Connecticut Cracks Down on Sweepstakes Casinos

February 14 witnessed a public hearing for Senate Bill 1235 in the Constitution State.  It's a bill to ban sweepstakes casinos from the state.

Unlike a real money online casino, sweepstakes casinos reel in gaming enthusiasts with the promise of free play via virtual gold coins.  Purchases are ultimately encouraged, and these are made via credit cards or linked bank accounts.

One of the clauses in SB 1235 stipulates that “persons conducting sweepstakes or promotional drawings shall not allow or facilitate participation in certain real or simulated online casino gaming or sports wagering”.

Gambling911.com does not yet have a clear picture of what transpired during Friday's hearing.

Sweepstakes casinos operate in a legal gray area with a loophole.  Others states, including New York and Mississippi, are taking steps to eradicate these businesses.
