeps Coins came with the $2.99 package. Gold Coins cannot be redeemed, and the store prices are a September 14, 2026 snapshot.

Redemption and verification
Redemption minimum and playthrough
LoneStar: $45 for gift-card prizes and $100 for cash, shown as 45 SC and 100 SC on the screen
Rest of the answereither may be amended at any time.
ConditionsSource clause: Rules 9.1; EV-LS-021. Playthrough: At least once before Redeemable Sweeps Coins can be redeemed; the operator may require more at its discretion. (Rules 9.2).
FreeSpin: Only prize redemptions worth at least $100, described as 100 redeemable Sweeps Coins from the account.
ConditionsSource clause: Sweeps Rules 7.4. Playthrough: A playthrough requirement of one: Sweeps Coins must be played at least once on eligible games before winnings from them can be redeemed. (Sweeps Rules 4.6). A recheck on October 15, 2026 did not reach the source (freespin.com/sweeps-rules answered with a restricted-country page from the checking location, as on September 19, 2026).
Redemption methods and caps
LoneStar: The rules name two prize classes, gift cards and cash
Rest of the answerthis review recorded no payout-route list from them. The support bot listed routes that day (EV-LS-016): an observed support claim, not a documented method.
ConditionsCaps: $10,000 per day and one open request at a time; in Florida $5,000 on any one spin. (Rules 9.3 and 9.5). Source clause: Rules 9.1; EV-LS-016 (support claim). Documented rule beside an observed support claim; the claim is not a verified method.
FreeSpin: This review recorded no payout-method list from the Sweeps Rules
Rest of the answerbank transfer is the one route named, inside the daily-limit clause. Support, asked how to withdraw, said the account could not redeem (EV-FS-017).
ConditionsCaps: Not to exceed $2,500 for bank transfers, with the operator able to grant individually more flexible limits. In New York and Florida the maximum is $5,000 per day regardless of any individual flexibility, and anything above that will not be allocated or paid. The root tree prints this clause twice, once naming New York and Florida and once naming Florida alone. (Sweeps Rules 7.6). Source clause: Sweeps Rules 7.6 (read September 6, 2026); EV-FS-017 (support, observed). Documented rule beside an observed support claim; the claim is not a verified method. A recheck on October 15, 2026 did not reach the source (freespin.com/sweeps-rules answered with a restricted-country page from the checking location, as on September 19, 2026).
Payout timing: published vs observedNot comparable
LoneStar: No ordinary processing time promised.
Rest of the answer$2,500 or more may take longer and be paid in instalments, a right the operator reserves for any prize.
Published rule (Rules 9.19). Observed: Redemption not requested; redeemable balance 0.00 on September 14, 2026.
FreeSpin: None published
ConditionsWhat the document says: None. Section 7 runs from 7.1 to 7.11 in both trees without a payout timeframe, and the words business days and working days appear nowhere in either version of the document. A ten-business-day figure exists in Terms clause 9.6, inside the root tree's second Terms block, which renders at zero height. Published rule (Sweeps Rules section 7; Terms 9.6). Observed: Sign-up verification tested on September 4, 2026 (The SMS arrived; the email did not); redemption not available on the test account. A recheck on October 15, 2026 did not reach the source (freespin.com/sweeps-rules answered with a restricted-country page from the checking location, as on September 19, 2026).
Verification before a prizeNot comparable
LoneStar: Government ID before any redemption
Rest of the answeron request an eligibility affidavit, a publicity release and tax forms within thirty days; the Terms add a utility bill and source-of-funds documents. The screen adds a selfie.
Source: Rules 9.12 to 9.14; Terms 8.3. Observed: Redemption not requested; redeemable balance 0.00 on September 14, 2026.
FreeSpin: Not on record
ConditionsThe document list has not been read from this operator's documents. Observed: Sign-up verification tested on September 4, 2026 (The SMS arrived; the email did not); redemption not available on the test account.

Scores come from paid, documented hands-on tests weighted by the methodology; an unscored or untested record is not a lower score. “Not on record” means TrueSweeps has not read that rule from the operator’s documents, not that there is none. State lists are compared in full on the state index; an operator’s list is not a statement of what is lawful in a state, and a state absent from it is not “allowed”.

Where these records differ

  • Test status. LoneStar: 4.0 / 10, provisional.FreeSpin: 2.4 / 10, provisional.
  • Free route. LoneStar: 100,000 Gold Coins + 2.50 Sweeps Coins.FreeSpin: 1 Sweeps Coin per request.
  • Paid package. LoneStar: $2.99.FreeSpin: $5.00.
  • Redemption minimum. Worded differently for each; read the row.
  • State lists. LoneStar: 13 states named as excluded; 6 of them for part of the product only; 1 disputed or unclear.FreeSpin: 7 states named as excluded; 4 disputed or unclear.

Quoted from the table below; nothing here ranks the records. No TrueSweeps test has completed a redemption, so no payout speed is confirmed for any of them.

How to read this comparison

  • What is compared. Score and test status, welcome offer, free Sweeps Coins routes, redemption minimum, methods and timing, verification, and each operator’s own state list; with a state chosen, that state’s row as well.
  • Score and test status. A TrueSweeps score exists only after a paid, documented hands-on test, weighted by the methodology. The scored tests so far: Crown Coins (September 3, 2026), FreeSpin (September 4, 2026), LoneStar (September 14, 2026). A limited test that ended before play stays unscored: Stake.us (September 14, 2026). Unscored is not a low score. Trustpilot and Better Business Bureau figures are never mixed into a score; they are shown separately inside each review.
  • Source classes. Each value is labeled as an operator document, a help center, a third-party listing or a tested observation (source class); the glossary defines the other terms used here.
  • Unknown is not zero. “Not on record”, “not published” and “not confirmed” mean the operator’s documents did not answer the question or TrueSweeps could not read them on the date shown. They are never treated as “none”, and two unknowns are never treated as the same conditions. A row with an unknown cell is marked “Not comparable”, and “Show differences only” keeps every such row.
  • Offers. The free bonus and the paid package come from the offer tracker, with the ledger’s own status: a tested credit, an operator listing, a third-party listing, or a source that failed its latest recheck (the date of the failed recheck is kept beside the last real reading).
  • Redemption and verification. Minimums and playthrough come from the review’s own rule rows where a review read the operator’s documents, otherwise from the directory record with its source class and read date; methods, caps, payout timing and document lists come from the review that read the operator’s rules, each labeled with the clause. Published rules and what the tester saw are printed apart. No review has completed a redemption. In every Source line, “read” and a date is the day the document was captured; “tested” and a date is the day of a TrueSweeps session.
  • States. The count is the operator’s own exclusion list on the day it was read, compared state by state on the state index. It is not a statement about the law in any state, and a state missing from a list is not “allowed”.
  • No winner. The table declares no best operator; the records are too different in depth for that, and the reader’s state and goal decide what matters. Add or swap brands from any directory card; the set follows you here and lives in the address with your state and the differences view, so the link you copy opens exactly this table.
Listings are snapshots, not guarantees. A state line is the operator's own list on the date shown, not legal advice. Recheck the operator page, your eligibility and your state immediately before registering. Direct links only; no affiliate tracking; 18+ or 21+ depending on operator and state.
