New York attorney general orders 26 sweepstakes casinos to end virtual coin sales
New York Attorney General Letitia James said her office and the New York State Gaming Commission identified 26 sweepstakes casinos and issued cease-and-desist orders. The orders required the platforms to end sales of virtual sweepstakes coins in the state; the Social and Promotional Games Association criticised the decision and said its attempts to engage officials had been ignored.
The orders require affected platforms to stop virtual coin sales in New York and set out the state’s enforcement position.
