01 · The casino
A second brand on The Money Factory’s own software
Spinzta launched in December 2025 as a sweepstakes casino operated by The Money Factory LLC, the Delaware company behind The Money Factory itself. The founders, Trevor Pope, Clay Johnson and Jared Pope, also built GammaSweep, a turnkey sweepstakes platform sold to other operators, and Spinzta ran on that in-house stack. It was a second shop window for the same technology rather than a separate business. A third brand, Bare Knuckle Sweeps, was reported to use the same software.
The lobby was larger than the brand’s age suggested, with more than 1,000 titles from studios including 3 Oaks, Booming Games, KA Gaming, Novomatic, Onlyplay and Spade Gaming, plus a Spinzta Originals range built on GammaStack software, and it offered live dealer tables as well as slots. It blocked players in California, Connecticut, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee and Washington, which was already a long list by the standards of late 2025 and got longer as more states moved against the dual-currency model in 2026.
02 · The shutdown
Closed with its sister on the same Sunday, with the same notice
On 9 August 2026 spinzta.com was replaced with a notice that Spinzta had permanently ceased operations. The wording tracks The Money Factory’s notice almost line for line: an orderly wind-down, all player accounts, balances and pending redemption requests recorded and preserved, and players with pending requests told they need not take any action because their records are on file. Both sites point to the same two addresses, [email protected] for players and [email protected] for anyone wanting to buy the company’s assets. Spinzta was not given its own contact.
No reason was published. A brand eight months old closing alongside its parent is not a standalone failure; it is the operating company shutting everything at once. The wider context is the 2026 retreat from the American sweeps market, with bans in Tennessee and Oklahoma, restrictions in Iowa and Louisiana, and the City of Baltimore suing six sweepstakes operators. Whether The Money Factory LLC was named in any of that is not on record.
03 · The money
Same promise as The Money Factory, same gaps
Everything said about The Money Factory’s balances applies here. The operator says accounts and pending redemptions are recorded and preserved. It has not said when, or whether, new redemption requests can be filed, and it has not published a timetable for paying the ones already queued. Players cannot log in to check a balance. The only route is the shared shutdown email, and the company has said it will post updates as the wind-down proceeds. Gold Coins never had cash value.
The asset sale is the thing to watch. If a buyer takes the platform, nothing in either notice says player liabilities go with it. If you held Sweeps Coins at Spinzta, email [email protected] now, make clear the account was at Spinzta rather than The Money Factory, state your username, your balance and any pending redemption reference, and keep a copy of everything you send and receive.

05 · The questions
Spinzta – the questions still open
Q. Is Spinzta closed?
Yes. The site was replaced with a permanent closure notice on 9 August 2026, the same day as its sister site The Money Factory. No sign-ups, purchases or gameplay are accepted and players cannot log in.
Q. Who ran Spinzta?
The Money Factory LLC of Dover, Delaware, the company behind The Money Factory and the GammaSweep sweepstakes platform. Spinzta launched in December 2025 and ran for about eight months.
Q. Will I get my Sweeps Coins back from Spinzta?
The operator says all accounts, balances and pending redemptions are recorded and preserved and that players with pending requests need not act. It has published no deadline and no payout timetable. Email [email protected], say the account was at Spinzta, and keep a record.
Q. Why did Spinzta close?
No reason was given. It closed alongside its parent brand during the 2026 wave of American sweepstakes exits driven by state bans, new restrictions and litigation. A brand this young closing with its operator points to the company shutting down rather than the brand failing on its own.
Q. Is Bare Knuckle Sweeps also closed?
It was reported to run on the same software as Spinzta and The Money Factory, but we have not seen a closure notice for it and it is not covered by this record. Check its own site directly.
