New York’s Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law §912 prohibits operating or promoting online sweepstakes games within its definition. S5935A was signed and took effect on December 5, 2025; section 3 of the final act made it effective immediately. The statute addresses games using a dual-currency system that allows a participant to exchange qualifying currency for cash prizes or equivalents, alongside simulated casino gaming.

Which model does that cover?

Dual-currency sweepstakes. Read the actual mechanics against the statutory definition. New York’s attorney general had already announced action against a group of online sweepstakes casinos in June 2025. That enforcement event and the later enacted statute are separate entries in the legislation tracker. New York attorney general’s June 2025 announcement

Game-led prize platforms. A platform’s inclusion of a card collection or its own description of its currency does not resolve every question under New York law. For a particular platform, check its current terms and the authority for the underlying prize activity. Card Crush’s August 5 terms do not establish that a prize activity is authorized in New York. We have no verified game-led prize option here.
