Factor by factor
A factor is one of the seven things we score. Edge names the site with the higher score on that factor, and by how much. A tie stays a tie. Where we have not scored a factor on both sides it reads as not scored yet, which is a gap in our work and never a zero for the site.

The practical differences
These are separate operations in our records: WowVegas is operated by MW Services Limited and Chumba by VGW Malta Limited, so the factor gaps above compare two different companies, not one owner's two skins.
The cash-out bar is not the same: WowVegas lets you request a redemption from $50, while Chumba makes you reach $100 first. If you play small, that gap decides which side actually pays you.
Both keep a documented no-purchase entry route open (mail-in postcard), which is the baseline a legitimate sweepstakes has to meet.
WowVegas: minimum redemption $50. payout methods not confirmed yet. operated by MW Services Limited.
Chumba: minimum redemption $100. payout methods not confirmed yet. operated by VGW Malta Limited.
