Indiana's ban on online sweepstakes casinos using a dual-currency model took effect on Wednesday after House Bill 1052 became law, prompting many of the industry's largest operators to stop offering redeemable sweepstakes games in the state.
Indiana implemented a ban on online sweepstakes casinos that utilize Gold Coins for gameplay and Sweeps Coins that can be exchanged for cash prizes. This move follows the enactment of House Bill 1052, forcing major operators to discontinue offering sweepstakes games that fall under the new legislation.
The new law specifically targets online sweepstakes casino-style platforms, leading to the withdrawal of various industry leaders from the state in compliance with the regulations. Operators are ceasing to provide redeemable sweepstakes games to Indiana residents due to the prohibition imposed by the recent legislation.
