What "no action found" means
We searched each state's legislature, attorney general and gaming regulator for a sweepstakes-specific law, bill or action and found none. General gambling law still applies, and courts or regulators can act without a new law. Operators decide their own state lists, so check the operator's current terms and our state checker.
This is a research record of published laws, bills and official actions, not legal advice. Laws and their interpretation change; check the primary source linked for each state.
Frequently asked questions
Are sweepstakes casinos legal in these states?
We cannot say they are. We found no specific law, bill or action, which is not the same as a finding of legality. General gambling law still applies, and operators set their own state lists.
Do operators accept players from these states?
Mostly, according to their own terms. In each of these states, most of the 70 operators whose terms we could read do not exclude it, but an operator's terms can lag its real restrictions.
