Most sweepstakes rankings are assembled from operator press material. The numbers in them are real in the sense that somebody typed them, but nobody checked whether the coins arrived, how long the floor took to reach, or whether the cashier paid. This notebook exists because those three things are the whole experience for a new account.

How the work is done

We open a real account, verify it with real documents, and play only routes that cost nothing. When the balance reaches the operator minimum we file a withdrawal at that floor and time it to funds received. Then the card gets written, including the parts an operator would rather we left out.

Rules we keep

• Play money is never counted as value
• Purchase-linked bonuses never appear in a welcome figure
• A commercial relationship never moves a card
• No clock is published that we did not measure ourselves
• A promotional estimate is never presented as a measured day count

Who it is for

Someone opening a first sweepstakes account who wants to know what arrives, what it takes to clear, and how long the money takes. Not high volume players, not affiliates, and not anyone hunting for a system.

Corrections

If a figure is wrong, or an operator has changed its package, floor or payment process, write in and the card gets re-tested rather than quietly edited.
