ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION · SCORES UPDATED EVERY BUILD

The sweepstakes casino network registered to one office in Afton, Wyoming

Funrize, NoLimitCoins, TaoFortune, Mr. Goodwin, JackpotRabbit, SweepShark: they look like unrelated apps with different mascots and different support inboxes. Their own terms of service tell a shorter story. Fifteen brands disclose one of two companies, A1 Development LLC or UTech Solutions LLC, and both companies give the same registered address: 571 S Washington, Afton, Wyoming 83110, a town of about two thousand people in Star Valley. We verified each disclosure on the brands' own sites on July 10, 2026, pulled the Wyoming registry record, read the court dockets, and sent the companies a data request of our own. This page is what came back.

How we know what we know

Everything here is one of four things: a government record we retrieved and dated, a court filing quoted as an allegation with its case status, a Better Business Bureau file with its retrieval date, or something that happened to our own accounts and our own inbox, which we can show. Where a fact comes from a third party we could not independently confirm, we say so and attribute it. Scores, tiers, and review figures on this page are recomputed from our database every time the page builds.

The paper trail

Wyoming's Secretary of State registry, read directly on July 10, 2026, shows A1 Development, LLC as an active domestic LLC, filing ID 2019-000846205, initially filed March 15, 2019, principal office at 571 S Washington in Afton. The registry lists Scott Seedall as the company's organizer and Alpine Company Services LLC, at that same Afton address, as its registered agent. Six live brands name this company in their own terms or footers, and two of them (FortuneWheelz and StormRush) print the filing ID right in the footer.

UTech Solutions LLC is the younger company. The same Wyoming registry, read the same day, shows it as an active domestic LLC, filing ID 2024-001460664, initially filed May 20, 2024, with the same Afton principal office and even the same Afton mailing box (PO Box 880) as A1. Its BBB profile lists Scott Seedall as a member and the business organizer. Nine live brands disclose it, most at the same Afton address (Playtana's footer instead shows a Meridian, Idaho suite that also appears on both companies' BBB files). The same BBB profile carries an alert noting Seedall's affiliation with two further companies, Sweet Innovation LLC and Nickle Tech LLC, through the same registered agent. We already score a brand from each: LuckySlots and Coinz.

On July 11, 2026 we found the address carries more than the BBB alert suggested. LuckySlots' own terms describe Sweet Innovation LLC as "a Wyoming limited liability company having a registered address at 571 S. Washington, Afton, Wyoming 83110," which upgrades that connection from a BBB note to the brand's own first-party disclosure. And a fourth company appears at the address the same way: LuckyOne's terms define the site as Dream Labs Entertainment LLC, "a Wyoming LLC registered 571 S. Washington, Afton, Wyoming 83110." Both terms pages were captured live on July 11, 2026. An address is not ownership, so neither company joins the headline figures; they are listed in their own tier below.

That is the documented shape: two Wyoming LLCs whose own brands disclose them, at one address, with one named organizer; two further companies whose brands disclose the same street address in their own terms; and one more the BBB file links through the shared registered agent. We frame each connection exactly as its source does. A1's organizer, agent, and filing are registry facts, and so is UTech's filing. UTech's member rests on the BBB file, the same-address ties rest on each brand's own terms, and the Nickle Tech tie rests on the BBB alert alone.

Every brand, scored

The table binds to our live database (generated August 24, 2026). Review shares follow the same rule as our complaint index: a brand's share of 1 and 2 star Trustpilot reviews only prints at a 100-review base or better, because a ratio over sixty reviews is noise, even when it looks dramatic.

Across the 14 scored brands that disclose A1 or UTech first-party, the combined public review base is 25,600 Trustpilot reviews, and the volume-weighted share of 1 and 2 star reviews is 19.1%. For scale, the median across every operator in our complaint index is 22.4%. 2 of these brands currently sit in our avoid tier; 0 are in the trusted tier.

One honest gap: the A1 brand FunzCity discloses the same company on its own site, but we have not finished scoring it, so it has no row yet. It gets one when scoring completes, not before.

