Delaware questions
Are sweepstakes casinos legal in Delaware?
Regulators are actively pursuing operators here. Authority: 11 Del. C. §§1401-1432 (advancing gambling; gambling devices); DGE cease-and-desist vs VGW Luckyland effective 2025-04-02 citing Del. Const., Delaware Penal Code, and the Delaware Gaming Competitiveness Act of 2012.
Can I still play free Gold Coin (GC) games in Delaware?
Delaware's action targets the dual-currency model: the Sweeps Coin (SC) side that can be redeemed for cash prizes. Free Gold Coin (GC) entertainment play, with no prize redemption, is generally not what these provisions prohibit. But many operators exclude Delaware entirely in their own terms rather than offer a GC-only mode.
