Sweepstakes casinos are legal in most US states under federal sweepstakes law. However, individual operators may restrict additional states based on their own legal counsel.

States where sweepstakes casinos generally do not operate

• Washington (WA) — Excluded by most operators due to state gambling statute interpretation
• Idaho (ID) — Excluded by most operators
• Michigan (MI) — Excluded by many operators due to state regulatory approach
• Nevada (NV) — Some operators exclude
• New York (NY) — Some operators exclude

Always check the operator’s state list

Every brand publishes its state availability list in the Terms of Service. If your state is excluded, the operator will not let you complete signup. CasinoRats does not maintain a real-time state list because operators update theirs without notice — the canonical source is always the brand’s Terms.

Age requirements by state

18+ in most states. 21+ in Massachusetts, Mississippi, and some other jurisdictions. Operators enforce this at registration.
