Sweepico vs SweepShark

The short version

Sweepico and SweepShark share an Editor Rating of 4.0, so the specific terms decide it. We couldn’t find a verified term where one clearly beats the other, so we won’t name a winner.

Where you can play for prizes

Their maps match: both are open for prize play in the same 33 jurisdictions, counting DC. SweepShark’s figure, like Sweepico’s, reflects the operator’s own exclusions and state law.

They share 18 closed jurisdictions, California and Connecticut among them.

Both SweepShark and Sweepico keep Utah on their open lists, but that state restricts sweepstakes casinos, and we go by the law.

Turning SC into prizes

Cash prizes start at 25 SC at either site.

Both state the same processing time: up to 30 days (one redemption per 5 days; $600+ may take longer).

Each requires Sweeps Coins to be played through 1x before they can be redeemed. Sweepico says it may require more. SweepShark requires identity verification before you redeem.

Playing without buying

The free Sweeps Coins match at 1 SC each. Sweepico gives 1 SC; SweepShark gives 1 SC.

Sweepico’s free mail-in entry pays 1 SC per request. To enter, obtain a unique request code, write out a request on a 4x6 card and mail it in an envelope. By post, SweepShark credits 1 SC per request. You handwrite a request on a 4x6 card and send it in an envelope.

Support and games

Support works the same way at both: email support, 24/7 email (replies within up to 72 hours). Each claims 1,000+ games.

Ratings explained

Their scored Editor Rating dimensions are within 0.3 points across the board.

Their Market Signal scores, a measure of online footprint rather than terms, are close. Sweepico is too new for a momentum reading; SweepShark’s momentum is rising.

Sister sites?

Yes. Sweepico and SweepShark both name UTech Solutions LLC as operator, which makes them sister sites. Playtana, FireSevens, DexyPlay and JackpotRabbit come from the same group, 6 brands in all that we track. Their minimum age, cash minimum, mail-in amount, playthrough, state list and support channels are identical. So far we haven’t found a verified term where they differ.
