State Restrictions

Sweepstakes casino access in the United States is not one-size-fits-all. Each state sets (and updates) its own rules around sweepstakes-style promotional gaming, and those rules can change quickly. This page explains how state restrictions work at Mojogo Casino, why some jurisdictions are blocked, and what to do before you register, play with Sweeps Coins, or request a prize redemption.

Why State Rules Can Block Sweepstakes Casino Play

Sweepstakes casinos typically offer two in-site currencies: Gold Coins for entertainment play and Sweeps Coins (SC) that may be used for promotional play and, if eligible and requirements are met, can be redeemed for cash prizes. While this model is designed to follow sweepstakes and promotional law frameworks, states interpret and regulate these activities differently.

That means a state may restrict:

• Participation in Sweeps Coin promotions
• Sweepstakes-style prize redemption
• The ability to register, log in, or play at all
• Specific promo mechanics (mail-in entries, referral rewards, login rewards, etc.)

Mojogo Casino applies these restrictions to protect players and to stay compliant with applicable state rules.

Eligible States: Where You Can Play Right Now

If you are physically located in an eligible U.S. state or jurisdiction, you can generally register, collect promotional bonuses, play supported games, and use Sweeps Coins as offered.

Because eligibility can depend on both residency and your real-time location, the definitive check happens at registration, login, and during key actions like Sweeps Coin redemptions. If you pass the location checks, you’re good to play under the platform’s current rules.

Restricted States: Where Participation Is Not Available

At this time, Mojogo Casino restricts access in the following states:

California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Washington, West Virginia.

If you are located in one of the restricted states, you may be unable to:

• Create an account or complete registration
• Access Sweeps Coin gameplay
• Claim promotions (welcome offers, login rewards, referral rewards, coinback, VIP benefits, or AMOE mail-in rewards)
• Redeem Sweeps Coins for cash prizes
• In some cases, log in or play at all

Restrictions can apply even if you’re only visiting a restricted state temporarily, because enforcement is often based on where you are physically located at the moment you attempt to access the service.

Temporary Restrictions: The Surprise Blocks Players Don’t Expect

Even if your home state is eligible, you can be temporarily restricted for common reasons like:

• Traveling through a restricted state (road trips and layovers count)
• Using a VPN, proxy, or privacy relay that obscures your location
• A mismatch between your device location and IP location
• Incomplete account verification when trying to redeem prizes
• Compliance reviews triggered by unusual login patterns or rapid location changes

These restrictions are usually resolved by turning off location masking tools, allowing device location permissions, and retrying from an eligible jurisdiction.

How Geographic Verification Works (And Why It’s Required)

To follow state-by-state rules, Mojogo Casino may use location verification technology to confirm you’re in an eligible jurisdiction. This can happen at multiple points, including:

• Registration and account creation
• Login sessions (especially from a new device or network)
• When claiming Sweeps Coin promotions
• Before approving prize redemption requests

Location checks typically rely on signals such as IP address, device location services (with permission), and network identifiers. If your location can’t be verified, access to Sweeps Coin features or redemptions may be limited until verification succeeds.

Using VPNs or tools designed to hide location can cause failed checks. Even if your intent is privacy, the result can look like an attempted bypass, which can lead to temporary blocks or additional review.

Account Limits You Should Know Before You Play

State restrictions aren’t the only guardrails. Mojogo Casino also applies account limitations tied to promotions, redemption rules, and verification standards.

Sweeps Coins and redemptions are generally subject to:

• 1x playthrough on Sweeps Coins obtained through promotions before redemption eligibility
• A minimum redemption threshold of 100 SC (with 1 SC treated as equivalent to $1 USD)
• Possible daily redemption limits (the operator may apply a $1,000 daily limit at its discretion)
• A higher per-request cap for residents of New York and Florida: up to $5,000 per redemption request (where permitted)

Some games may contribute 0% toward playthrough requirements. The current excluded list is available inside your Profile dashboard.

Inactivity also matters:

• Sweeps Coins may expire after 60 days of inactivity
• After 12 consecutive months of inactivity, an account may be considered dormant and Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin balances may reset to zero

Finally, KYC verification is required before any Sweeps Coin redemption:

• Government-issued photo ID
• Proof of address

These measures help keep gameplay fair, prevent abuse, and meet compliance obligations across jurisdictions.

Moving or Traveling: What Happens to Your Access and Balances?

If you move to a restricted state or travel into one, your experience can change instantly.

Common scenarios:

• You live in an eligible state, then travel into a restricted state: you may be blocked from Sweeps Coin play and promotions while physically there. When you return to an eligible state and pass location checks again, access typically resumes.
• You relocate to a restricted state: you may lose ongoing access to Sweeps Coin features and redemptions. Depending on applicable rules, your account may be limited until you are back in an eligible jurisdiction.
• You start a redemption in an eligible state but travel before it completes: you may be asked to re-verify location, and processing can pause until you’re back in an eligible state and your identity and location are confirmed.

If you anticipate travel, it’s smart to avoid starting time-sensitive actions (like redemption requests or verification submissions) right before crossing into a restricted jurisdiction.

How Restrictions Can Change Your Gameplay, Promos, and SC Usage

When state restrictions apply, the impact can extend beyond simple login access.

Gameplay:

• Some or all games may be unavailable depending on jurisdictional requirements and enforcement.

Promotions:

• If your state is restricted, you typically cannot claim the welcome offer (300,000 Gold Coins + 2 SC) or ongoing promos like daily login rewards, coinback, referral rewards, VIP perks, and mail-in AMOE bonuses.
• Even if you claimed a promotion earlier, access to use associated Sweeps Coins can be paused if you enter a restricted jurisdiction.

Sweeps Coin usage and prize redemption:

• Sweeps Coin play may be blocked in restricted jurisdictions.
• Redemption requests require both KYC approval and successful location verification in an eligible jurisdiction at the time of processing.

Purchases and payment methods:

• Mojogo Casino supports USD and common payment rails like ACH, Visa, and MasterCard, but availability can still be affected by compliance rules and state-based eligibility checks.

The Smart Way to Check Eligibility Before You Register or Play

Because rules can change and enforcement is location-based, do a quick eligibility check before you put time into building balances or completing playthrough.

Practical tips:

• Confirm you are physically located in an eligible state before registering or logging in.
• Enable device location permissions for your browser/app during verification prompts.
• Avoid VPNs or proxies while playing or redeeming.
• Keep your profile details accurate and consistent, especially address information needed for KYC.

If you’re unsure whether your state is eligible today, your best source is the platform’s real-time checks at login and redemption. If anything doesn’t match, contact support before making purchases or starting a redemption request.

Staying Ahead of Rule Changes (So You Don’t Miss Out)

State positions on sweepstakes-style gaming can shift with new guidance, enforcement priorities, or legislative updates. Mojogo Casino may update availability, promotions, or redemption procedures accordingly.

To stay informed:

• Re-check eligibility when you travel, change devices, or switch networks
• Watch for in-account notices about policy updates or verification requirements
• If a feature suddenly disappears, assume a location check failed or a restriction changed and verify your connection and permissions
