banned Banned in New York

SB 5935 signed Dec 2025. All major platforms exited.

New York has closed the door on dual-currency sweepstakes casinos, so we do not list any site as available here. Operators that still let a New York address register are usually running in Gold Coin (entertainment) mode only, with no cash prize redemption. Treat any offer that says otherwise as a red flag.

Sites that name New York in their own terms

22 of the casinos on our board exclude NY in their terms of service. These will refuse registration or redemption from a New York address.

FAQ

Are sweepstakes casinos legal in New York?

No. SB 5935 signed Dec 2025. All major platforms exited. We do not list any sweepstakes casino as available in New York.

Can I still play in New York with Gold Coins?

Some operators keep a Gold Coin (entertainment only) mode open in New York. There is no cash prize redemption in that mode, so there is nothing to grind for.

What happens to my Sweeps Cash balance in New York?

Operators that exited New York set redemption deadlines when they left. If you hold a balance, contact that operator's support directly; the terms on our review page carry their stated policy.

Availability comes from each operator's own terms of service, read on the date noted in our data, and from the legal status we track on the 50-state guide. Operators change their state lists without notice and the law is moving in several states. Check the operator's terms before you buy anything.
