How SweepFeed Generates Revenue
SweepFeed offers a free tier and plans to support it with advertising revenue once that revenue begins. Here is how advertising may affect the content you see.
Paid listings
A sponsor may pay for enhanced visibility or placement. Every paid listing is labeled Sponsored on the card and detail experience so it can be distinguished from organic results. "Featured" alone is not used as the disclosure of payment.
Payment may affect placement or visibility, but it cannot buy better evidence or confidence labels, suppress factual corrections, risk warnings, or legitimate user reports, keep an expired listing active, or prevent quarantine or removal.
Google display ads
When SweepFeed's Google AdSense site is approved, Google display ads may appear on reviewed articles under /blog and /guides. SweepFeed currently uses no other third-party display network. Blog and guide indexes, contest browsing, listing cards, and listing details carry no Google ad units. Google units are marked Advertisements. First-party offers on the board are marked Advertisement so they are not mistaken for contests.
Google's program policies prohibit encouraging people to click ads. You must not click ads to earn rewards, to "support SweepFeed," or because someone asked you to. Ordinary ad views do not create DustBunnies.
Affiliate Relationships
Some links may contain an affiliate identifier. SweepFeed may receive a commission if you complete an identified partner action. We disclose a material relationship close to the affected content. An affiliate link does not add a fee to the sponsor's promotion.
Evidence Independence
Evidence labels, factual corrections, expiration status, and user-report handling operate independently of advertising and affiliate relationships. A sponsor cannot buy stronger rules evidence or prevent a correction or removal.
Measuring sponsor outcomes
When you allow advertising measurement and click a participating web ad, SweepFeed may add a random click reference to the sponsor's destination link. The reference contains no name, email address, or account profile. The sponsor can return it from its server to report one completed action within seven days. This is the sponsor's report, not SweepFeed's verification of a purchase or sweepstakes entry. Sponsors receive totals, not your SweepFeed profile, private prize follow-up record, or rules watch.
Expired click references are removed by scheduled cleanup; aggregate campaign totals remain available. Optional measurement follows your advertising consent, account privacy choices, and Global Privacy Control. Use Privacy Settings or Privacy Choices to manage these uses. The sponsor's own privacy policy applies after you leave SweepFeed.
In-App Advertising
The free tier may display clearly separated ads, including web display ads today and mobile ads if mobile apps launch. Ads are never disguised as organic listings. Consumer paid plans are retired; if an ad-free paid option launches later, we will describe that benefit before purchase.
DustBunnies Virtual Currency & Shop
DustBunnies (DB) are non-monetary in-app loyalty points. Only the server-accepted events and limits published in the DustBunnies Rewards Terms can create a balance. Ordinary ad views do not create DustBunnies. SweepFeed does not currently offer web-only DustBunny payouts for ad impressions, clicks, animations, or redirects. DustBunnies may be spent on currently supported cosmetics, temporary passes, and shop features. They cannot be exchanged for cash or donated.
Business research
New Data Intelligence sales are paused. SweepFeed is not selling reports derived from individual users' behavior. If business research is offered later, the intended source is crawler and public promotion-inventory data, such as prize categories, promotion duration, rules availability, and link health.
Ad-Supported Model
SweepFeed plans to fund its free sweepstakes discovery, rewards, and sponsor-supported features through advertising. It has earned no ad revenue and made no company-funded charity payment as of September 29, 2026. The proposed company-funded charity support program is paused pending legal review; no new support opt-ins or monthly allocations are being accepted. Saving a nonprofit does not create a donation or tax receipt. Every.org direct donations and receipts remain separate. Google ad views and clicks do not add charity activity or change a saved nonprofit choice.
FTC Compliance
SweepFeed aims to make material commercial relationships clear and conspicuous. Paid content uses the visible label "Sponsored" close to the title or first focal content, including on the detail experience.
No effect on a promotion
Creating an account, viewing or clicking advertisements, buying a SweepFeed product or service, earning or spending DustBunnies, maintaining a streak, joining a leaderboard, referring another user, selecting a charity, or interacting with sponsored content does not submit an entry, improve your odds, or affect a sponsor's winner-selection process.
