Your sweepstakes side hustle, on easy mode.

No. You update your own balances, by hand or by importing a spreadsheet. SweepsOwl never asks for a casino password and there's nowhere in the app to put one. Nothing you do here is visible to a site you play on.

The only personal data SweepsOwl collects is your name and email. None of it is sold or shared. Community features, like global wager performance, use anonymous totals that can't be traced back to you.

Two reasons: Workflow and performance. Most sites need you to play through your coins before you can redeem them. SweepsOwl keeps track of that for you. In addition, most of us really want to understand (and optimize) our returns from play-through. Keeping 85% vs 95%+ makes a huge difference, and not only in the long run. For what it's worth, wager logs also happen to be very useful records at tax time.

With that said, we're open to feedback about an optional mode with simple balances and no wagers.

Use one, if it works for you. I had one for months, but then I started to experience its limitations: Balances would expire because I missed their redemption deadlines. I'd miss daily collection times and lose 2-3 complete daily yields per month. My spreadsheet became really long, which meant slow load times and a lot of scrolling. And I was constantly having to review the dozens of sites on my roster to see what needed attention. The spreadsheet not only added a lot of friction, its limitations ended up costing me real money. SweepsOwl was created because I wanted something better.

But spreadsheets can also be really practical, hands down! A good spreadsheet is a really convenient quick reference. SweepsOwl recognizes this and is trying to be even more convenient. It rebalances your unplayed and redeemable balances, calculates a purchase ROI, wager RTP, and tells you which game is best at any given site. It's also why there are currently no fewer than 3 different ways to claim your daily bonuses, including "Mark as collected" if you don't need help opening your sites.

Please be in touch if you find yourself missing any part of your spreadsheet!

There are several handy free tools out there, but most come with serious limitations. For starters, they're usually not very streamlined. They don't try to get out of your way, they don't send mobile push notifications, they're generally not optimized to manage 40+ sites. SweepsOwl is, and it's designed to make it all effortless (and get your daily bonuses fast). Many of them also only support a limited number of sites. Most don't give state-specific recommendations. And they definitely don't remind you about expiring coins.

Choose SweepsOwl for actionable daily guidance, lots of supported notification channels, data-backed play-through recommendations, powerful ledgers, and easy import/export. New features land regularly, and the app is worked on every week.

SweepsOwl is free while it's in open beta. It may not stay free forever because, much like you, I have a family to feed. But that won't happen until the tool provides so much extra value that paying a small sum will be a very easy decision.

If and when that day comes, the people who were here during the beta will be treated fairly, and preferentially. You'll hear about it well in advance.
P.S.: Submitting actionable feedback could really pay off... ;-)

Age and location checks are part of signing up, and anywhere unsupported gets blocked rather than waved through. SweepsOwl isn't available in California, New York or Quebec. We also hold sign-ups in any state where none of the casinos we recommend are currently available. Today that is Washington, and the hold lifts as soon as one of them opens there.

Not at the moment.
