Hey PH - I'm Noah, a solo founder in Boulder, CO.

Sweepstakes casinos give out small daily login bonuses, but they expire on different clocks and most people forget most of them. Beat the Spin is a free Chrome extension that tracks the claim windows across 108+ sites and shows you what's claimable right now.

Two things I care about that shaped it:

It's built on the same database as BonusBandit (bonusbandit.win), where I publish independent 0-100 trust scores from real-money redemption tests. The extension will never point you at an operator we rate as avoid.
Honesty about the model: these are gambling-adjacent products. The site and extension carry 21+ and responsible-play notices, and the trust scores are computed mechanically, with zero affiliate weighting, so an operator cannot buy a better rating.

Would love feedback, especially from anyone who tracks these bonuses manually today.

build almost everything with AI coding agents (OpenAI Codex and Claude Code), but the division of labor is strict: AI does the mechanical work, the evidence and sign-off stay human. Concretely, the agents have: written most of the extension and site code, parsed my entire Gmail archive (about 79,000 threads) into a redemption-evidence ledger, swept a couple hundred pages for QA regressions, and built the redirect map when I migrated domains. The trust scores Beat the Spin inherits from BonusBandit are computed mechanically from that evidence, and a build-time lint fails the deploy if a number in prose drifts from the database. Where AI is deliberately not allowed: nothing publishes on its own. Data changes go into a review queue (an AI pass pre-sorts it, but I approve every change), and every verdict on the site carries my name because I reviewed it. The deposits, the cash-out tests, and the losses in the payout data are me, with real money. So the honest answer: one person plus AI
