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.

That is the documented shape: two Wyoming LLCs whose own brands disclose them, at one address, with one named organizer, plus two further companies the BBB file links through the same 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 and the sibling companies rest on the BBB file, so we attribute them to it.

Every brand, scored

The table binds to our live database (generated July 10, 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.

Brand Disclosed company Our score Tier Trustpilot reviews 1-2 star share
TaoFortune A1 Development LLC 47 avoid 1,736 30.1%
StormRush A1 Development LLC 53 caution 632 20.3%
Funrize A1 Development LLC 58 caution 5,300 21.5%
NoLimitCoins A1 Development LLC 61 caution 4,305 21.8%
FortuneWheelz A1 Development LLC 61 caution 2,575 19.8%
VegasWay UTech Solutions LLC 46 avoid 60 base under floor
ScarletSands UTech Solutions LLC 49 avoid 60 base under floor
FireSevens UTech Solutions LLC 56 caution 132 37.1%
Sweepshark UTech Solutions LLC 60 caution 2,171 10.5%
Sweepico UTech Solutions LLC 60 caution 1,483 11.3%
Playtana UTech Solutions LLC 61 caution 896 13.1%
JackpotRabbit UTech Solutions LLC 62 caution 3,781 19.2%
MrGoodwin UTech Solutions LLC 63 caution 2,160 12.6%
DexyPlay UTech Solutions LLC 65 caution 309 11.0%

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 23.5%. 3 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.

Two more brands, one evidence tier down

These brands do not disclose A1 or UTech. Each discloses its own company, and the connection to this network rests on the BBB alert described above, which links their companies to the same registered agent. We list them separately for exactly that reason, and they are not counted in the headline figures. A Wyoming registry search on July 10, 2026 returned a record for Sweet Innovation LLC; the same day, searches of the Wyoming and Idaho registries returned no record under the name Nickle Tech LLC, which may simply mean it is registered in another state. We will update this section as the registry work completes.

LuckySlots Sweet Innovation LLC 52 caution 558 26.0%
Coinz Nickle Tech LLC 65 caution 672 25.9%

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 three class actions 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), and Klein v. A1 Development LLC (N.D. Ohio, 5:25-cv-01999, filed September 19, 2025). 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 allege that the dual-currency model amounts to illegal gambling; the defendants contest this, and as of July 10, 2026 every one of these cases was pending with no ruling on the merits. Allegations are not findings, and we will update this page as the dockets move.

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, is a defendant in federal class actions in Alabama, California, and Ohio, and trade press reported it among defendants in a November 2025 wave of Utah suits. The complaints allege the dual-currency model is illegal gambling. All of these cases were pending as of July 10, 2026; no court has ruled on the merits, and allegations are not findings.

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.

Can an operator pay to change this page?

No. BonusBandit is funded by disclosed affiliate links, but scores and this profile are computed mechanically and are not affiliate-weighted. An operator cannot buy a better number or buy its way off this page.
