Who owns Funrize, NoLimitCoins and TaoFortune? A1 Development LLC, a Wyoming company whose own terms name it as the operator of six sweepstakes sites.

It runs those six on a "skin" strategy - same backend, different front doors - with one of the category's more generous affiliate deals and one real black mark: it pulled its own mobile apps. This is a smaller operator than VGW or B-Two Operations, but it's been in the category since 2021, longer than most of the "challenger" brands we cover.
Where is A1 Development LLC registered?
A1 Development, LLC is incorporated in Wyoming, at 571 S Washington, Afton, WY 83110. NoLimitCoins was its first brand, launched in 2021; TaoFortune followed roughly two years later. Funrize and NoLimitCoins both bar residents of the state their operator is registered in - our Wyoming sweepstakes casino page sets out who can and cannot play there.
How many sites does A1 Development run?
Six, not three. We used to credit the group with FunzCity, Fortune Wheelz and Stormrush on the strength of secondary reporting; that hedge is no longer needed, because the companies say it themselves. Reading each site's own terms of use on September 18, 2026, all six name A1 Development LLC at the Afton address as the operator of their platform, and Stormrush and Fortune Wheelz both print the Wyoming company number 2019-000846205. We only review three of the six, so the other three carry no scorecard here.
| Site | Reviewed here | Terms of use it serves |
|---|---|---|
| Funrize | Yes | Shared "Version 2.0" text, roughly 76,000 characters |
| NoLimitCoins | Yes | Shared "Version 2.0" text |
| TaoFortune | Yes | Site footer only - no detailed terms served |
| Fortune Wheelz | No | Shared "Version 2.0" text; prints WY company no. 2019-000846205 |
| Stormrush | No | Shared "Version 2.0" text; prints WY company no. 2019-000846205 |
| FunzCity | No | Shared "Version 2.0" text |
What do A1 Development's terms of use say?
Five of the six sites - every one except TaoFortune - serve the same terms of use with the brand name swapped in: all five are headed "Version 2.0", all five run to roughly 76,000 characters, and each carries its own revision date between February 27 and March 9, 2026. Read end to end on September 18, 2026, every copy uses the phrase "Virtual Coins" 29 times and does not use the words "redemption", "redeem", "Sweeps Coins" or "sweepstakes" even once. None of the five mentions PayPal.
That matters for what you can hold the operator to. The redemption minimums, conversion rate and payout speeds we publish for these brands come from our own testing and from player reporting, not from anything A1 Development publishes, and there is no sweepstakes rulebook at any of the six sites setting out what a coin is actually worth. TaoFortune is the thinnest of the lot: its terms of use page carries only the site footer, which circularly tells you to "see Terms of Use" for the detailed rules. We set out the full document-by-document reading in our report on the six sites A1 Development runs and on the blank prize terms at NoLimitCoins and Funrize.
Brand portfolio: which casinos does A1 Development own?
- Funrize - the group's more tournament-styled brand, a 7-level "Funrize Club" loyalty ladder, 1,000-plus games.
- NoLimitCoins - 2,000-plus games, and one of the only sweepstakes brands we've found offering PayPal redemption, a genuinely rare payment option in this category.
- TaoFortune - 850-plus games, roughly 97% average RTP claimed across its library.
The three run the same engine and none of them uses the industry's Gold Coin / Sweeps Coin naming, so the first thing to get straight is which coin does what at which brand:
| Brand | Free-play coin | Redeemable coin | Cash minimum | PayPal | Native app |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Funrize | Tournament Coins | Promotional Entries | 100 Entries, ≈$100 | Not documented | None - pulled from both stores |
| NoLimitCoins | Gold Coins | Sweeps Coins, at 100 SC = $1 | 10,000 SC, ≈$100 | Yes | None - web only |
| TaoFortune | Tao Coins | Secret Coins | Not published | Not documented | None confirmed |
The cash minimums in that table are ours, not A1's: none of the documents we read at the six sites states a redemption minimum, a conversion rate or a payout window. Our guide to redeeming Sweeps Coins sets out what a published rulebook normally fixes, and our sweepstakes casino apps guide lists the brands that do ship on iOS and Android.
What do Funrize, NoLimitCoins and TaoFortune do well?
NoLimitCoins runs a direct, 40% revenue-share affiliate program with published terms at its own URL - more transparent than the contact-only arrangements common elsewhere in this category. It also stands out for accepting PayPal payouts, which most rivals don't offer at all. Funrize posts a respectable 4.2/5 Trustpilot score across 5,063 reviews (as of May 2026), and NoLimitCoins sits around 3.5-4/5 across roughly 4,000 reviews with no systemic payout complaints we could find.
