B-Two Operations, the company behind popular sweepstakes casino brands like Hello Millions, McLuck, PlayFame, and SpinBlitz, has decided to restore its platforms in both Alabama and Georgia.
B-Two Removed Alabama, Georgia From Its Excluded States List
Earlier this month, B-Two updated the terms and conditions for four of its sites listed above, removing Alabama and Georgia from their restricted lists. Players can now buy coins, redeem prizes, and play casino-style games.
It should be noted that two other B-Two platforms, Mega Bonanza and Jackpota, continue to exclude both Alabama and Georgia residents.
B-Two’s exit from the two southern states was likely due to ongoing lawsuits. There are at least 13 active legal actions filed against several sweeps operators in Alabama.
These lawsuits are targeting VGW (parent company of Chumba Casino, Global Poker, and LuckyLand Slots), Stake.us, WOW Vegas, and Blazesoft Limited (the holding company of Fortune Coins and Sportzino).
Other sweeps sites like Sidepot, Spree, Thrillzz, and Pulsz had also blocked Alabama players.
Georgia, meanwhile, has seen less legal action. A lawsuit was filed in 2024 against VGW but was dismissed later that year when the court ruled that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the case.
VGW’s terms and conditions specify all court cases must take place in either Delaware federal court or Malta.
Last month, the US District Court for the Northern District of Georgia also granted VGW’s motion to dismiss a class-action lawsuit filed by plaintiff Destiny Kennedy.
New Jersey, California Taking Action Against Sweeps Operators
New Jersey is set to become the next state to outlaw sweepstakes casinos.
If Gov. Phil Murphy does not sign or veto Assemblyman Clinton Calabrese’s Assembly Bill 5447 by Thursday, the measure will automatically become law in the Garden State.
New Jersey gives governors 45 days to act on a bill before it passes without a signature. The bill to ban sweepstakes casinos was on Murphy’s desk on July 1 following Senate approval on June 30.
Another state seeking to ban the gaming platforms is California.
The California Senate Public Safety Committee unanimously advanced Assembly Bill 831 last month. The bill’s sponsor, Assemblymember Avelino Valencia, said the measure helps close a loophole that sweeps operators use to remain available online.
B-Two pulled four of its sites — Hello Millions, Mega Bonanza, PlayFame, and SpinBlitz — out of the Golden State last month after AB 831 advanced in the legislature.
The California legislative session runs until Sept. 12, but bills can carry over into the 2026 session.
