The short answer
What features put a sweepstakes game within Maine’s definition? See the Maine evidence and the separate access rules for McLuck and Card Crush.
Maine’s title 8, chapter 38 prohibits online sweepstakes games within its definition and sets out penalties. LD 2007 became Public Law chapter 645 and took effect July 29, 2026. Maine Gambling Control Unit’s July 29 advisory Maine Revised Statutes, title 8 §1352
Access as of November 10, 2026. McLuck excludes Maine. Card Crush does not name the state in its territory exclusions, but its supplier restrictions still apply. We have not verified a game-led prize option here. McLuck’s November 4 terms · Card Crush’s August 5 terms
What features put a sweepstakes game within Maine’s definition?
The advisory identifies three features together: online access, dual currency and simulated casino play. Compare all three with the game, including how a player obtains the second currency. For a box-and-battle product, the relevant comparison is the prize-bearing session, not the number of cards in the deck.
