Connecticut and Louisiana lawmakers approve sweepstakes casino bans
Connecticut and Louisiana lawmakers approved bills targeting online sweepstakes casinos, with both measures awaiting their governors’ decisions as of 4 June 2025. Connecticut’s bill also permits certain multi-jurisdictional online gaming agreements and tournament bets on in-state college teams; Louisiana’s bill carries penalties of up to $100,000 and five years’ imprisonment. The Social and Promotional Gaming Association criticised the Louisiana measure.
Operators in both states face proposed restrictions, while Connecticut’s bill also provides for limited online gaming agreements.
