Minnesota attorney general warns 14 gambling operators to stop offering sites
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison issued a notice on 5 November warning 14 operators, including VGW, Zula Casino and Fortune Coins, to stop offering their gambling products in the state. Ellison’s office said the sweepstakes sites may violate consumer-protection laws and argued that their prize, chance and consideration features meet Minnesota’s lottery definition.
The notice puts sweepstakes casino operators on notice of potential consumer-protection and lottery-law enforcement in Minnesota.
