Are Sweepstakes Casinos Legal in New York?
No — New York banned sweepstakes casinos when Senate Bill S5935A became law in December 2025. Here's what that means if you're a New York resident.
What Changed in New York
New York's S 5935A became law in December 2025, officially banning sweepstakes casinos in the state. New York joins California as one of the highest-profile states to shut down the dual-currency model, and every operator we track now excludes New York residents as a result.
What's Available in New York
Of the 6 sweepstakes casinos we rank, none currently offer full Sweeps Coin access to New York residents. Free Spin and Casino.Click still allow Gold-Coins-only play (no purchase, no real-money-equivalent prizes), but Sweeps Coin redemption is unavailable.
What This Means for You
If you're a New York resident, none of the operators we recommend can legally offer you real-prize sweepstakes play right now. We won't route you around the restriction — that puts both you and the operator at risk. If the law changes, we'll update this page.
