Launched in 2022, Funrize offers sweepstakes casino games from a range of leading software developers like Pragmatic Play, Booming Games, and BGaming.

Although there are over 1,000 titles to choose from however, the library only consists of Slots and Fish Games. So if you’re a fan of other gaming categories, this may not be the right casino for you.

On the bright side, the casino is widely available in the US. The only restricted states are Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New York, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

More importantly, the casino offers players several ways to get in touch with the customer support team, making it far easier to get any issues resolved.

Licensing and Legal Compliance

Funrize doesn’t hold a gaming license, but this isn’t an issue as sweepstakes casinos don’t need one.

The casino’s games are all RNG-tested, which means players can rest assured that the outcomes are completely random.

Funrize imposes mandatory KYC checks to ensure that only legal players are permitted to access the website.

The casino also ensures that real money gambling is not mandatory, as users can play with both free-to-play Tournament Coins (TC) as well as premium Promotional Entries (PE).

Score: 20/20

Encryption and Security

In terms of security, Funrize utilizes SSL encryption software as a standard security measure in addition to the KYC checks we mentioned earlier. These measures ensure that bad-faith actors, players from restricted states, and underage players can’t access the website.

The SSL encryption software may be a standard measure, but it is effective at preventing hackers from breaching the website.

Score: 20/20

Reputation & Customer Reviews

Funrize’s Trustpilot review score isn’t great, as it sits at just 3.6 stars on average based on over 1,800 reviews.

While the majority of the reviews are 5 stars, the fact that 22% are 1 star isn’t ideal. It’s also worth noting that the casino only responds to 55% of bad reviews, so this is something they really need to work on.

Although the casino does have a decent Facebook page with over 54,000 followers, its Instagram page only has around 300 followers, and we couldn’t find an X page.

Score: 18/40

General Terms

The Terms and Conditions are as we expected. Players have to be of legal age in the territory they reside in, must supply Funrize with personal information as part of the KYC checks, and can only use the account themselves.

However, minimum redemption limits were higher than we expected, as players need at least $25 of real money for Gift Cards, and $100 to redeem a Cash Prize.

Score: 14/20

Final Trust & Safety Score: 72/100

Although its games selection might not be to everyone’s taste, Funrize’s bonus selection is incredibly impressive, as there is a raft of rewards on offer for existing customers.

New customers can also choose from a smaller selection of welcome bonuses, but these are still very rewarding.

Welcome Bonus

There are two welcome bonuses available to new players.

All new players at Funrize receive a no deposit welcome bonus of 125,000 TC and 300 PE once their account has been verified.

As well as this, the casino offers one of two first purchase bonuses, both of which offer solid value.

Players can get 875,000 TC and 5,000 PE for $24.99, which represents a 250% bonus, or 2,000,000 TC and 10,000 PE for $49.99, which is a 300% bonus. Those who want the biggest bonus can unlock 225,000 TC and 2,000 PE for just $4.99, which is a 350% bonus.

Score: 30/30

Ongoing Promotions

Although Funrize’s welcome bonuses are solid, the casino has made sure its existing users aren’t left out.

Although the casino offers a Daily Login bonus, the exact prize isn’t set. Players who are very lucky can get up to 220,000 TC + 400 PE.

On top of this, the casino encourages players’ competitive spirit with twice-daily Races where those who finish in the top 40 can benefit from prizepools that reach up to 4,000,000 TC.

Those seeking a guaranteed reward can turn to the Mail-In bonus and Referral bonuses.

The Mail-In bonus rewards 100 PE per letter, as long as the letters are filled out in accordance with the rules laid out on the website.

The Referral bonus, meanwhile, rewards players with 500,000 TC + 2,000 PE for each referral that spends at least $29.99.

Finally, the casino encourages its players to stay loyal to the website with a FunMeter that rewards prizes once it has been filled out.

Score: 25/25

Loyalty Program

Funrize provides all players with a tiered VIP Program, with better benefits on offer the higher players climb the ladder.

However, what we really liked here is that all players are automatically enrolled, starting at Bronze level. Players can work their way up to VIP level, and will unlock benefits such as better Daily Wheel rewards for their efforts.

