The Law

SWEEPSTAKES CASINOS AND THE LAW

In many states the laws are clear – sweepstakes casinos are illegal gambling operations.  Some states have laws that allow people to sue illegal gambling businesses and recover their losses.  Learn more about these laws, why they exist, and how you can use them in the video and guide below.

GAMBLING LOSS RECOVERY LAWS PUNISH ILLEGAL CASINOS AND HELP YOU RECOVER YOUR LOSSES

Many states have “gambling loss recovery laws” (sometimes also known as “loss recovery acts”).  The details of the laws law vary from state to state, but these statutes let consumers sue to get back money lost to illegal, unlicensed gambling operations.  In some states, family members can sue to recover money lost by their loved ones as well.  Several states even increase the recovery, sometimes doubling or tripling the losses, to punish the illegal gambling operators.

Why do these laws exist?  To punish illegal gambling businesses and to protect consumers.  When an illegal gambling operation must return the money it won, its business model becomes unprofitable.  Lawmakers want to punish the illegal operations so that only the legal, licensed casinos can survive.  Also, llegal, unlicensed gambling businesses are unregulated and frequently take advantage of innocent people.  Consumers can face problems with unpaid winnings, unfair odds, no transparency about the real odds, and more.  Loss recovery laws help fix this problem by allowing people to sue to recover their losses from illegal gambling operators.

In many states, sweepstakes casinos are illegal gambling businesses and exactly the kind of operations which people can sue to recover their losses.
