Automatic collector or tracker? What each kind of tool does
The real choice in this space is not which brand, it is whether a tool holds your casino login and collects on your behalf.
Facts as of 2026-10-21. Sources: each tool's own public pages (listed on the alternatives pages), and ClaimChef's privacy and docs pages. Unknown values say so.
Short answer. A tracker tells you when a bonus is ready and you collect it. An automatic collector uses a login you give it and collects on your behalf. ClaimChef's free tier is a tracker. Casino logins: Never collected. You log in yourself; the extension reads the casino page you already have open. No passwords, cookies or session tokens are collected (privacy page).
| Kind | What it does | Examples (per their own pages) |
|---|---|---|
| Dashboard or timer | Lists your casinos with a countdown and a link to each claim page. You claim at the casino. | DailyCashList, Sweepsy, SweepstakeReport Terminal, ClaimChef free tracker |
| Reminder extension | Reads the casino page you have open and alerts you when a bonus is ready. You claim. | Beat the Spin (Free), ClaimChef extension |
| Guided claimer | Highlights each step of the claim and waits for your click. | Beat the Spin (Pro) |
| Automatic collector | Logs in and collects on a schedule, using logins you give it. | Bonus Buddy, Sweeps, Sweeps Farmer, Beat the Spin Unlimited, Bonus Pilot (all their own descriptions) |
| Promo or giveaway watcher | Watches for drop codes, giveaway links and promos. | SweepsGrab, CasinoClaim (open-source Discord bot) |
What to weigh
- Control of your accounts. An automatic collector needs your casino login. Tools say where it is stored (for example, locally in your browser); we have not verified any of those statements.
- Casino rules. Each casino sets its own terms on bots and scripts. Read them before you automate. See no purchase necessary and the casino's own rules.
- Install route. A Chrome Web Store listing updates itself. A manual install does not. ClaimChef's extension is a manual install today.
- Price. Free tiers are capped by site count on most tools. Paid plans we recorded run from $8 to $35 monthly.
- Earnings claims. Unmeasured. See the claims compared.

FAQ
Questions people ask
What is the difference between a tracker and an automatic collector?
A tracker shows when each bonus is ready and leaves the collecting to you. An automatic collector holds or uses your casino login and collects on a schedule. The first gives up convenience; the second gives up control of your accounts.
Do sweepstakes casinos allow automatic collection?
That is set by each casino's own terms, and ClaimChef does not record per-site automation rules, so it does not say for any site that automation is allowed or banned. One tool in this space says on its own page that many operators prohibit bots and scripts.
Does ClaimChef claim bonuses for me?
No. The free tracker never claims, and the paid auto-claimer is staged, not on sale. Purchases, deposits, bets and ID checks would stay with you either way.
Does ClaimChef take my casino password?
No. You log in yourself in your own Chrome profile. The privacy page lists what is not collected: casino passwords, cookies, session tokens, payment cards, ID documents.