Score: 25/25

Wagering Terms and Conditions

The wagering T&Cs at Funrize are mostly as we expected, but there are some important things to note.

Although PE can be redeemed for Cash Prizes after they have been wagered at least once, they aren’t priced as you might expect. 100 PE tokens are only worth $1.

The minimum redemption limits were also higher than we expected, standing at $25 of real money for Gift Cards, and $100 to redeem a Cash Prize.

Score: 17/20

Final Bonuses and Promotions Score: 97/100

Purchase Methods

Funrize offers its users more deposit options than we were expecting, as players can purchase TC with Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and Apple Pay.

Although the payment options aren’t that great, deposits and purchases are processed instantly, allowing players to start enjoying the casino immediately.

Score: 15/20

Redemption Methods

There is more choice in terms of withdrawals, as Gift Cards, Bank Transfers, and PayPal are all supported. What’s more, all of the deposit methods except Apple Pay can also be used for redemptions as well.

However, waiting times for redemptions will depend on the method you use.

While Gift Card redemptions are almost instant, Visa, Mastercard, and Discover can all take up to 3 business days.

For their part, PayPal redemptions can take up to 7 days, while Bank Transfers are the slowest possible method at up to 10 days.

Score: 18/25

Transaction Security and Fairness

Funrize’s transactions are completely fair, as the casino clearly lays out its supported payment and withdrawal methods.

The T&Cs are also made crystal clear, so players know how much currency they require for their chosen redemption method.

As well as being fair, Funrize ensures its transactions are as secure as possible.

The casino utilizes SSL encryption software to protect its website, and all the supported payment options have their own security measures in place as well.

Score: 25/25

Final Payment and Transaction Methods Score: 58/70

Website Design & Navigation

For the most part, we found it quite easy to get around the Funrize website.

The casino provides a range of shortcuts on its landing page that can be used to get to key areas of the website quickly.

The menu on the left-hand side of the landing page contains links to the Games and Customer Support page, while Live Chat is made available in the bottom right of the screen.

Funrize knows that not all of its players will want to play with just one in-game currency, and has made it easy to switch between TC and PE by toggling the button in the top right corner.

However, we have to knock several points off for the annoyance of the constant pop-ups. They disrupted our gaming experience, and they shouldn’t be anywhere near as frequent as they are.

Score: 20/25

Mobile Gaming

Although the casino works very well on a desktop device, Funrize has made sure that its mobile customers enjoy the same benefits.

The website molds perfectly to a smartphone, so players can access the same functionality wherever they are.

We also really liked the fact that a mobile app was made available to iOS users, although this should be available to Android users as well. Funrize clearly has the capacity to develop a mobile app, so we don’t know why this isn’t the case.

Score: 16/20

Customer Support

Funrize’s players should be able to find the customer support contact option that works for them.

Email (support@funrize.com), phone support (+1 (208) 826-1426), and Live Chat are all available, and players can expect helpful and professional responses from each one.

Of these, the fastest method is inevitably the Live Chat function, with an average response time of just one minute.

Although there is no exact Help Center, Funrize does provide an FAQ page of sorts through its How It Works section, which is tailored towards beginner players.

Score: 24/30

Responsible Gaming Measures

Funrize offers multiple tools to players to help them stay in control of their gaming habits, ranging from mild help to more severe measures.

Reality Checks are designed to keep players aware of how long they’ve been on the website, and can be set from 10 minutes up to 2 hours.

Players can also set Purchase Limits, which restrict how much they can spend in a certain time period. Again, the time periods here can vary.

Those in need of more serious restrictions can temporarily self-exclude themselves from their account. This takes two forms. Cool-offs can last anywhere between 1 and 30 days, while longer self-exclusions start at 6 months.

Finally, players can permanently self-exclude themselves, which is the most severe Responsible Gambling tool Funrize has to offer.

Score: 25/25

Final User Experience Score: 85/100

The main drawback to Funrize is its limited games library. There are only Slots and Fish games available, and although these are popular among sweeps casino enthusiasts, we really feel that the library should be more well-rounded.

Still, the casino gets more than enough right across the key areas of its website for us to recommend it to potential players. The customer support in particular is especially good.
