SweepsKings is updating our blacklist database to reflect recent operator shutdowns and other changes across the sweepstakes casino market.
Over the past few months, many shady platforms have gone dark, entered permanent maintenance, or abandoned their sweeps models entirely. In the case of those casinos that were on our blacklist, this is a good thing.
There are also some mid-tier brands that have closed. While better than shady blacklisted sites, these aren’t particularly massive losses for the sweeps community.
Below is a summary of all the changes we’ve seen recently.
Recently Closed Shady Sweepstakes Sites
- CosmoSlots & BoomWins: Operated by LGT Development LLC and LGT Venture LLC respectively, both sites spent over three months hiding behind fake system updates and maintenance walls. Both are now marked as closed.
- GameDayZone: Operated by MGD Entertainment LLC, GameDayZone stopped paying players, affiliates, and staff in April 2026 before placing a generic maintenance screen over its homepage.
- WinWin Sweeps: WinWin Sweeps (Win Win Ecommerce LLC) went dark with a DNS error just months after launching.
- Gambly.Casino: Gambly Casino (North Star Advisory LLC) went completely offline in October 2026 or before.
- SlotPlay: SlotPlay previously pushed false claims of an affiliation with B-Two but had pulled their website when we checked in November.
- GoldNLuck: Operated by Item Solutions LLC, GoldNLuck quietly removed its initial claims of being tied to MW Services (WOW Vegas) before pulling its social casino entirely. The domain now functions as an affiliate site redirecting traffic to offshore real-money casinos.
- Ocean King: Operating without a clear registered corporate entity, Ocean King attempted to escape its poor reputation by rebranding into Goldiplay. Changing the name does not change the operation, so avoid Goldiplay entirely.
UptownSweeps Added to Blacklist
- UptownSweeps: This site operates under a dual-entity setup with tgt Group Ltd. and HNA Gaming B.V. Unfortunately, the issues we noted a few months ago in our review are still present. For example, it still links to outside platforms and hosts games that it shouldn’t, so we’re adding it to our blacklist. Its sister site, GoldieCity got an instant blacklist from us upon launching.
Recently Closed Mid-Tier Sweepstakes Sites
- SpinsAmerica & Spin4America: SpinsAmerica, co-owned by AppGreat EU SRL and National Sweepstakes Group LLC, developed a history of severe redemption delays before Spin4America was launched as something of a sister site. Both sites have collapsed entirely, returning standard Cloudflare errors now.
- SweepBetz: Owned by Brandi Marketing, LLC, the site has been locked in maintenance since before summer 2026. The team continues to blast promotional emails to subscribers despite the gaming infrastructure being completely offline.
- SlotsaGifts: SlotsaGifts (702 Partners LLC) reverted to a locked development stage in November 2026, throwing up an admin password requirement over the homepage.
- SweepFan: SweepFan (MAJIG Limited) reverted to a similar state too, though its sister site, Spinzamo currently remains online.
- SpinWorld: Operated by Broadsword LLC, SpinWorld officially shut down on October 15, 2026. It provided a redemption grace period, and uncollected balances could still be available – try emailing support@spinworld.com.
- Lunar Luck: Operating under Lunar Luck LTD as a Moonspin white-label, the platform hit a permanent DNS error by November 2026 after months of maintenance. Management said that all active Sweeps Coins redemptions were fully cleared prior to closing.
getZOOT.us Casino Is Closing on 30 November
Zoot Casino was never a brand we tracked particularly closely. However, we recently noticed that it had expanded its Originals library with over 1,000 third-party games and introduced fresh promos.
Unfortunately, these additions don’t appear to have helped the brand grow further. Zoot Casino has now announced that it will close on November 30. Gameplay will end on November 20, followed by redemptions on November 24.
The owners have put out a call for potential buyers on LinkedIn, so there’s still a chance Zoot Casino could return under new ownership in the future.
Summary
Checking our blacklist before signing up anywhere is critical. Many of the platforms mentioned above showed some kind of red flag (unpaid cashouts, fake business details, missing legal terms, etc.) long before going down. Others were just average sweeps casinos that didn’t truly impress us.
While most of the above sites are now marked as closed, plenty of bad operators are still running, so keep an eye on our blacklist to avoid them. On the other hand, check out our full list of sweepstakes casinos or track new launches to find legit, trustworthy sites to play at.
