The Bonus Power Index—Bonus.com’s proprietary ranking system—tracks how each sweepstakes casino stacks up across five weighted categories: Welcome Offers, Game Variety, Rewards & Promotions, Usability, and Player Experience. (Learn how we rank here.)
In November, several notable shifts occurred as brands updated their Gold Coin (GC) welcome offers and expanded their game libraries. These adjustments directly influenced their Power Index scores, especially within the Welcome Offer and Game Variety categories.
Gold Coin Bonus Changes Impacting the Index
Sweeps casinos regularly recalibrate their Gold Coin (GC) offers to attract new players or rebalance toward Sweeps Coin (SC) bonuses. November brought both increases and reductions, each affecting how these brands scored in our monthly Power Index recalculation.
| Casino | Previous GC Bonus | New GC Bonus | Power Index Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chanced Casino | 20,000 | 1,000 | ↓ Offer category score |
| FunzCity | 125,000 | 135,000 | ↑ Slight improvement |
| Global Poker | 10,000 | 100,000 | ↑ Significant boost |
| Hard Rock Social Casino | 2,000,000 | 10,000,000 | ↑ Major jump |
| Spree | 1,000,000 | 25,000 | ↓ Offer score decline |
| Thrillzz | 10 | 3,000 | ↑ Moderate improvement |
Trend takeaway: Hard Rock Social and Global Poker saw the strongest welcome-offer gains, while Chanced and Spree slid down in that category.

Game Library Expansions Driving Higher Variety Scores
Game variety is the second-largest factor in Bonus.com’s Power Index. Four sweeps casinos expanded their catalogs substantially in November—earning higher marks for content depth and diversity.
| Casino | Previous Games | New Games | Power Index Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pulsz | 600 | 1,000 | ↑ Significant boost |
| Punt.com | 1,200 | 2,000 | ↑ Large jump |
| Sixty6 | 500 | 1,500 | ↑ Dramatic improvement |
| SpeedSweeps | 1,500 | 2,400 | ↑ Major jump |
Trend takeaway: Sixty6’s tripling of its catalog and SpeedSweeps’ surge to 2,400 titles set new benchmarks for content volume among mid-tier platforms.
Newcomers Influencing Future Rankings
Several emerging social casinos entered the Power Index radar in November, with strong early performance in GC/SC offers and competitive game counts.
| Casino | Welcome Offer | Game Library | Early Outlook |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ace.com | 7,500 GC + 2.5 SC | 300–700 games | Promising newcomer; solid foundation |
| Rich Sweeps | 50,000 GC + 1 SC | 2,000+ games | Robust launch; competitive across categories |
| SpeedSweeps | 50,000 GC + 1 SC | 2,400 games | Strong standing in game variety |
| Grand Vault | 50,000 GC + 2.5 SC | ~1,983 games | Broad catalog and solid welcome balance |
These new entries are expected to debut in December’s Power Index with competitive Welcome Offer scores and moderate-to-high Game Variety rankings.
Why These Shifts Matter
The Bonus Power Index updates dynamically as brands adjust promotions and expand their offerings.
- Gold Coin bonuses influence short-term visibility and new-player appeal.
- Game library growth reflects long-term player engagement and retention potential.
- Together, these movements often cause major ranking swings month-to-month.
As November’s data shows, sweeps casinos continue to compete aggressively—some scaling back GC to emphasize SC or purchase rewards, others doubling down with headline-making increases. Bonus.com’s tracking ensures readers always see which platforms are trending up or down across the Power Index categories.
