SweepSlots, a controversial sweepstakes casino, has announced its closure just days after introducing its own memecoin. The news, first shared on Reddit, confirmed that the platform will officially shut down on June 20, 2025. This announcement comes alarmingly close to the casino’s promotion of a new cryptocurrency token, which was initially touted as being “backed by a real casino”—a casino that is now ceasing operations.
The shutdown has not come as a surprise to many, as SweepSlots had previously made its way onto several sweepstakes blacklists. Numerous complaints from players and affiliate partners highlighted issues with unpaid redemptions and lack of timely payments. Users discussing their negative experiences on Reddit echo these sentiments, revealing a shared frustration with the casino’s practices.
Past reports suggest that SweepSlots didn’t follow through on its obligations to deliver payouts to users, bringing their credibility into serious question. In its closure announcement, the platform mentioned that redemptions would be honored; however, it has ceased processing new ID verifications. Given SweepSlots’ history, it is doubtful that users will receive anything before the site goes offline.
Adding to the dubious nature of the situation, SweepSlots launched its own memecoin and promoted it through social media channels just prior to announcing its closure. Memecoins often turn out to be risky ventures and can sometimes result in significant financial losses through schemes like rug pulls and pump-and-dumps. The hurried launch of the token while preparing to shut down its operations raises concerns about the company’s intention to extract whatever funds it can from its user base.
In summary, the closure of SweepSlots is welcomed by those aware of its sketchy history, as the sweepstakes industry needs to distance itself from such operators. Players should be cautious and avoid investing in the memecoin.
