Until then this score leans on catalog + complaint data, which is why its confidence is lower. Our testing method is in the methodology, and the KYC setup guide covers the documents we use.
Non-Compensatory Gates
No catastrophic-finding gates were triggered for Sweep Stars. Gates (systematic redemption refusal, KYC weaponization, family exit scam, undisclosed owner) cap the score regardless of other factors — see the methodology.

Common questions answered
What is Sweep Stars's Bonus Bandit Trust Score?
Sweep Stars scores 57/100 on the Bonus Bandit Trust Score, placing it in the Qualified band with 57% confidence (Medium). The score measures whether players actually get paid — weighing redemption reliability, KYC fairness, ToS honesty, playthrough, operator track record, reviews, and support against one rubric with no affiliate weighting.
Why is Sweep Stars's Trust Score confidence rated Medium (57%)?
Confidence reflects how much tested and documented data backs the score, not the score itself. Sweep Stars's score currently draws on tos-analysis, complaints, catalog data, with manual-input, email-derived still pending. As the missing inputs land the confidence rises, while the score stays anchored to the same methodology.
Has Bonus Bandit tested Sweep Stars's payouts first-hand?
Not yet. Sweep Stars's Trust Score currently leans on tos-analysis and complaints and catalog data rather than a first-hand redemption and KYC cycle, which is part of why confidence sits at 57%. When we complete a documented cashout test, the timing lands on this page.
What do player complaints say about Sweep Stars?
Across the public complaint sources we scanned, the most common negative themes for Sweep Stars were redemption denied. Tested evidence outranks crowd sentiment, so these themes inform the reviews factor rather than capping the total — see the methodology for the weighting.
