Key Points

Numerous sweepstakes casinos have stopped doing business altogether in Indiana
Indiana law banning casino-style dual-currency games takes effect today
Other operators have also or alternatively pulled out of multiple other states recently

Prominent sweepstakes casino brand MyPrize.us is one of many operators in the space who have responded to Indiana’s new statute banning their games by adding Indiana to their list of restricted jurisdictions. The law, which Gov. Mike Braun finalized in March, takes effect on July 1, 2026.

The operators of some websites have responded to the status change in Indiana by removing access to digital dual-currency packages, hoping to avoid running afoul of the law by only offering single-currency play in Indiana. While Indiana courts may yet weigh in on that issue, some sweepstakes casino sites are also winding down operations in Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, and Tennessee.

MyPrize, others add Indiana to restricted jurisdictions lists

MyPrize has updated its terms of use to reflect updated laws in multiple U.S. states, including Indiana. The newly effective statute allows for fines of up to $100,000 for individuals who operate websites in violation of the ban on online games that resemble casino games and use dual-currency systems to award prizes.

Numerous other sweepstakes casino brands have recently changed their policies affecting complete exits from Indiana besides MyPrize.

So far, Indiana law enforcement and gambling regulators have not announced any actions taken against any sweepstakes casino operators regarding compliance with the new law. Some websites’ decisions to merely curtail their operations in the state may draw that attention, though.

Some sweepstakes casino sites testing the application of new ban

Multiple sweepstakes casino sites have announced that they are ending their use of dual-currency systems for Indiana players but are otherwise continuing to offer their games. Examples of these sites include Sweepico and VegasWay.

The changes to these sites for Indiana users involve restricting digital currency access to gold coins only, which are available for purchase but cannot be redeemed for real-money prizes. In theory, operators could argue that the lack of a dual-currency system and the inability to exchange the single currency for anything of real-world value put them into compliance with the law.

However, Indiana authorities may still conduct investigations because the games on these sites continue to resemble casino experiences like slots. If officials push the issue, companies behind these sites may choose to exit Indiana rather than spend the resources necessary to prove their cases in court.

More companies have made that choice in Iowa and Maine as well.

Companies making moves to leave other states

Most of the same sites to add Indiana to their restricted jurisdictions have also responded to Louisiana’s, Maine’s, and Tennessee’s bans on sweepstakes casino sites in the same fashion. Examples include Lavish Luck, which only recently added Indiana to its excluded jurisdictions.

Luck Party has updated its terms to exclude Maine but not Louisiana or Tennessee at this point. Play Fame and Spin Blitz have exited Louisiana and Maine but not Tennessee so far.

Sites like Lucky Bunny Casino have gone a step further and also shut down their operations in Iowa. Although Iowa is different from the other states mentioned because it has not passed a law explicitly banning sweepstakes casinos, it has enacted a statute that gives gambling regulators authority to demand that unlicensed gambling websites cease doing business in the state.

High 5 Casino announced an Iowa exit last month as well. Others exercising caution in Iowa include Baba Casino and Sidepot Casino. More changes of this kind may follow, so sweepstakes casino players should look for announcements on websites and emails from operators over the coming months.
