How we determine legal status →
A state in the last group below is one where we found no explicit prohibition to track, which is not the same as a state that has authorized anything. Bills are still moving, and every state page carries the date a human last reviewed it.
Prohibited (11)
Dual-currency sweepstakes casinos are prohibited by law.
Pending restriction (1)
A restriction is enacted but not yet in effect. Operators are already exiting.
Enforcement activity (10)
Regulators are pursuing operators via cease-and-desists, lawsuits, or emergency rules.
Restricted (4)
State action limits how operators can function.
We aim to re-check this group every 31 days. 0 of 4 were reviewed inside that window. REVIEW PAST DUE: 4 are past it, the oldest by 11 days (Hawaii, Iowa, Mississippi, Washington). Each classification below is what we last confirmed, not a new finding. If you have seen a change we have not, tell us and we will re-check. Send a correction.
No tracked explicit prohibition (25)
We have found no state law that explicitly prohibits sweepstakes casinos in these jurisdictions. Read that as an absence of a tracked prohibition, not as permission granted: each state page shows the source date, the last human review, the effective date, and what kind of record the classification rests on.
Classifications are reviewed against primary sources. We re-check restricted states every 31 days, and 0 of 4 are inside that window today. A state we have not finished checking is shown as unclear or under review and carries no classification at all. This tracker is research, not legal advice. Always confirm with the operator and your state attorney general before depositing. Laws change quickly in this space.