What are the documented problems at Funrize and TaoFortune?
Funrize was named in Illinois's February 5, 2026 cease-and-desist wave, part of the same 65-operator action that hit Chumba, Stake.us, and most of the category's larger names - our report on who received an Illinois cease-and-desist letter puts TaoFortune in the same wave and records no letter found for NoLimitCoins, and the enforcement pattern sits in our guide to whether sweepstakes casinos are legal. More specific to this operator: Funrize removed its mobile app from both the App Store and Google Play, leaving it mobile-web-only - a genuine downgrade from having previously offered native apps, and a real point of friction against competitors that are adding apps rather than pulling them. TaoFortune posts the weakest Trustpilot score of the three we review, 3.5-3.9/5 across 1,726 reviews. On geography, both Funrize and NoLimitCoins run the same section 3.4: 14 states barred outright, and California, Indiana, Maine and Maryland held to free-play currency with no prize route, which is 18 states closed to real play at each brand. The clause gives no reason for any of them. Stormrush's copy of the same clause omits Maine and Maryland, the only one of the eleven sites serving this document that names neither - we set all eleven lists side by side in our read of which of these sites restricts Maine. Neither Funrize nor TaoFortune runs a fully public, standalone affiliate program the way NoLimitCoins does - Funrize and TaoFortune route through a shared, contact-only application process.
Should you trust A1 Development's casinos?
NoLimitCoins is the strongest pick of the three we review: no systemic payout complaints across roughly 4,000 Trustpilot reviews, a rare PayPal option, and the most transparent affiliate terms in the family. Keep the document gap above in view while you read that, though - the PayPal rail and the coin figures are our finding and the players', not a promise A1 has written down anywhere. Funrize is solid but worth watching - the app removal is the kind of change that usually signals cost-cutting, and it's fair to ask why before assuming it's cosmetic. TaoFortune trails both siblings on reputation. None of the three appear on our blacklist of closed or exit-scam operators. This page said for a year that we had found no litigation naming A1 Development directly beyond the Illinois C&D shared with most of the industry. That was wrong, and we corrected it on October 6, 2026: a putative class action naming the company, Lejman v. A1 Development LLC, No. 1:25-cv-10984, has been pending in the Northern District of Illinois before Judge Elaine E. Bucklo since September 11, 2025, and on September 23, 2026 the judge ruled on A1's motions to compel arbitration and to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. The order itself is behind PACER's paywall, so the free record shows that it exists and not what it decides. Our report on the Lejman docket sets out what the record does and does not support.

FAQ
Who owns Funrize?
A1 Development LLC, a Wyoming company at 571 S Washington, Afton, WY 83110. Its own terms of use name it as the operator of six sites: Funrize, NoLimitCoins, TaoFortune, Stormrush, Fortune Wheelz and FunzCity. We review the first three.
Who owns NoLimitCoins and TaoFortune?
The same company. NoLimitCoins was A1 Development's first brand, launched in 2021, and TaoFortune followed roughly two years later - both share the Afton, Wyoming address.
Is Funrize legit?
It has a solid Trustpilot record (4.2/5, 5,063 reviews) and a working redemption system, but it dropped its native mobile apps and was named in Illinois's 2026 cease-and-desist wave - both worth knowing before you sign up. Our Funrize review scores it criterion by criterion.
Are Funrize and NoLimitCoins the same company?
Yes. Both name A1 Development LLC at 571 S Washington, Afton, Wyoming in their own terms of use, and both serve the same "Version 2.0" document with the brand name swapped in. They are separate sites with separate accounts, balances and currencies - a Funrize balance is not a NoLimitCoins balance - and their section 3.4 state clauses differ by one phrase. Head-to-head detail is in the Funrize review and the NoLimitCoins review.
Does A1 Development publish sweepstakes rules?
No. There is no sweepstakes rulebook at any of the six sites, and the "Version 2.0" terms of use that five of them serve never use the words "sweepstakes", "redeem" or "redemption" - only "Virtual Coins", 29 times. Two of the six print Wyoming company number 2019-000846205. The document-by-document reading is in our reports on the blank prize terms at NoLimitCoins, Funrize and TaoFortune and on the mail-in entry routes across the six sites.
Can I redeem NoLimitCoins through PayPal?
It's one of the few sweepstakes brands we've found offering PayPal as a cash redemption method, alongside bank transfer. Be aware that A1's terms of use never mention PayPal, or redemption at all, so check the rail in your own cashier before you count on it. Our sweepstakes casinos that accept PayPal page sets out the rate and the minimum we hold.
