Louisiana senator proposes ban on sweepstakes casinos and suppliers
Louisiana state senator Adam Bass introduced Senate Bill 181, which would classify sweepstakes casinos as illegal gambling and bar suppliers and affiliate sites from working with them. The proposal would set fines of $10,000 to $100,000 for violations; the Social and Promotional Games Association opposed the bill.
The bill would expose sweepstakes operators, their suppliers and affiliate sites to restrictions and financial penalties in Louisiana.
