One brand may accept your state while another excludes it. Rules and enforcement also change over time. Use the current operator terms to check eligibility. This page is general information, not legal advice.
How exclusions work
Find the excluded-territories section of the operator’s terms or sweepstakes rules. If your location is restricted, do not register or assume a balance will be redeemable.
Commonly excluded states
Excluded-state lists differ between brands and can change quickly. An old list or another player’s experience is not enough to confirm access. Check the current rules for the specific operator.
Age requirements
Read the age condition for your location, including any 21+ requirement. Expect an age and identity check before prize redemption.
States with licensed real-money online casinos
Licensed real-money casinos use a different model from the sweepstakes brands covered here. Availability under one model does not establish eligibility under the other.
How to check, step by step
- Open the operator's Terms of Service or Sweepstakes Rules.
- Search the page for "excluded," "void," or "restricted territories."
- Check the age requirement for your state.
- Note the date the terms were last updated.
Moving or traveling
Check restrictions for both your residence and your current location, especially when traveling. Trying to bypass a restriction with a VPN can breach account rules.
