Unnamed Sources Policy
We are committed to providing our readers with accurate, reliable, and trustworthy information. As part of this commitment, we strive to be as transparent as possible about our sources of information.
In general, we avoid using unnamed or anonymous sources in our content. We believe that naming sources, whenever possible, is essential for establishing credibility and accountability.
However, we recognize that there may be rare situations where an unnamed source is necessary, such as when a source may face retribution or harm for speaking publicly. In these cases, we adhere to the following guidelines:
- The information provided by the unnamed source must be essential to the story and not available through other named sources.
- We will independently verify the information provided by the unnamed source through other reliable channels.
- We will disclose to our readers that we are using an unnamed source and provide as much context as possible about why the source has requested anonymity.
- The use of unnamed sources must be approved by a senior editor who will assess the credibility of the source and the necessity of using an unnamed source.
- Even with unnamed sources, we will not publish rumor, speculation, or other unverifiable information.
We understand that the use of unnamed sources can undermine reader trust, and so we use them sparingly and only when absolutely necessary. Our commitment is always to provide our readers with accurate, reliable information from transparent and accountable sources.
Advertising and Sponsorship Policy
As a website, OnlySweeps may feature advertising or sponsored content. However, we maintain a strict firewall between our editorial content and any advertising or sponsored content.
Our editorial team operates independently from our business and advertising operations. Advertisers and sponsors have no influence over our editorial content, including our reviews, rankings, and recommendations.
Any advertising or sponsored content on our site will be clearly distinguished from editorial content and labeled as such, in accordance with guidelines from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Affiliate Disclosure and Business Model
OnlySweeps participates in affiliate marketing programs with some of the sweepstakes casinos we review. If a reader signs up for a casino through a link on our site, we may receive a commission.
However, our participation in affiliate programs does not influence our editorial content in any way. Our reviews, rankings, and recommendations are based solely on our honest assessments and are not driven by affiliate relationships.
We only recommend casinos that we believe are trustworthy and provide a quality player experience, regardless of any affiliate partnership. If we have concerns about a casino, we will voice those concerns even if we have an affiliate relationship.
Diversity Policy
We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential to our mission of providing the most trusted and authoritative information about sweepstakes casinos. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and to reflecting that diversity in our content and perspectives.
Our commitment to diversity extends to all aspects of diversity, including but not limited to:
- Race and ethnicity
- Gender and gender identity
- Sexual orientation
- Age
- Disability status
- Veteran status
- Socioeconomic background
We strive to:
- Maintain a diverse team of writers, editors, and experts who bring a range of perspectives and experiences to our work.

If we make a significant correction to a published article, we will clearly note the correction at the top or bottom of the article, detailing what was corrected and when.
We also regularly review and update our content to ensure it remains current and accurate. Articles will display a “Last Updated” date to indicate when they were last reviewed for accuracy.

Commitment to Responsible Gambling
While we are passionate about sweepstakes casinos, we recognize that gambling can become harmful if not approached responsibly. We are committed to promoting responsible gambling and providing resources to help players manage their gambling activities.
Some of the ways we promote responsible gambling include:
- Providing information on responsible gambling practices and warning signs of problem gambling.
- Linking to reputable organizations that provide support for problem gamblers, such as the National Council on Problem Gambling.
- Encouraging players to set limits on their gambling activity and to never gamble more than they can afford to lose.
- Not promoting gambling as a solution to financial problems or a guaranteed way to make money.
We believe that gambling should always be approached as a form of entertainment, not as a source of income.
