Rake Review: US Sweepstakes Version of Rake.com
Rake (rake.us) is a sweepstakes social casino operated by Rake Gaming Ltd.launched in 2025. It is positioned as the US-market alternative to Rake.com, which operates in offshore markets. We tested the platform in February 2026. The dual-currency system uses Gold Coins (GC) for social play and Sweeps Coins (SC) for redeemable prizes, the standard sweepstakes model.
As of February 2026, this platform has limited publicly available data. Specific bonus amounts, game counts, and redemption terms are not confirmed in available sources. We note that limitation explicitly throughout this review.
Rake Bonuses and Free Player Path
The signup bonus credits free Gold Coins and Sweeps Coins on account creation, no purchase required. The first purchase delivers a discounted first Gold Coin bundle with bonus Sweeps Coins. The daily login adds free GC and SC.
Specific amounts for each are not published in available data as of February 2026. Unlike the other platforms in this review set where exact SC values are confirmed (e.g.Pulsz Bingo's 2.3 SC, Poly Casino's 2 SC, Rainbow's End's 0.5 SC), Rake's specific values are not confirmed.
The cost-per-SC math required for purchase evaluation cannot be run without confirmed package amounts. Players comparing Rake to QuestPlay (75 SC for $9.99), Poly Casino (64 SC for $5), or RadPoker (1 SC for $10) will need to check rake.us directly for current package pricing.
No VIP program details are published. No referral program documented.
Games and Providers
Game count is not confirmed in available data. The platform covers slots and live dealer game types, consistent with the Rake.com product model. Game providers expected at launch: Relax Gaming, 3 Oaks Gaming, and Playson.
Relax Gaming is a strong provider presence, they power high-quality slots across multiple established sweepstakes platforms including Pulsz Bingo. 3 Oaks Gaming is a solid mid-tier studio. Playson appears across multiple platforms in this review batch.
For context on what these providers deliver: Relax Gaming's catalog includes Deadwood, Money Train 2, and Laser Fruit, popular titles in the European-origin sweepstakes pipeline. The specific Relax Gaming titles available at rake.us are not confirmed in available data.
No total game count is published. Without a count, catalog depth comparison to Playtana (1,500) or Punt (1,300+) isn't possible.
Platform Features
No dedicated mobile app. Browser-based, mobile-optimized experience modeled after Rake.com's dark-themed interface. No download required.
The dark-themed interface is documented, Rake.com uses a dark UI that positions it differently from the bright social-casino aesthetic most sweepstakes platforms use. For players who prefer that visual presentation, rake.us maintains the brand design language.
A crypto-focused payment model is expected, following Rake.com's approach with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and more. Crypto payment acceptance in a sweepstakes context is unusual, most platforms use credit/debit cards and ACH. If confirmed at full launch, crypto purchase options would differentiate rake.us from most of the field.
Payment method details for the sweepstakes model aren't fully confirmed in available data.
Banking and Redemptions
Payout time estimate: 24-72 hours (varies by platform). Minimum redemption: not published in available data.
Redemption methods are not documented. The 24-72 hour window is an estimate, not a confirmed published rate.
Washington, Idaho, and Nevada are likely excluded based on standard sweepstakes restrictions for this operator profile, but this is not confirmed, it's a projection from the talking points.
Customer Support
Support channels are not documented in available data for rake.us as of February 2026. No live chat, no support email, no phone number confirmed.
Given the pre-full-launch status of the platform, support infrastructure documentation would be limited regardless.
Trust and Legitimacy
Rake is operated by Rake Gaming Ltd., a disclosed corporate entity. The operator is publicly identified, which meets our baseline requirement. The parent platform (Rake.com) has operated in offshore gambling markets, which provides brand recognition but also means the US sweepstakes model is a different regulatory context from Rake.com's offshore gambling license.
Launched 2025. As of February 2026, the platform appears to be in a limited-launch or pre-full-launch phase. No BBB profile confirmed. No Trustpilot data identified. No regulatory actions or C&D letters on record. Community redemption data is effectively zero.
Sweepstakes platforms don't require gaming licenses, they operate under US sweepstakes law. Rake.com's offshore license doesn't transfer or apply to rake.us's model, and the absence of a gaming license for rake.us is expected and normal, not a flag.
State Availability
Rake.us appears to target most US states, with Washington, Idaho, and Nevada likely excluded based on standard sweepstakes restrictions for operators in this profile. These exclusions are not confirmed in published terms, they are projected from the talking points context. Check the current Terms and Conditions at rake.us before registering.
Age requirement: 18+.
Responsible Gambling
Responsible gambling tools are not documented in available data for rake.us as of February 2026. No self-exclusion options, purchase limits, or cooling-off periods are confirmed.
If gambling is causing problems, call the National Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-800-522-4700 or visit ncpgambling.org.
Is Rake Worth It?
Rake.us is in an early operational phase as of February 2026. The brand name carries recognition from Rake.com, which has an established offshore presence. The expected provider lineup, Relax Gaming, 3 Oaks Gaming, Playson, is a solid foundation. The dark-themed interface and expected crypto payment support differentiate it from the bright-branded, card-payment sweepstakes majority.
For players who followed Rake.com from offshore markets and want a US-legal alternative with the same brand, rake.us is the logical destination once fully launched. For players comparing active platforms with confirmed bonus amounts and community redemption data, the platforms with published terms (Pulsz Bingo, Playtana, Punt, Real Prize) offer more to evaluate before committing.
Check rake.us directly for current bonus amounts, game count, and redemption terms, those specifics weren't confirmed in available data at review time.
