Minnesota

Minnesota’s attorney general directed 14 online gambling operators to stop serving the state in November 2025. The action included sweepstakes sites whose virtual coins could be exchanged for prizes. It predates SF 4474, the 2026 bill that proposed a specific online sweepstakes prohibition. Minnesota attorney general’s November 2025 notice

Access as of November 10, 2026. Neither operator names Minnesota in its general territory exclusions. That leaves prize eligibility unconfirmed for both McLuck sweepstakes and Card Crush prize games: supplier rules and state law still apply. McLuck’s November 4 terms · Card Crush’s August 5 terms

Did the 2026 Senate vote create a new deadline for players?

No effective date appears in the SF 4474 record. The Senate passed it April 30, 2026; the House referred it to committee May 4. The earlier enforcement letters addressed named sites under existing law. Neither the vote nor the letters establish a deadline for an individual prize request.
