How location checks work

State-licensed casinos use geolocation services that check your device’s location before and during play. VPNs and location spoofing are detected and lead to blocked play or account closure. Near state borders, location checks can be strict — move further inside the state if you get an error.

Availability of Sweet Bonanza

Each game must be approved for each state. Industry reports state that Pragmatic Play holds approvals in states including New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan, but the games on offer vary by casino. Search the casino lobby in your state and confirm the RTP in the game information.

Self-exclusion by state

Each regulated state runs a self-exclusion program that blocks you from all licensed operators in that state. You can usually enrol online through the regulator. Casinos also offer their own limits and cool-off periods. Help is available at 1-800-GAMBLER.

States without legal online casinos

If your state is not listed, real-money online casino play is not legal there. Sweepstakes casinos have been banned in several of those states, and offshore sites are not legal alternatives. The free Sweet Bonanza demo remains legal everywhere. Read more in is Sweet Bonanza legal in the US? and sweepstakes casinos.
