New York attorney general targets 26 online sweepstakes casinos
New York Attorney General Letitia James and the New York State Gaming Commission sent cease-and-desist letters to 26 online sweepstakes casinos, demanding they stop gambling activity the state considers prohibited. The platforms allegedly offered casino games and sports betting using virtual coins redeemable for cash or prizes.
The letters require the named platforms to stop activity that New York authorities say violates state gambling law.
