Getting Started
After reading our Getting Started guide, the next step is determining your starting bankroll. Your starting bankroll changes the approach you take to complete all the sign-up offers. This guide contains two methods, one for bankrolls over $6,000 (large) and one for under $6,000 (standard). Selecting your starting bankroll size below adjusts the recommended order for completing the sign-up offers and helps optimize your profit.
Standard bankrolls: Start with the smaller sign-up offers to build your bankroll. Then move to DraftKings followed by the larger sign-up offers.
Large Bankrolls: Start with DraftKings and maximize the 20% deposit match. Then use DraftKings to hedge other signup offers. This will often results in their VIP team contacting you which leads to larger and more profitable offers. If you have a bankroll over $10,000 consider immediately going after VIP status. Read our guides on Becoming a VIP.
The introductory bonuses provided below are just the beginning. Each sportsbook offers regular promotions that could potentially amount to several hundred dollars per month, and if you attain VIP status, the benefits could be even greater.

When profiting from sweepstake casino signup offers, it’s essential to understand a few basic principles. Unlike traditional online casinos, sweepstake casinos operate legally by allowing you to play with virtual currencies (like "Sweeps Coins") that can later be redeemed for cash prizes. The key to reliably making money from these offers lies in focusing only on those with positive expected value (+EV), meaning that over the long run, they statistically yield profits. Understanding +EV will ensure your choices are mathematically profitable, even if you experience short-term ups and downs due to variance.
Equally important is knowing how to manage your bankroll effectively, carefully reading terms and conditions to avoid common pitfalls, and efficiently converting your virtual winnings into withdrawable cash. Our detailed guides dive deeper into each of these topics, clearly explaining the concepts and strategies you'll need for consistent, sustainable profits. We strongly recommend reviewing these guides before diving into the signup offers listed below.
