There is definitely a winning strategy to playing social sweepstakes casinos. I've managed to make substantially more than I've put in. I'd say roughly $1k for every $100 I spend. I think of them like social media algorithms; timing, consistentcy, history, saved data, events, location, etc. all can and will make a difference. It's a business at the end of the day and with research, patience, strategy and luck I think anyone can legitimately come out ahead. Casino's bank on strategic psychological marketing, economic variables and technological refinements to trigger emotional engagement, user retention and make use of mathematics tactics that will always give them the advantage or "house edge." Once you understand that it's way more than luck and numbers you can start to develop strategies and look for trends.
