What we could not establish

Launch date not set: the two iOS apps under the brand (Chumba Lite, id 1477838355, first released 2019-12-31; Chumba Casino Mini, id 6503445375, first released 2024-09-16) are sold by VGW Holdings Pty Ltd, not by VGW Malta Limited, and we found no dated launch statement by the operator.
The App Store and Google Play listings for Chumba Casino Mini do not use the word sweepstakes; we did not establish whether Promotional Play is available inside that app. Google Play listing: S4.
Ownership above VGW Malta Limited and VGW Games Limited is not stated in the documents opened beyond the VGW Group definition.
The New York Attorney General's release of September 9, 2026 says VGW began offering Chumba Casino to New Yorkers in 2012; that is the agency's account of New York availability, not an operator launch statement, so the launch date stays empty (S5).
This record lists only the government actions in notes; it is not a complete history of lawsuits or regulator actions naming the brand or its operator.
