Tennessee and Oklahoma lawmakers advance bills targeting sweepstakes casinos
Tennessee’s Senate Bill 2136 defines online sweepstakes games and allows the attorney general to investigate them as deceptive business practices, while Oklahoma’s Senate Bill 1589 adds online casino-style games to prohibited gambling activities. The report says Oklahoma’s bill would take effect in November 2026 if signed by the governor; both measures remain bills in the account provided.
The proposed provisions could expose sweepstakes gaming operators and related service providers to new state enforcement or criminal rules.
