Methodology & disclaimer
This tracker reflects states where regulators have issued cease-and-desist actions, declared sweepstakes-model casinos illegal, or imposed restrictions, based on WeeBet's compliance monitoring. “Restricted” covers active scrutiny or partial limits; “prohibited” and “cease & desist” are harder stops. This is informational, not legal advice — the legal landscape shifts fast; confirm current status with the operator and your state regulator. See our responsible gambling resources.
