Ohio

Ohio’s gambling statute includes provisions on sweepstakes prizes and a regime for certain sweepstakes terminal devices. The statutory category of the device and the kind of prize matter. Ohio Revised Code §2915.02

Access as of November 10, 2026. Neither operator names Ohio 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

Is the advertised authorization for a terminal or an online game?

Ask for the registered entity and the actual device described. Ohio’s terminal provisions do not turn a registration for a physical terminal into authorization for a remote website. For a phone app, identify what game runs on the phone and whether the award can be exchanged for money or merchandise.

To distinguish a play mode from the prize it offers, compare how the models award value.

Next change: no future effective date for either model is confirmed in the sources cited here.
