Sweepstakes casinos are now off limits in Oklahoma. The state’s new law came into force on Saturday, November 1, and offering Sweeps Coin games to anyone there is now a felony.
Under Senate Bill 1589, a coin that can be cashed in for prizes now falls inside the state’s legal definition of something of value. That puts the two-coin setup behind Stake.us, Modo, McLuck and most other US sweepstakes casinos on the wrong side of Oklahoma’s gambling law. Over the course of October, sites shut off Sweeps Coins for Oklahoma accounts, and a handful pulled out altogether.
Who’s leaving, and how
Not every operator has handled the exit the same way. According to exit notices tracked by Sweepsy, some have kept a Gold Coin-only social casino running in Oklahoma, while others have shut off access completely.
