Sweepstakes calculators
Five tools, each of which shows its formula, states its assumptions, and names the point at which it stops being able to answer honestly.
Package value
What a coin costs before and after the wagering it has to survive.
Playthrough
How much must actually be staked, once contribution is accounted for.
Expected balance
The average balance left after a requirement, under a stated model.
Compare scenarios
Up to four packages through one identical model.
Variance explorer
How widely results spread around an average, on a seeded model game.
Which one you want
| If you are asking | Use |
|---|---|
| How much do I have to stake to clear this? | Playthrough |
| What will that wagering cost me on average? | Expected balance |
| What does this package cost per redeemable Sweeps Coin? | Package value |
| Which of these offers is least expensive? | Compare scenarios |
| How far do real results scatter around an average? | Variance explorer |
| How likely am I to clear this requirement? | No tool here answers that. It needs the game’s full payout distribution, which is almost never published. See methodology. |
Method versions
Every figure the site publishes cites the method and version that produced it. A version changes whenever the numeric output could change for the same inputs; wording-only edits do not bump it.
| Method | Version | Computes |
|---|---|---|
playthrough | 1.0.0 | Convert a balance and a playthrough multiplier into the amount that must actually be staked, including the effect of partial game contribution. |
expected-balance | 1.0.0 | Estimate the average balance remaining after a stated amount of wagering, under an explicitly simplified model. |
package-value | 1.0.0 | Express what a coin package costs per Sweeps Coin, how much of an uplift it represents over the normal amount, and what those coins cost once a wagering requirement is applied. |
scenario-comparison | 1.0.1 | Apply one identical model to several package-and-playthrough scenarios so the differences between them are attributable to the inputs rather than to the method. |
variance-simulation | 1.0.0 | Show how widely results spread around an expected value, by repeatedly simulating a deliberately simple model game whose mathematics are fully stated. |
