Hawaii questions
Are sweepstakes casinos legal in Hawaii?
State action limits how sweepstakes casinos can operate here. Authority: HRS ch. 712 (§712-1220 'gamble'/consideration defs; §712-1223 gambling offense); SB 3281 (2026) passed Senate 25-0 then DEFERRED in House Judiciary, died at sine die (2026-05-08).
Can I still play free Gold Coin (GC) games in Hawaii?
Hawaii'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 Hawaii entirely in their own terms rather than offer a GC-only mode.
