Sweepstakes laws, state by state

9 states have a law in force on online sweepstakes casinos, 1 more has one on the way, and 13 have seen regulator or attorney-general action without one. Pick a state for the statutes, bills, enforcement and the apps open to its residents.

Disclosure: this site's publisher, Luck Incorporated LLC, operates Chance Infinite, one of the apps in these databases. Its entry is built from its own documents under the same rules as every other entry. This is reference information, not legal advice; official rules and statutes control.

One page per state and the District of Columbia. Each records the state's statutes on online sweepstakes casinos, the 2025 and 2026 bills, enforcement by regulators and attorneys general, the general rules for running a sweepstakes there, and, from our app database, which ranked free apps and which sweepstakes-casino brands accept residents. Every line cites a document with the date we opened it. The data is free to reuse under CC BY 4.0 as states.json.

For each state, how many sweepstakes casinos' own terms exclude it, limit it or do not exclude it: sweepstakes casinos by state.

How to read a status

  • Law in force A state statute in effect today names or clearly covers online sweepstakes casinos.
  • Law enacted, not yet in effect A statute covering online sweepstakes casinos is enacted and takes effect later.
  • Regulator or attorney-general action No specific statute, but a documented regulator or attorney-general action aimed at online sweepstakes casinos.
  • Related law, not specific A statute in effect reaches unlicensed online gaming or undefined illegal sweepstakes generally, but its text does not name online sweepstakes casinos.
  • Bills, no law Bills on online sweepstakes casinos were introduced in 2025 or 2026; none was enacted.
  • Nothing specific found No specific statute, bill or enforcement found in the sources we checked.

A status describes the documents we found, not whether any product is lawful in a state. Statutes and court decisions control; for advice, ask a lawyer licensed there.
