State Access
Sweeps casinos run on a promotional model rather than a gambling licence, which is why most of the country can play. Four states are closed.
The Four Closed States
Washington, Nevada, Idaho and California. Every operator on our board applies that block itself, at registration and again at verification. An account opened from one of those states will not pass the identity check and a withdrawal will not be processed.
That is the operators’ own legal decision and it is applied consistently across the market. There is no workaround we would publish.
The Rest Of The Country
Elsewhere you can register, take the free package and request payouts normally. Most sites set the minimum age at eighteen; a handful require twenty-one, which we note on the individual reviews.
What verification involves
Name, date of birth, address and usually a photo of a government ID. A few sites add a selfie step. It happens once per account and took anything from a few minutes to two days across the eighteen sites we funded.
Playing while travelling
Location is checked during play, not only at sign-up. Logging in from a closed state normally suspends play until you are back in an allowed one, so treat the four states as genuinely off limits.
Not Legal Advice
This page describes what we found in July 2026 while testing eighteen sites with our own accounts. Rules change, bills get filed and operators withdraw from markets. Read the operator terms for your own state before signing up, and ask their support in writing if anything is unclear.
