Which States Can Claim These Offers
Four states are closed. Everywhere else in the country can claim normally.
The Four Exclusions
Washington, Nevada and Idaho have been closed to sweeps play for years, and California was added to the exclusion lists in January 2026. All eighteen sites on this ranking enforce the same four.
Why Those Four
Washington operates the strictest online gaming statutes in the country. Nevada protects its licensed casino industry. Idaho rules the model out entirely. California is the recent change, and every operator updated its terms rather than test it in court.
It Follows Your Location
Eligibility depends on where you physically are, not where your card is registered. Cross into an excluded state and the account locks until you leave again.
Lists Get Amended Quietly
Eligible-state lists live inside the operator terms and change without announcement. We re-read all eighteen every month, but the site terms are always the authority.
Before You Register
- Check the eligible-state clause in the terms, usually near the top.
- Confirm the age floor. Most sites require 18, some 21, and a few states apply 21 regardless.
- Use your real address. A mismatch between account and ID is the top cause of blocked payouts.
- Do not use a VPN. It will not defeat location checks and it can void an account.
- If you move state, re-check eligibility before building a balance.
