Minnesota attorney general orders 14 sweepstakes casinos to leave by 1 December
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison ordered 14 sweepstakes casinos to stop operating in the state by 1 December, saying their websites offer illegal gambling. In Utah, more than two dozen proposed class-action lawsuits against sweepstakes operators were filed in federal court this week.
The order sets a deadline for 14 operators to end Minnesota access, while Utah litigation adds legal challenges for sweepstakes platforms.
