What this means for players

  • Operators may not offer dual-currency sweepstakes play to Washington residents. The ones we track have withdrawn.
  • We list no sweepstakes casino for Washington and we will not link you to one from this page.
  • If you still hold a balance with an operator, contact its support directly about withdrawing it. We cannot do that for you.

How the model works

Sweepstakes casinos were sold to Washington players as promotions rather than gambling: Gold Coins for play, Sweeps Coins redeemable for prizes, no purchase necessary to enter. The statute on this page rejects that reading and treats the dual-currency model as gambling.

We keep this record online because the ban is the single most useful fact about the state. Removing the page would only send players to sites that will happily take them.
