Sweepstakes casinos in Oregon

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: Or. Rev. Stat. § 167.117

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 Oregon'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

PRIMARY-SOURCE BRIEF

Oregon's online gambling analysis starts with value and authorization

Oregon Revised Statutes section 167.117 defines gambling as staking or risking something of value on a contest of chance or future contingent event for something of value. Something of value includes tokens or objects exchangeable for money or property and credits. Activity is unlawful when not specifically authorized. Section 167.122 makes knowingly participating in unlawful gambling a Class A misdemeanor, while section 167.127 makes knowingly promoting or profiting from unlawful gambling a Class C felony. These are enacted general provisions, not an enacted dual-currency sweepstakes statute.

Attorney General Opinion No. 8297, dated November 13, 2025, addresses specified private online activities and gambling, but its assumed facts concern paid online sports wagers and it does not decide whether an activity is specifically authorized. Oregon's consumer statute separately requires sweepstakes solicitations to disclose odds, the sponsor, and a no-purchase entry procedure. Those are disclosure requirements, not authorization for casino-style play. A dual-currency product raises fact questions about purchased currency, transferable credits, the equivalence of the free route, and authorization.

Enforcement search: The reviewed set includes Attorney General Opinion No. 8297's analysis of specified online gambling activities, but no operator-specific cease-and-desist, prosecution, or judgment naming an online dual-currency sweepstakes casino was located. The opinion is not an enforcement order.
Question still open: Whether a product's purchased currency, redeemable Sweeps Coins, free entry route, and casino-style games together satisfy Oregon's value, chance, and authorization elements remains unresolved.

What this classification rests on

A status word is a summary, so here is the record underneath it for Oregon. 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

Or. Rev. Stat. § 167.117 (gambling definitions); §§ 167.122, 167.127 (unlawful gambling offenses).

Oregon questions

Are sweepstakes casinos legal in Oregon?

We have found no state law that explicitly prohibits sweepstakes casinos here. That is an absence of a tracked prohibition, not an affirmative authorization. Authority: Or. Rev. Stat. § 167.117 (gambling definitions); §§ 167.122, 167.127 (unlawful gambling offenses).

Does Oregon's no-purchase sweepstakes disclosure rule make a dual-currency casino lawful?

No. ORS 646A.803 through 646A.805 regulate sweepstakes solicitations and require a disclosed entry without purchase. The gambling statutes and Attorney General opinion address separate authorization and gambling questions. A product depends on its mechanics and applicable exceptions.

What is the dual-currency model?

Sweepstakes casinos run on two currencies: free Gold Coin (GC) entertainment play with no prize redemption, and a Sweeps Coin (SC) side that can be redeemed for cash prizes. We have found no state law that explicitly prohibits sweepstakes casinos here. That is an absence of a tracked prohibition, not an affirmative authorization.
