New York attorney general secures exit of 26 sweepstakes casinos
New York Attorney General Letitia James secured the withdrawal of 26 online sweepstakes casino platforms from the state after her office and the New York State Gaming Commission examined them. The platforms agreed to stop selling sweepstakes coins after receiving stop orders; the authorities said the sites let users gamble virtual currency for cash or prizes without state oversight.
The action removes 26 unlicensed platforms from New York and signals enforcement risk for operators using sweepstakes casino models.
