How We Score Long-Term Value

Twelve checks feed each score, and the heaviest of them is what arrives in the month after the welcome offer.

The Thirty-Day Count

Week one is logged separately and excluded from the rewards figure, because a welcome bonus tells you nothing about a site you will still be using in a month.

From week two onward we collect only what the site gives away for free and add it up. The monthly total on every review page is that number, and it ranges from 4 Sweeps Coins to 46 across the eighteen.

What The Twelve Checks Cover

Monthly free coin total, daily bonus size, whether a streak resets, VIP conversion rates, tournament access, withdrawal minimum, payout speed by method, fees, lobby quality, mobile behaviour, support and operator transparency.

Payout speed still matters, because a generous daily drop is worth less at a site that takes three days to pay. But the monthly total carries the most weight.

What Earns No Points

Gold Coin figures earn nothing. Neither do VIP tiers that only convert into more Gold Coins, which is a surprisingly common arrangement.

No Sponsored Rankings

Rankings cannot be bought and are never shown to operators in advance. A site that pays us nothing and a site that pays us nothing are treated identically, because that is every site.

How Often We Re-Count

We re-count monthly totals every quarter, since daily bonus structures change more often than welcome offers do.
