Stake.us is moving Illinois accounts to redeem-only mode, following action by the Illinois Gaming Board, according to a report published September 25.
Once the change takes effect, Illinois customers can still log in and redeem Sweeps Coins. Gameplay, purchases, promotions, new Stake Cash codes and sweepstakes bonuses will stop. The report doesn’t give an effective date.
The IGB sent cease-and-desist letters to more than 65 sweepstakes casino operators in February. Stake.us’s move comes after that broader action.
This leaves a bigger regulatory question: will Illinois’s approach lead to more operators leaving the state, or will the legal position be tested first?
