Lucky Stars Overview
Lucky Stars is no longer operational. As of late 2025, the site has been discontinued after roughly six months of activity, making it one of the shortest-lived sweepstakes casinos we've tracked. Operated by SWPMTECH LTD on the Sweepium white-label platform, Lucky Stars launched in May 2025 and was available in 40+ US states before going dark. The sister site JuicyPopSlots, also run on the Sweepium platform, was shut down around the same time, with Trustpilot reviews from that platform's players reporting unredeemed payouts.
This review exists as a historical record for players searching for Lucky Stars and as a reference point in our sweepstakes casino rankings. We don't recommend signing up or making purchases because the site no longer exists. If you landed here looking for a place to play, skip to our active alternatives at the end.
Platform Features
During its brief run, Lucky Stars operated on the standard sweepstakes dual-currency model with Gold Coins for free play and Sweeps Coins redeemable for cash prizes. The platform ran entirely in-browser with no dedicated mobile app, which put it behind competitors like Chumba and Pulsz that offer native apps. Purchases were limited to Visa and Mastercard only, excluding crypto, PayPal, and Apple Pay options available at Stake US, WOW Vegas, and other competing platforms.
The mail-in alternative method of entry was available for 3 SC per qualifying request, as required under US sweepstakes law (the no-purchase-necessary rule that governs all legitimate sweepstakes casinos in the United States). State availability covered 40+ states (approximately 80% of US states), excluding 10 states: AL, CA, CT, ID, KY, LA, MI, MT, NV, and WA. That coverage was roughly in line with what we see from most sweepstakes operators.
Games & Providers
Lucky Stars stocked 600+ titles from 33 providers at the time of its closure, with a live dealer section that outpaced most sweepstakes competitors. According to archived platform data from the site's May to November 2025 operational window, the provider roster spanned 33 studios, a respectable count for a 2025 launch. The provider roster included tier-1 studios like NetEnt, Evolution, Yggdrasil, Big Time Gaming, Hacksaw Gaming, and Nolimit City alongside mid-tier names like BGaming, Red Tiger, Relax Gaming, and Playson.
Per archived site data, the standout differentiator was the live dealer section. Lucky Stars offered 20+ live tables from Evolution and VivoGaming, putting it ahead of many sweepstakes competitors. For context, LuckyLand Slots and Golden Hearts don't offer live dealer games at all. High 5 Casino and Fortune Coins have limited live options compared to what Lucky Stars had. Moozi and Legendz have been building out their live dealer selections, but Lucky Stars launched with a more complete offering.
Based on the platform's game lobby at time of operation, categories were limited to slots and live dealer, with no standalone RNG table games for blackjack or roulette outside the live section. That's a gap compared to platforms like Modo and SpinQuest that offer a broader category spread.
Bonuses & Promotions
As of 2025, these bonuses are no longer available since the site is shut down. We document them here for reference.
The welcome bonus was 100K GC + 3 SC. No purchase required, credited automatically after registration. No promo code needed. on sign-up with no promo code required. When we ran the numbers against the field, that 3 SC no-deposit offer fell below the market average, according to our database of 40+ active sweepstakes casino welcome bonuses. Stake US gives 25 SC on sign-up. WOW Vegas offers 4.5 SC. Chumba provides 2 SC. So Lucky Stars sat near the bottom of the pack on initial value.
The first purchase bonus delivered 350K GC + 15 SC for $0. 150% bonus offer on first purchase, which was competitive but not class-leading. The daily login bonus of 20K GC + 0.2 SC. Login every 24 hours to claim every 24 hours worked out to roughly $6/month in potential SC value, among the lowest daily claim rates in the sweepstakes space. Compare that to Fortune Coins or Pulsz, which offer more generous daily claims.
Per the site's published promotional terms, one genuinely unique perk was the birthday bonus of 150,000 GC + 5 SC. Not many sweepstakes casinos offer birthday-specific rewards. Combined with dailies, passive earning potential came to roughly $78/year, though reaching the 100 SC minimum for cash redemption on daily bonuses alone would have taken around 500 days.
The 1x playthrough requirement on promotional SC was the most player-friendly wagering term possible. That matched the lowest tier in the sweepstakes market and meant players could redeem SC after wagering them just once, putting Lucky Stars ahead of platforms with 3x or higher playthrough requirements like Funrize and Spree.
Banking & Redemptions
According to the platform's banking page at time of operation, purchase options were limited to Visa and Mastercard. No crypto, no PayPal, no Apple Pay. That's a significant limitation compared to Stake US and NoLimit Coins, which support crypto payments, or WOW Vegas, which accepts a wider range of methods.
Redemption options included bank transfers (2-7 business days) and gift cards (24-48 hours). The minimum cash redemption was 100 SC ($100 equivalent), with a lower 50 SC ($50) threshold for gift cards. That $100 minimum was on the higher side. Sportzino and Sweep Jungle offer lower minimums for cash redemptions.
Per the site's published redemption terms, daily caps sat at 9,550 SC per day, and any withdrawal over $2,000 triggered additional identity verification. As of 2025, these banking details are historical since no transactions can be processed on the defunct platform.
Editorial Verdict
Lucky Stars had the building blocks of a competitive sweepstakes casino: 600+ games from 33 providers, 20+ live dealer tables, and a 1x playthrough requirement that matched the best terms in the industry. But the platform lasted roughly six months before shutting down, and the Sweepium platform's track record raises red flags. The JuicyPopSlots shutdown and Trustpilot reports of unredeemed payouts from that sister site suggest this wasn't a clean exit.
Our recommendation: skip Lucky Stars (you can't play there anyway) and look at established, active platforms with proven track records spanning 2+ years. Chumba has years of proven payout history. Pulsz and WOW Vegas offer larger game libraries with dedicated mobile apps. Legendz and Jackpota are strong newer options with growing track records. Tao Fortune and Fliff Social round out the alternatives worth considering if you want variety in the sweepstakes space.
