What the Law Says in California
California's AB 831, signed in October 2025, bans dual-currency sweepstakes casinos. It also makes it unlawful for payment processors, game suppliers, platforms and media affiliates to knowingly support or promote them.
- •AB 831 — in force since January 1, 2026
California was the largest sweepstakes market in the US, estimated at roughly 17–20% of industry revenue before the ban.
Social casinos with no redeemable prizes are separate and can still operate.
Can You Play AceBet in California?
AceBet.cc's rules treat California differently from most states: it doesn't sell Gold Coin packages there. Because California law bans dual-currency sweepstakes casinos, GetDGN doesn't offer code DGN or AceBet sign-up links to California residents.
What California Players Can Do Instead
- Social casinos that use only Gold Coins, with no redeemable prizes, are treated as entertainment and remain available in most states.
- You can still watch High Stakes Hugs and Boma Spins play live every day on Kick.