Three more brands, one evidence tier down

These brands do not disclose A1 or UTech. Each discloses its own company, so none of them counts in the headline figures, and the strength of each tie differs, so we state each one exactly. LuckySlots' terms place its company, Sweet Innovation LLC, at the same 571 S Washington registered address (first-party disclosure, captured July 11, 2026, matching the Wyoming registry record we pulled July 10 and the BBB alert above). LuckyOne's terms place its company, Dream Labs Entertainment LLC, at the same address the same way (first-party disclosure, captured July 11, 2026); we have not yet pulled its registry record, and no BBB alert names it. Coinz's company, Nickle Tech LLC, is linked only by the BBB alert's shared-registered-agent note: searches of the Wyoming and Idaho registries on July 10, 2026 returned no record under that name, which may simply mean it is registered in another state. An address is not ownership; different LLCs at one address are connected only to the extent each document says. We will update this section as the registry work completes.

Update, July 17, 2026: a sixth company name, and four brands go coins-only

Two additions from a re-verification pass on July 17, 2026. First, Spintime, a July 2026 launch at spintime.app, names CGS Group, LLC of Columbia, South Carolina in its terms of use, while its own California privacy notice names UTech Solutions LLC at the same 571 S Washington, Afton address as "we" and "Company" (both captured first-party, July 17, 2026). One site, two companies, and the second is the network this page profiles. We list it one evidence tier down until registry work says more. Worth knowing before you deposit: the terms link on Spintime's own site is broken, and no sweeps rules, mail-in entry route, or redemption terms are published anywhere on it.

Second, four network brands (SweepShark, VegasWay, Scarlet Sands, StormRush) presented as gold-coin-only social casinos when we re-read them on July 17, 2026: no sweeps rules reachable, and terms with no sweepstakes provisions. The award rules quoted below were captured July 10, 2026 and described what those sites published then. If the network switches brands between sweeps mode and coins-only mode, any single brand's published rules may describe a mode it is not currently running; we note the mode on each brand's page as we verify it.

Family pages with per-factor comparisons: all networks, including the A1 Development and UTech Solutions groups.

What regulators and courts have on file

On June 6, 2025, the New York Attorney General announced cease and desist letters to 26 sweepstakes platforms. Five of A1's six brands are on the published list: Funrize, NoLimitCoins, TaoFortune, FunzCity, and Fortune Wheelz. On December 29, 2025, the Tennessee Attorney General announced the same kind of letters to roughly forty platforms, and all six A1 brands appear. Both actions name platforms, not parent companies, so neither press release mentions A1 Development by name.

In federal court, A1 Development LLC is the named defendant in four consumer suits we located on the dockets: Hester v. A1 Development LLC (N.D. Alabama, 3:25-cv-01234), Portugal v. A1 Development LLC (N.D. California, 3:25-cv-06505, filed August 1, 2025), Klein v. A1 Development LLC (N.D. Ohio, 5:25-cv-01999, filed September 19, 2025), and Salgado v. A1 Development, LLC (E.D. New York, 2:25-cv-06061, filed October 29, 2025). Hester, Portugal, and Klein were filed as class actions; the Salgado complaint sits behind the court's paywall, so we have not read it and do not characterize it. Trade press also reported A1, as NoLimitCoins' operator, among the defendants in a wave of Utah federal suits filed in early November 2025. The complaints we have read allege that the dual-currency model amounts to illegal gambling; the defendants contest this, and no court has ruled on the merits. Allegations are not findings.

