Tennessee Legislator Files Bill to Ban Online Sweepstakes Casino Games
Proposal would add the operation or promotion of games to explicit violations of the state's consumer protection law and empower prosecutors in Tennessee.
Tennessee has joined the contingent of states that have at minimum considered a ban on casino-style, sweepstakes-based online games with the introduction of a bill toward that end.
