Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has signed legislation banning online sweepstakes casinos, making the state the latest in a growing number of U.S. jurisdictions cracking down on casino-style gaming platforms that use virtual currencies and promotional systems.
Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has recently approved a new law that prohibits online sweepstakes casinos in the state. The legislation, a combination of Senate Bill 2136 and House Bill 1885, targets dual-currency sweepstakes platforms that offer games resembling traditional casino activities. This move aligns Tennessee with other U.S. states that are tightening regulations on gaming platforms using virtual currencies and promotional schemes.
