Several sweepstakes casino operators are already leaving or restricting access in Indiana and Maine before new state bans take effect in July. The affected brands include Modo.us, McLuck, Hello Millions, Jackpota, Mega Bonanza, PlayFame, SpinBlitz, Baba Casino, and ACE Casino.
The exits show how quickly operators are responding to new state laws. Indiana’s ban takes effect on July 1, 2026, while Maine’s ban takes effect in mid-July. For players, the key issue is timing: some sites have already shut off access, while others are giving users a short window to play, redeem, or close accounts.
Operators Are Using Different Exit Plans
Not every operator is leaving in the same way. Some are fully blocking both states, while others are only shutting down Sweeps Coin gameplay.
Mega Bonanza and Jackpota added Indiana and Maine to their prohibited territories on June 2, meaning players in those states no longer have access to Gold Coin or Sweeps Coin gameplay. That appears to be a full platform exit.
Other brands owned by B-Two Operations are taking a different approach. McLuck, Hello Millions, PlayFame, and SpinBlitz are still available for now, but their terms now say they will stop operating in Indiana on July 1, 2026, and in Maine on July 15, 2026. In practical terms, those brands appear to be staying open until close to the legal deadlines.
Modo.us has taken a narrower route. As of May 29, Indiana and Maine were added to the platform’s list of GC Only States. That means Sweeps Coin gameplay is no longer available, but Gold Coin play can continue. This is important because it shows some operators may try to keep free-play or social features active while removing prize-redemption play.
Baba Casino, ACE, and Other Brands Move Early
Other operators are moving before the July deadlines. ACE Casino added Indiana and Maine to its excluded markets on May 27, meaning both Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin gameplay are no longer available to players in those states.
Baba Casino is using a phased exit. The site stopped new account registrations from Indiana and Maine on May 17. It then stopped Gold Coin package purchases from those states on June 1. Existing players can continue to play and redeem Sweeps Coins until June 14, but account access from Indiana and Maine is expected to end after June 21.
A few other brands have already left at least one of the affected markets. Ruby Sweeps, Pulsz Casino, and Pulsz Bingo reportedly fully exited Indiana in May.
For players, these different timelines matter. Anyone in Indiana or Maine with an account at one of these platforms should check the site’s latest terms, redemption rules, and account notices. Some operators may allow redemptions for a limited period, while others may remove access more quickly.
Why Indiana and Maine Are Driving Exits
Indiana and Maine were among the first states in 2026 to pass direct bans on Sweeps Coin gameplay. Indiana’s law, HB 1052, targets online games using dual-currency or multi-currency systems that simulate casino-style or lottery-style games and offer cash prizes or chances to win cash.
Maine’s law, LD 2007, targets the sweepstakes model from another angle. It focuses on online games that use a dual-currency system and simulate gambling. It also addresses the common practice of selling one digital product, such as Gold Coins, while awarding a separate redeemable currency.
For readers newer to the space, our guide to the sweepstakes casino model explains why these dual-currency systems are central to the legal debate. Our broader list of sweepstakes casinos also shows how state availability can change by brand.
The larger takeaway is that operators are no longer waiting until laws take effect. Many are acting early to reduce risk. As more states pass bans or give regulators stronger enforcement powers, players may see more restricted-state updates, more “GC only” models, and more full exits across the US.
