General gaming law: no Nevada statute names sweepstakes casinos. Penalties and mandatory disgorgement added by SB 256 (Stats. 2025, ch. 337, eff. 2025-10-01).
- 1 dated legal event is recorded for Nevada.

What the law says
Unlicensed gaming (NRS 463.160 via 463.360(3)) is a category B felony: 1-10 years, fine up to $50,000, plus mandatory disgorgement of all profits to the State General Fund. Accepting wagers from persons physically in Nevada through any medium of communication (NRS 465.092) is a gross misdemeanor with disgorgement, and explicitly reaches out-of-state operators, who are deemed to consummate the offense within Nevada.
How we got here
Every tracked event for Nevada, newest first. Each row says what kind of thing it was, because a bill that was filed, a law that passed and a date a restriction started are three different claims.

What this classification rests on
A status word is a summary, so here is the record underneath it for Nevada. Where our database holds nothing, the row says Not recorded rather than leaving the gap for you to misread.

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.

Nevada questions
Are sweepstakes casinos legal in Nevada?
State law prohibits dual-currency sweepstakes casinos here. Authority: Nev. Rev. Stat. § 463.160 (gaming without a state license; felony under § 463.360(3)) and § 465.092 (accepting wagers from persons physically in Nevada through any medium, within or outside the state). General gaming law: no Nevada statute names sweepstakes casinos. Penalties and mandatory disgorgement added by SB 256 (Stats. 2025, ch. 337, eff. 2025-10-01).
Can I still play free Gold Coin (GC) games in Nevada?
Nevada'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 Nevada entirely in their own terms rather than offer a GC-only mode.
