Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about SweepFeed, sweepstakes, quality scoring, and DustBunnies rewards.
General
What is SweepFeed?
SweepFeed is an AI-powered sweepstakes aggregator that uses machine learning to verify, score, and recommend legitimate sweepstakes from over 50 sources. Our platform scans the web hourly to find the best contests and giveaways, presenting them in a personalized feed with quality scores so you can enter confidently.
Is SweepFeed free to use?
Yes, SweepFeed offers a free tier that provides access to all sweepstakes listings and 10 daily entries. We also offer SweepFeed Pro ($7.99/mo) with unlimited entries (fair use policy applies), ad-free experience, DustBunnies multipliers, and advanced features like AI inbox and priority contest alerts.
How does SweepFeed make money?
SweepFeed generates revenue through premium subscriptions, non-intrusive advertising on the free tier, and partnerships with sweepstakes sponsors. We never charge entry fees — every sweepstakes on our platform is completely free to enter. A portion of ad revenue is donated to charities through our Every.org integration.
Trust & Safety
Are the sweepstakes on SweepFeed legitimate?
Yes. Every sweepstakes listed on SweepFeed goes through our AI-powered verification process. We check for official rules, sponsor legitimacy, compliance with US sweepstakes laws, and red flags like purchase requirements or requests for sensitive information. Each listing receives a quality score from 0-100.
How does SweepFeed verify sweepstakes are real?
Our ML-powered verification system analyzes over 20 factors including: sponsor reputation and business legitimacy, presence of official rules and eligibility requirements, entry method analysis for red flags, prize value verification, compliance with FTC guidelines, and community reports. Sweepstakes scoring 80+ are considered high-quality.
Are online sweepstakes legit in general?
Many online sweepstakes are legitimate, especially those from recognizable brands. Legitimate sweepstakes never require payment to enter, have clear official rules, specify eligibility requirements, and announce winners publicly. Red flags include requests for payment, sensitive personal data (SSN, bank info), or pressure to act immediately. That's why using a verified aggregator like SweepFeed is safer than searching on your own.
Features & Scoring
How does SweepFeed's quality scoring work?
Our AI-powered quality scoring algorithm analyzes over 20 factors including sponsor reputation, prize value relative to market, entry requirements, official rules clarity, winner announcement transparency, and user feedback. Sweepstakes receive a score from 0-100: 90+ is Excellent, 80-89 is Very Good, 70-79 is Good, and below 70 is Fair.
How often are sweepstakes listings updated?
Our AI crawlers scan over 50 sweepstakes sources every hour to find new opportunities and update existing listings. This means you always have access to the latest sweepstakes with accurate end dates, entry counts, and quality scores. Expired sweepstakes are automatically removed from the active feed.
Can I filter sweepstakes by category or prize type?
Yes. SweepFeed offers filtering by category (Cash, Electronics, Travel, Gift Cards, Vehicles, Food & Drink, and more), sorting by quality score, prize value, ending date, or newest. You can also search by title, sponsor, or prize description. Premium users get additional smart filters and personalized recommendations.
DustBunnies & Rewards
What are DustBunnies?
DustBunnies are SweepFeed's in-app reward currency. You earn DustBunnies by entering sweepstakes (+5 DB each), maintaining daily streaks (+10 DB/day), referring friends (+150 DB), and engaging with the platform. Spend them on advanced search filters, exclusive sweepstakes entries, and premium features.
How does the charity feature work?
During onboarding, you select charities you care about. When you use SweepFeed's free tier, your ad views generate real donations to those charities through our partnership with Every.org. Every view counts — your engagement on the platform directly supports the causes you care about.
How can I increase my chances of winning sweepstakes?
To maximize your chances: enter daily sweepstakes consistently (use SweepFeed's daily feed), focus on contests with fewer entries or multiple prizes, set up a dedicated sweepstakes email, follow all entry rules precisely, and use SweepFeed's quality scoring to prioritize high-quality opportunities. Consistency is key — entering 30 sweepstakes daily for a month beats 500 in one day.
