WOW Vegas Announces Skywind Game No Longer Available

There's been a lot of turmoil in the sweepstakes casino industry in the United States. 

Montana, Connecticut, and New Jersey have banned them; there's a bill that's a governor's signature away from banning them in New York; California's AB 831 is headed for the Senate; and also in California, the Los Angeles City attorney filed a lawsuit against the Stake.us operator and several game studios. 

In response, game studios have begun leaving platforms and the United States as a whole. 

The latest development is Skywind games leaving WOW Vegas as of Sept. 5.

Lawsuit Seemingly Changing Things?

This lawsuit in California isn't filed by a player, and that's certainly changing things. 

With players, lawsuits typically result in arbitration due to the terms of use. We saw it earlier this year in a case in California involving Stake.us. 

However, it is on behalf of the Los Angeles City attorney, and it says that Sweepsteaks Ltd. (the Stake.us operator) and several game providers are part of an illegal gambling ring. 

From here, it remains to be seen if more game providers will leave certain platforms or the United States as a whole. One angle could be to reposition itself later when there's regulation or perhaps, for some providers, break into the real-money casino space. 

We'll keep you updated on any more game provider exits should they arise.
