Maine sweepstakes casino ban bill moves closer to enactment
Legislation banning the operation of websites offering casino-style games based on sweepstakes has been approved by a Maine legislative committee.
The Maine Senate's Committee on Veterans and Legal Affairs has advanced a bill that could make online casino gaming that relies on dual-currency sweepstakes explicitly illegal to operate or promote in the state. Although it is a preliminary vote, the legislation could ensure that forthcoming licensed iGaming platforms have less competition for Maine residents' attention in the future.
