Tennessee lawmakers end session without passing sweepstakes casino ban
Tennessee lawmakers ended their legislative session without agreeing on legislation to ban sweepstakes casinos. The House approved an amendment removing explicit references to the platforms, but the Senate rejected it; a proposed study of legalising and regulating them also failed. The attorney general has sent cease-and-desist letters to operators he alleges are running illegal gambling businesses.
Operators face continued enforcement uncertainty in Tennessee without a new law explicitly banning sweepstakes casinos.
