Lawmakers pass bill to ban online sweepstakes casinos in Tennessee

Changes could be coming to which online gambling platforms are accessible by Tennessee residents, as state lawmakers in a conference committee agreed to pass legislation to prohibit dual-currency online sweepstakes casinos from operating in the Volunteer State.
