Jackpotable and JackpotZap the Latest Scam Casinos to Avoid

A wave of scam sweepstakes casinos are still fooling players into depositing money with no upside, reward, or chance to retrieve their funds.

Back in November last year we wrote about a new wave of fake sweepstakes casinos stealing money from players, and – unfortunately – it seems the same grift is still ongoing.

Here are some of the new fake brands involved in this scam:

• Jackpotable
• JackpotZap
• Spin4Jackpot
• Rewards777
• Chaching Win

That’s on top of the sites we discovered last year:

• SweepsBlast
• BigCashSweeps
• Litslot
• Sweep777
• SnagPrize
• Hustle777
• Jackpotions

We even have full reviews of SweepsBlast and BigCashSweeps so you can read our assessment in detail.

How to Spot These Scam Sweepstakes Casinos

It’s easy to tell when a site belongs to this group because they all use a very similar template, just with different brand names or color choices to differentiate. Plus, even if you access these sites on desktop, the mobile design still displays, showing a lazy approach to web design.

Each site claims to have Pragmatic Play slots on the platform, including 7 Clovers of Fortune, Big Bass Floats My Boat, Gates of Olympus 1000, and Sugar Rush 1000. This is a big red flag because Pragmatic pulled out of the sweepstakes vertical in September last year – no real sweepstakes casino will be carrying Pragamatic games now.

These games are, in fact, bootleg versions of the actual Pragmatic titles. They are playable but they give players win after win before requiring that they deposit money to withdraw funds or unlock bonuses. We urge our readers not to comply as it will only end in you losing your funds.

It does look like the nonsense T&Cs have been improved since last year, but they are still very basic and generic, so a player with a keen eye should be able to spot problems here.

A link to a page on the Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE) has also been added to the footer of these sites. This is another ‘improvement’, but if you click through to the page, you’ll see that the rules do not describe a true AMOE system. That’s one where players can send in postcards to gain free SC, but the AMOE pages here just talk about standard sweepstakes bonuses and rewards in very vague terms.

Another telltale sign that something’s not quite right is the marketing wording used on the site – a lot of it is vague or doesn’t make much sense. For example, the banner carousel on the homepage says ‘One-time only’ or ‘Free redeem’ with no additional information on what these phrases refer to exactly.

We recommend that players avoid these sites completely and do not even get drawn into signing up for an account.

The SweepsKings Blacklist is Your Best Reference for Scam Sites

We’ve continued to add scam sites from this group to the SweepsKings Blacklist – this is your best resource for discerning if any sweepstakes casino is safe to play at or not.

With over 80 entries, it’s a collection of platforms we’ve found that hit our red flags:

• Failure to abide by US sweepstakes regulations
• Lack of transparency
• Unfair games
• Bonuses too good to be true
• Banking problems
• Bizarre banking policies
• Rip off of popular brands

We can’t review every dodgy site that appears, but we can add them to our blacklist, and we recommend you bookmark this page as a handy reference for when you’re browsing for new sweeps casinos.

So as this latest wave of scam sites will try and tempt you into signing up and depositing funds, we recommend you steer well clear – you will only be throwing money away.

There are over 100 legitimate sweepstakes casinos out there, so why take the risk? While these may not have Pragmatic Play games, you’ll find equally amazing slots, table games, live dealers, arcade games, scratchcards, and more. These games come from excellent suppliers like Hacksaw Gaming, 3 Oaks Gaming, and Print Studios who serve the sweepstakes casino community across multiple legitimate casinos.

Legit sites also give players the opportunity to play for free without spending a cent via free GC and SC bonuses. There’s even the chance to redeem your SC winnings into real cash prizes.

Put simply, we recommend you check out the reviews here on SweepsKings to find your next casino to sign up at!
