Sweepstakes casinos just can’t catch a break in the US at the moment. Montana is one step away from banning the iGaming loophole, which would make it the first state to actually ban them.
Currently sitting at 75% progression, outside of the Governor pushing back on the bill, Montana’s sweepstakes casino ban is a done deal. Both the state’s House and Senate have approved the bill, SB555.
Montana’s bill currently states that those who violate its rulings will find themselves lumped with a fine of “not more than $50,000” or “imprisoned for not more than 10 years, or both, for each violation.”
