By Slots Messiah Editorial · Reviewed by Leslie V. · November 5, 2026Oklahoma's ban on dual-currency sweepstakes casino games took effect on Sunday, November 1, according to Deadspin, closing out a month of exits, restrictions and cutoff dates across the industry.
What SB 1589 covers
Senate Bill 1589 targets online casino-style games that use a "representative of value", which the enrolled text defines to include a currency in a dual-currency system that can be redeemed for prizes or cash. Deadspin reports that violations are a Class C2 felony carrying a fine of $500 to $2,000 and possible imprisonment. Liability is not limited to operators: the law reaches employees, geolocation and platform providers, game suppliers, promoters and media affiliates. Tribal gaming under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and charity games are exempt.
The bill passed the Senate 48-0 and the House 65-21. Governor Kevin Stitt vetoed it on May 7, and both chambers overrode the veto.
Who left and who stayed
Gambling Insider's October round-up and Deadspin list a long run of changes:
- Full exits: ACE Casino left on October 6. Stake.us became unavailable on October 30, though it has said eligible customers can still redeem Sweeps Coins. B-Two Operations' terms say McLuck, Hello Millions, SpinBlitz and PlayFame stopped operating in Oklahoma on November 1.
- Restricted: Blazesoft's Zula, Fortune Wins and Sportzino now list Oklahoma as restricted, and High 5 Casino ended access on October 29.
- Gold Coin only: Modo.us and Baba Casino kept free-to-play Gold Coin games but ended Sweeps Coin play. Several A1 Development brands also list Oklahoma as Gold Coin only.
What players should do now
Cutoff dates differed by operator and several have already passed. Baba, for example, has warned that coins left in Oklahoma accounts after its cutoff cannot be played or redeemed. Check each account's terms and any emails from the operator, and remember that identity verification can take several days before a redemption is approved.
No enforcement action under the new law had been announced as of November 3. For the wider picture across states, see our sweepstakes casino state tracker.
