Washington questions
Are sweepstakes casinos legal in Washington?
State action limits how sweepstakes casinos can operate here. Authority: Wash. Rev. Code § 9.46.0237 (gambling definition); § 9.46.240 (internet gambling — class C felony).
Can I still play free Gold Coin (GC) games in Washington?
Washington'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 Washington entirely in their own terms rather than offer a GC-only mode.
