Is the Tang Luck sweepstakes casino site a scam?
Players who make this type of claim about any online casino are often rattled when they come to find out the "free sweepstakes casino" is no longer free and they now need to upload real cash, only to lose most of it.
Unlike a real money online casino, sweepstakes - or social casinos - is an online platform that allows users to play casino-style games, including slots, bingo, table games, and even live casino games, using virtual currency instead of real money. These types of online casinos rely on additional real money purchases once the free play component is exhausted. In contrast, real money online casinos require a small deposit that can be increased through wins. Free play and cash bonuses are typically offered as well.
A reader on the popular SweepsKings.com website expressed his own observation in regard to the Tang Luck sweepstakes site, which advertises on the SweepsKings.com industry resource site.
SquirmyT has over 500 posts on the site, so he can't be thrown into that whole "disgruntled losing customer" category.
He writes:
So SweepsKings gives this site a 60?
Lets break it down, they run commercials on Tubi, CW and Pluto TV.
They state "If your slots app doesn't hit a jackpot in 10 minutes, delete it and download Tang Luck" First off, no legit site can guarantee wins.
Secondly, the commercial states "Win 50$ in your first 10 minutes" Again, no legit slot site can guarantee wins.
Third, it says "Win up to 500$ within 10 minutes of playing" Inconsistent statements in your own commercial, is it 50$ or 500$?
Fourth, the games they advertise dont match the gameplay they show. Like they show 3 Fortune Trees by Kendoo, but it plays like 64 Nuggets by Booming. That is a bonafide scam, yet Sweepskings gives it a favorable rating and not blacklisted. That seems fishy.
Also, Tang Luck is EXACT same commercial for 666 Slots and Lavish Luck, so how do 3 different sites all have commercials for same games with same claims of "guaranteed" wins in 10 minutes.
He references the site as being a scam to close out his post, however, Gambling911.com cannot independently verify that Tang Luck is engaged in any wrongdoing.
Administrators at SweepsKings, however, are taking SquirmyT's post seriously.
"Thanks for bringing this to our attention @SquirmyT," a site administrator posted. "We will re-evaluate the review and update accordingly.'
Real customer reviews from across the Net are not overly negative in regard to Tang Luck.
The site is also quite responsive to customer concerns.
Olivia O'Donnell says she's been paid on a few occasions relatively fast but, more recently, experienced a delay with PayPal.
"I like this app, I do relatively well on it, winnings can be big if i play right. When I have won on this app I was able to withdraw money through paypal the first 2 times. Now my only issue is that I havent been able to withdraw money through paypal for 2 days and I dont feel comfortable putting in my bank information. How come paypal doesnt work?"
A representative from Tang Luck explained that "this (situation) is usually due to a short-term maintenance or processing delay with our payment partner, and our team is working quickly to resolve it."
"Pretty good app one of my top 3 gambling apps currently waiting on 1000$ over a couple redemptions people complaining on the transaction fees don’t understand how gambling apps work. usually get my redemptions within 1-2 days."
As the Sweepskings member noted above, Tang Luck advertises heavily on Tubi. Their commercials seem to be a driving force in leading viewers to believe the site might not be on the up and up. In other words, the ad campaign might be the problem. Like we stated, there's not a ton of negative feedback associated with actually playing at Tang Luck.

"This is on every single break sometimes and it drives me insane! This chick is fake crying in the most annoying voice throughout the *entire* ad. Even if it wasn’t a gambling ad, the horrible acting and whining would piss me off. Side note, it’s kind of funny they have this woman cussing uncensored when they bleep the profanity on the shows I’m watching lol."
