Same owner?

They’re sister sites: both list SGSE LLC as the operating company. The group’s third brand that we track is Reel Zappy. Sister sites often share rules, and these two match on minimum age, cash minimum, mail-in amount, playthrough and state list, but differ on payout methods and support channels. In practice the same company stands behind both sites, so pick on the terms that differ, not on who runs them.