Where those cases stand is its own consumer fact. As of July 20, 2026, none of them is moving toward a class trial. In the consolidated Alabama litigation that includes Hester (lead case Mills v. Playtika Holding Corp., 3:25-cv-01121), the court denied the plaintiffs' motions to remand on January 20, 2026, stayed the cases under the Federal Arbitration Act pending arbitration, and administratively closed them; the Eleventh Circuit denied the plaintiffs' petitions for permission to appeal on February 19, 2026. In Klein, the court denied A1's motion to dismiss but granted its motion to compel individual arbitration on May 15, 2026, staying the case and requiring status reports every 90 days. In Portugal, after A1 moved to compel arbitration and to dismiss, the parties filed a joint stipulation and the court entered an order terminating the case on March 5, 2026; that order is not publicly posted, so we cannot say on what terms the case ended. Salgado's docket shows a stay entered in March 2026 followed by a statistical closing on March 16, 2026, with the underlying orders available only on PACER. None of this says who would have won. What the dockets do show, in the two cases whose orders we can read, is that players who tried to sue as a group were sent to private, one-on-one arbitration under the operator's own terms of service.

Here is the pattern worth noticing, stated only as far as the records go. Every attorney general letter and every lawsuit we found lands on brands disclosed by the 2019 company, A1 Development. We found no suit and no published regulator action naming UTech Solutions, the May 2024 company, or any of its nine brands. Newer brands have had less time to accumulate legal history, and absence from the indexes we searched is not proof that nothing exists. The two lists sit side by side above; read them however you think the evidence supports.

We asked them for our own data. Here is what happened.

BonusBandit holds real-money test accounts across this network, so in March 2026 we exercised the data-access rights that California's CCPA and Colorado's CPA give consumers, and asked for our own transaction and redemption records across every UTech and A1 property.

Nine privacy-designated email addresses bounced with "550 address not found," including office@utechsolutionsllc.com, the contact published on UTech's own corporate site, and privacy@jackpotrabbit.com, the contact published in JackpotRabbit's own privacy policy. The same domains' marketing addresses work fine: our test accounts received more than twenty promotional emails from Fire Sevens, Sweepico, Scarlet Sands, and SweepShark in the first ten days of July 2026 alone. On March 5, 2026 we sent one consolidated request to eleven brand support inboxes, the only channel that would accept mail.

One brand answered. On June 3, 2026, ninety days after the request (both statutes give companies 45 days), JackpotRabbit support replied: no data export, an instruction to "access, screenshot, or copy these records directly from the platform," a statement that "we do not provide 1099 or any other tax forms," and a demand for a photo of our researcher holding his ID and a sheet of paper with the date before anything more. The other thirteen brands we contacted had not responded as of July 10, 2026, 127 days after the request.

The reply itself carried one more fact. It arrived from a helpdesk hosted at funrizesupport.zendesk.com. JackpotRabbit is a UTech brand; Funrize is A1's flagship. A UTech brand answering from a Funrize-named support system is direct, documented evidence that the two companies' brands share operational infrastructure. We keep the emails, the bounce notices, and the headers on file.

On taxes, one line of information, not advice: most sweepstakes operators send no tax form, but redemptions are generally still reportable income. Rules and thresholds change; talk to a CPA. Our tax-forms explainer covers what the thresholds actually are.

The rule that caps free-play winnings at $25

Both companies' brands advertise free ways to play: daily login bonuses, wheel spins, giveaway contests, missions. Their own award rules put a ceiling on what any of it can ever pay. Section 7 of the Funrize Award Rules, retrieved July 10, 2026, reads:

"Winnings derived from gameplay using Promotional Entries obtained through methods (b) through (f) above shall be eligible for redemption only up to an aggregate value of US $25.00 per User Account. ... Any winnings in excess of specified limits derived from such Promotional Entries shall not be considered eligible for redemption and may be removed from the User Account or otherwise adjusted at Sponsor's sole discretion."

Methods (b) through (f) are all of the free routes. Referral winnings cap at $50 under the same section, and entries received as a bonus on a purchase are not named in the cap at all. The same document sets the minimum redemption at $25, which means the most a free player can ever cash out equals the smallest amount the platform will pay, exactly once. Win $100 from a free spin and the rules say the extra $75 "may be removed."

