Check The Map Before You Chase

Most of America is open ground for sweeps play. Four states are not, and one of them closed recently enough to still catch people out.

Blocked: WA, NV, ID And Now CA

Washington, Nevada and Idaho have kept sweeps casinos out for years, each drawing its gambling statutes wide enough to capture the model. California, the industry’s biggest former market, followed when AB 831 came into force in January 2026. Every operator on our board geoblocks these four states at registration and again at redemption.

Open: The Other 46

Elsewhere the promotional-sweepstakes framing holds and play is broadly permitted. A handful of states apply quirks, reduced prize caps or modified bundles, so identical offers can look slightly different across a state line. None of this affects legality, only the fine print.

The Sixty-Second Rule

Operators maintain their own eligible-states pages and update them faster than any review site can follow a legislature. Before creating an account, spend sixty seconds finding your state on that page. It is the single cheapest piece of due diligence in this hobby, and we recheck our own map monthly regardless.

Why The Patchwork Exists

American gambling law is written fifty different ways in fifty capitols. Most legislatures accept that a free-entry promotion is not a wager; the four holdouts either define gambling more broadly or, in California’s case, passed AB 831 to target the category by name. Expect the map to keep moving and check back each cycle.
