Sweepstakes casinos in North Carolina

Current status

No tracked explicit prohibition

We have found no state law that explicitly prohibits sweepstakes casinos here. That is an absence of a tracked prohibition, not an affirmative authorization.

Last review: June 11, 2026
Authority: N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-306.4

There is no tracked prohibition here to act on. An operator's own terms still decide whether it will register you, and some exclude states that have taken no action at all, so read the terms we link on each review page. See the operators we track

Sweeps Coins (SC) redemption: No tracked prohibition
Gold Coin (GC) free play: Yes
Minimum age: 18+

That is North Carolina's statutory floor. An operator's own terms can set a higher number, and the one that binds you is whichever is higher. Bonus Bandit is written for readers 21 and older. How we handle age

What this classification rests on

A status word is a summary, so here is the record underneath it for North Carolina. Where our database holds nothing, the row says Not recorded rather than leaving the gap for you to misread.

Source date: Not recorded
Last human review: June 11, 2026
Effective date: Not recorded
Basis of classification: statutory

Source date is the most recent legal event we track for this state. Basis is derived from those events, from the cited authority where we have one, and from operator-reported exits only when nothing else is on record. Missing rows are gaps in our records, not findings about the law. Research, not legal advice.

Citation as stored

N.C. Gen. Stat. § 14-306.4 (electronic machines and devices for sweepstakes prohibited).

The status hero shows the short form of this reference. This is the complete string as our database holds it, unedited.
