Florida questions
Are sweepstakes casinos legal in Florida?
Regulators are actively pursuing operators here. Authority: Fla. Stat. §§ 849.09 (lotteries), 849.094 (game promotions) (2025).
Can I still play free Gold Coin (GC) games in Florida?
Florida'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 Florida entirely in their own terms rather than offer a GC-only mode.
