The most logical place for me to begin my Milkystarslot ratings is by assessing the welcome offer. Like most online social casinos, this brand offers you free coins as an incentive to get started, plus a special first-purchase offer that’s only available for a limited time after you register a new account.

Nothing is advertised on the site before you sign up, so here’s a quick summary of the offers I was able to grab as a new player:

Before signing up, I found the homepage of this social casino website to be quite basic and informative, but fairly unassuming. However, once I’d signed up, I was met with an interface that is quite different from other online US sweepstakes casinos that I’ve played at.

I can best describe the designs as a sort of 3D cartoon cosmic space theme, with deep purple and magenta tones dominating alongside alien, planet, and flying saucer images. The fonts and game graphics are all in a bubble animation style with occasional splashes of gold to remind you that this is a casino-style site.

While the design is different, it’s still pretty easy to navigate, and all areas of your account profile are neatly packed away into the three-line button in the top-right hand corner of the screen. My only main criticism of the Milky Star Slots Sweepstake Casino is that the desktop site kind of looks like a blown-up version of the mobile site, which leads me on to the next section of our review.

As I said above, the desktop site looks like it was originally made for mobile, as there is a lot of empty space to the left and right of your wide screen. On mobile, the design comes off much better, but there is literally zero difference between the mobile and desktop versions of the site.

Is there an app? Not yet, but the mobile site kinda looks and feels like one in my opinion. Overall, this is a unique sweepstakes casino product. Does unique necessarily mean better or worse than what’s already out there? I’m not really swayed one way or the other to be honest.

Milky Star Slots Mobile

Welcome Bonus

At this point in my Milky Star Slots ratings, I should remind you that you can continually play for free here. However, if you wish to purchase Gold Coins, all packs bar the $1.99 (10k GC) come with free SC as a bonus.

You can make the purchase with your credit card and the following brands are accepted:

• Visa
• Mastercard
• American Express
• Discover

SC prize redemptions

SCs that you have played through at least once on eligible casino-style games will be moved into your redeemable balance. Once you have at least 50 SC in your balance, you can request to redeem them for real money prizes.

If and when your redemption request is approved, the prize will be paid into your bank account at the rate of 1 SC = $1.00. Typically, redemption transactions take between three and five business days, however, they can take up to 10 business days. This is normal for a sweepstakes casino in my extensive experience.

When you click on the “Support” button in your account, the help center will open in a new tab. This is a decent enough tool that contains an FAQ section and articles that cover almost every potential issue that you can run into on the site, from ID verification, to purchases and how the coins work.

If you need to get in touch, the only means I found was by submitting a request. When you do this, the team responds via email, and in ample time in my experience, – though it is always slower on weekends and evenings.

Overall, the customer care isn’t bad, but my Milky Star Slots ratings would definitely be boosted if they added a 24/7 live chat.

This brand doesn’t have a gambling license, but that’s because it’s not a gambling site; it’s a sweepstakes casino. This means that it has to have documents noting that it complies with sweepstakes and social gaming rules in the US, which I’m satisfied that it does.

You have to verify that you are over 18 to play here and you cannot access the site from the two prohibited states; Washington and Idaho. Additionally, the site is HTTPS and SSL encrypted, so Milky Star Slots is secure and safe to use.

I couldn’t find any sort of rewards or loyalty program at this online social casino. However, I did come across these bonuses and promotions that all account holders can claim regularly:

• Daily Login Bonus: Get 1,000 GC + 0.30 SC every 24 hours.
• Purchase Promotions: All GC purchase bundles bar one come with a free SC bonus.
• Invite Friend Bonus: Get 20k GC + 20 SC for every friend that registers with your unique invite link.
• Social Media Bonus: There are regular no-cost giveaways that you can enter on the brand’s Facebook for the chance to win free SC.
• Postal Request: Send a handwritten request to the company’s office in exchange for free SC.
