Mississippi bill goes on step further than most to completely ban sweepstakes

A bill in Mississippi seeks to ban all online sweepstakes casinos, with felony penalties of up to $100,000 fine, 10 years in prison, and asset forfeiture.

Mississippi’s Senate Bill 2104 aims to amend official state law to includes “any online, interactive, or computerized version of games within the prohibition on betting, gaming, or wagering”. That would effectively ban any online sweepstakes casinos, going one step further than some other states that are pursuing similar legislation but focused on dual-currency games.
