Sweepstakes Casinos in Montana: Banned
No. Montana has a law in force that bans sweepstakes-model casinos (effective October 1, 2025).
Montana Law Summary
Senate Bill 555 (2025) amended the definition of prohibited "internet gambling" in MCA 23-5-112 to include online casinos by whatever name known, including any platform, website or application that accepts bets using any form of currency and makes payouts in any form of currency; online casinos that use no currency of any kind remain permitted. The measure targets sweepstakes-casino operators without naming the dual-currency model explicitly, and violations fall under Montana's existing criminal penalties for illegal gambling. It was signed May 23, 2025 and took effect October 1, 2025.
