Enforcement & compliance

VGW said it will end Promotional Play in Mississippi, with the first phase beginning on 31 July. Players will lose access to Sweeps Coins in stages: play ends on 14 August, and redemption requests stop on 4 September. The company’s decision follows a cease-and-desist order from the Mississippi Gaming Commission, according to the report.

Mississippi operators and suppliers face a changed competitive landscape as VGW withdraws its sweepstakes play in the state.
