The Desk

Why This Ledger Exists

A small review desk that funds its own accounts, files its own withdrawals, and prints the clock.

About The Desk

Who we are

Most sweepstakes casino rankings are assembled from operator press material. The numbers in them are real in the sense that somebody wrote them down, but nobody checked whether the coins arrived, how long the floor took to reach, or whether the cashier paid. This desk exists because those three things are the entire experience for a new player and almost nobody was measuring them.

How we work

We open a real account, verify it with real documents, and play only the routes that cost nothing. When the balance reaches the operator minimum we file a withdrawal immediately, at the floor, and we time it to funds received. Then we write down what happened, including the parts that are unflattering.

What we will not do

  • Count Gold Coins as value, because they cannot be redeemed.
  • Include purchase-linked bonuses in a welcome figure.
  • Move a ledger position because of a commercial relationship.
  • Publish a payout time we did not personally measure.
  • Present a promotional estimate as a clearance time.

Who this is for

Someone considering their first sweepstakes account who wants to know what actually arrives and how long the money takes. Not high volume players, not affiliates, and not anyone looking for a system. There is no system. There are eighteen operators with measurable differences, and this desk records them.

IndependenceSome outbound links are commercial. Figures are recorded before any link exists and are never adjusted afterwards. Where an operator performed badly, the review says so with the number attached.

Corrections

If a figure here is wrong, or an operator has changed its package or floor, tell us and we will re-test rather than edit around it. Corrections are made to the measurement, with the sweep month updated.
