Indiana sweepstakes casinos with redeemable Sweeps Coins are banned under HB 1052, in force since July 1, 2026. What Indiana players can still do: most operators keep a Gold Coins-only "social mode" for the state (Crown Coins, Chumba and others), with no prizes, and real-money play is limited to the Hoosier Lottery and licensed retail casinos. Anyone who held Sweeps Coins should have redeemed them before the cut-off; contact the operator about any balance that remains.

What it means for players in Indiana

  • New accounts: operators that follow the law block sign-ups from Indiana.
  • Existing balances: many operators give a window to redeem eligible Sweeps Coins. Verify your identity and request any redemption promptly.
  • Location checks: do not use a VPN or false details. It breaks the terms and can void your account and prizes.
  • Travel: availability depends on where you are when you play, not where you live.

Which casinos have left Indiana?

Casinos announce state exits on their own sites, usually by email and in-app notice, so the details differ by operator. We add a dated line to our changelog when we confirm one. Until then, assume any sweepstakes casino follows the law in Indiana and check its terms.

Alternatives in Indiana

Sweepstakes casinos are not the only way to play. Social casinos with no redeemable prizes, state lotteries and, where legal, licensed regulated gaming remain options. Always check the rules that apply to you, and play for entertainment only.
