Some 40 sweepstakes casino sites have been shut down by the Tennessee Attorney General.  These include the popular Chumba Casino, Stake and High 5.  Chumba and High 5, in particular, advertise heavily on TV nationally in the US. 

State regulators claim such sites skirt gambling laws with “dual‑currency” models.

Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti announced in recent days his office has successfully halted the operation of multiple illegal online sweepstakes casinos in Tennessee.

The Attorney General sent formal cease-and-desist letters to almost forty online sweepstakes casinos operating illegally.

According to a statement from the AG's office, "all platforms that received a letter have already disabled the unlawful components of their platforms or have agreed on a date in the coming weeks for winding down their illegal services, effectively shutting down their illegal sweepstakes casinos."

Skrmetti specifically elaborated. 

“The only thing you can be sure about with an online sweepstakes casino is that it's going to take your money, said the Attorney General. “They work hard to make these sweepstakes casinos look legitimate, but at the end of the day they are not.

"They avoid any oversight that could ensure honesty or fairness. Our Office was glad to chase these shady operations out of Tennessee and will keep working to protect Tennesseans from illegal gambling.”

These are the sites sent cease and desist letters.  Each is expected to shutter in the coming weeks, if they haven't already.
