On Nov. 18, Sweeps Play will no longer be available within the Chumba Casino and LuckyLand Slots platforms. The final step arrives Nov. 25, when all remaining Sweeps Coins must be redeemed before redemptions close.<\/p>\n<p>After that date, players can continue free-to-play entertainment with Gold Coins. Gold Coins do not have redemption value and function only as gameplay currency.<\/p>\n<p>The withdrawal marks the twelfth U.S. jurisdiction in which VGW has stopped offering Promotional Play. Recent exits include <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/vgw-pulls-sweepstakes-casino-play-from-mississippi\/\">Mississippi<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/vgw-ends-promotional-play-in-new-york-amid-legal-tensions\/\">New Jersey<\/a>, where uncertainty around sweepstakes-style casino operations has pushed several companies to reassess state-by-state regulatory conditions. The list of regions now excluding the sweepstakes platforms of VGW includes Connecticut, <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/vgw-luckyland-cease-order-issued\/\">Delaware<\/a>, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Washington, and West Virginia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"BetUS\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/BetUS.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/betus\/\" title=\"BetUS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">BetUS<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.

The business has recently shifted under <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/vgw-shareholders-back-escalante-buyout-as-firm-prepares-to-go-private\/\">full ownership of Laurence Escalante<\/a>. As part of that restructuring, the company has also <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/vgw-ends-canadian-operations-for-chumba-casino-and-global-poker\/\">withdrawn from Canada<\/a>, halting access to Chumba Casino and Global Poker there. Canadian players were directed to redeem remaining Sweeps Coins prior to Oct. 23, with gameplay access ceasing soon after.<\/p>\n<p>The company has described the changes in both the United States and Canada as commercial decisions aimed at focusing on regions determined to be more stable for its sweepstakes model. Many industry observers connect the moves to the ongoing rise in regulatory pushback around promotional sweepstakes structures that resemble online casino play.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>FAQ<\/h2>\n<h3>Which platforms are affected in West Virginia?<\/h3>\n<p>Chumba Casino, LuckyLand Slots, and Global Poker follow the same withdrawal schedule.<\/p>\n<h3>Can players still use the platforms after Nov. 25?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, but only with Gold Coins, which are for entertainment play only and cannot be redeemed.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/7-bit-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"7Bit Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7BitCasino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/7-bit-casino\/\" title=\"7Bit Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">7Bit Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong>\u00a0Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
