(AsiaGameHub) – Senate Bill 2136 was approved by the state legislature earlier this year and subsequently presented to Governor Bill Lee.
US.- Tennessee Governor Bill Lee has enacted Senate Bill 2136 into law, prohibiting online sweepstakes casinos across the state. The legislation, introduced by Senator Joey Hensley, cleared the legislature earlier this year prior to reaching the governor.
The new law prohibits dual-currency gaming systems, where providers use two types of virtual currency—one available for purchase and another given freely with purchases or via promotions. The prohibition covers simulations of slots, video poker, table games, bingo, and sports betting.
Last December, Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti issued cease-and-desist orders to nearly forty online sweepstakes casinos functioning within the state. In related developments, online sweepstakes casinos will also be outlawed in Oklahoma following the Legislature’s override of Governor Kevin Stitt’s veto of Senate Bill 1589, which had been passed by both houses earlier this year. Separately, Maine Governor Janet Mills has approved legislation that bans online sweepstakes games.