We read the identical clause, word for word except the name of the coin, on five of the network's brands on July 10, 2026: Funrize (sponsor: A1 Development LLC) and JackpotRabbit, Scarlet Sands, DexyPlay, and Sweepico (sponsor: UTech Solutions LLC). Two separately incorporated companies publishing the same legal template is one more observed link between them. The other brands keep their award rules behind a login or a dead link, so we mark them unverified rather than assumed; NoLimitCoins reviewers, though, describe the same outcome in public reviews ("won $100... I was only paid $25"), and a complaint on UTech's BBB record dated this year reads "Won 281SC, they gave me a $50 refund, $25 jackpot and erased the rest."

The same rules documents set a $100 daily redemption maximum, one redemption request per five days, up to 30 days of processing, and note that prizes of $600 or more may arrive split into multiple payments. None of this is hidden, exactly. It is in the rules the sites publish. It is also not on the promotional banners, which is why we quote it here.

The BBB files

Retrieved July 10, 2026: A1 Development LLC holds an F rating with 70 complaints in the last three years, 68 of them unanswered. UTech Solutions LLC also holds an F, with 24 complaints in three years, 23 unanswered, plus a "Pattern of Complaints" alert and a May 2026 BBB inquiry about advertising claims on JackpotRabbit.com that the company had not answered as of June 9, 2026. Complaint counts change; check the profiles for current figures. The recurring themes in those complaints (redemptions cancelled after review, verification loops, balances that vanish at cashout) match the themes our own complaint index mines from public reviews.

If you play on any of these brands

None of this tells you a specific cashout will fail. It tells you what the record looks like when the network's brands are read together instead of one app at a time. Practical steps: check the brand's row above and its full trust-score page before depositing, keep redemptions small and frequent instead of letting a balance build, complete identity verification before you have winnings at stake, and screenshot anything unusual when it happens. Availability varies by state; check the legality tracker, especially since the New York and Tennessee letters above changed what these brands offer there.

Questions people ask

Who owns Funrize?

Funrize's own terms of service disclose A1 Development LLC, 571 S Washington, Afton, Wyoming 83110 as its owner and operator. Wyoming Secretary of State records show A1 Development LLC as an active domestic LLC, filing ID 2019-000846205, initially filed March 15, 2019, with Scott Seedall listed as organizer.

Who owns Mr. Goodwin, JackpotRabbit, and SweepShark?

Each of those sites discloses UTech Solutions LLC at the same Afton, Wyoming address in its terms or footer. Wyoming Secretary of State records show UTech Solutions LLC as an active domestic LLC, filing ID 2024-001460664, initially filed May 20, 2024. Its Better Business Bureau profile lists Scott Seedall as a member and the business organizer.

Are Funrize and Mr. Goodwin the same company?

They disclose different LLCs, A1 Development and UTech Solutions, at the same street address. When we sent a data request to UTech brands, the one reply we received came from a helpdesk hosted at funrizesupport.zendesk.com, a support system named for A1's flagship. We publish that observation as documented evidence of shared infrastructure, not as a corporate filing.

Is Funrize being sued?

A1 Development LLC, which discloses itself as Funrize's operator, has been a defendant in federal consumer suits in Alabama, California, Ohio, and New York, and trade press reported it among defendants in a November 2025 wave of Utah suits. The complaints we have read allege the dual-currency model is illegal gambling. No court has ruled on the merits, and allegations are not findings. As of July 20, 2026 none of these cases was moving toward a class trial: courts in Alabama and Ohio sent the claims to individual arbitration under the operator's own terms of service, the California case ended in a stipulated termination, and the New York docket shows a stay and a statistical closing.

Why did Funrize or JackpotRabbit only pay me $25 when I won more?

Their own award rules cap redemptions of winnings from free promotional entries (daily logins, wheel spins, giveaways, missions) at an aggregate of $25 per account, and say excess winnings may be removed. We read the identical clause on five of the network's brands on July 10, 2026. Winnings from entries received as a purchase bonus are not named in that cap. If this happened to you, save screenshots and your transaction history, and consider reporting it through our reports page and to your state attorney general. Information, not legal advice.
