State Restrictions

Sweepstakes casinos operate under a mix of federal and state laws, and state regulators decide whether sweepstakes-style gaming is permitted, limited, or prohibited. That means your ability to register, claim bonuses, redeem Sweeps Coins, or receive prizes can change depending on the state you are physically in when you play. We recommend confirming your eligibility before creating an account or using promotional credits so you don’t run into blocked access or withheld rewards.

Which states currently affect TaoFortune Casino offers

For TaoFortune Casino, some promotional offers and free Secret Coins are not available in certain states. The following states are excluded from many no-deposit and promotional offers: Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New York, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin.

• Example: the Welcome No Deposit Bonus (250000 Tao Coins and 1 Secret Coin) and several daily and referral promotions are not available in the states listed above.
• Note: Purchased Secret Coins and paid packages are handled differently in some jurisdictions. Always check the offer page and the terms and conditions that accompany each promotion.

If your state is not on this list, you may still face other limits based on state law or verification results. Always confirm eligibility before completing a purchase or relying on a bonus.

Temporary restrictions and regulatory updates you should watch

State rules can change quickly. Regulators may impose temporary restrictions for reasons such as license reviews, legal challenges, or emergency orders. A promotion or the entire platform could be paused in a state on short notice.

• We advise checking the site notices and the specific offer terms before you play.
• Sign up for email alerts or follow the site’s help center to receive timely updates about state-specific changes.
• If a temporary restriction affects you, promotional activation, prize redemption, or account access may be suspended until the issue is resolved.

How geographic verification works — what we ask and why

To comply with state laws, sweepstakes platforms use geographic verification tools that determine your physical location at the time of play. Typical methods include:

• Device geolocation via GPS when you access the site from mobile devices.
• Wi‑Fi and cell tower triangulation to confirm general area.
• IP address mapping with third-party geolocation providers.
• Payment method checks, such as ACH and card billing address verification.
• SMS verification or other identity checks for prize processing.

You may be asked to enable location services in your browser or app. If verification fails, access to bonuses, Sweeps Coin purchases, or prize redemption may be restricted. These measures are standard industry practice and help ensure compliance with state regulations.

Account limitations you need to know

State rules and platform policy create several account-level limits you should expect:

• Bonus exclusions — specific bonuses may not be available in certain states, as listed above.
• Wagering and redemption limits — winnings from free Secret Coins are capped; for example, winnings from promotional Secret Coins may be limited to $25 per offer, while purchased Secret Coins often have no cap.
• Activity rules — accounts inactive for extended periods (for example, 180 days) may be subject to deletion.
• Anti-abuse enforcement — multiple accounts or other bonus-abuse behavior can result in forfeiture of prizes and account closure.
• Maximum thresholds — some promotions carry specific redemption ceilings, such as a $50 limit on certain referral rewards.

Always read the terms and conditions linked to each promotion to understand the exact limits that apply to your account.

What happens if you move or travel through a restricted state

If you travel or relocate to a restricted state, your access can change immediately:

• While physically inside a restricted state, you may be blocked from logging in, purchasing Sweeps Coins, claiming bonuses, or redeeming prizes.
• If your account is active and you move permanently, you may need to update your account information and verify your new location. Some states may require suspension or closure of the account.
• Temporary travel may result in a session timeout or a temporary block until the site confirms you are in an eligible location again.

We recommend pausing play and contacting support before traveling if you expect to cross state lines that may affect your account.

How state rules affect gameplay, promotions, Sweeps Coin usage, and prize redemption

State regulations can influence almost every part of your sweepstakes experience:

• Gameplay — access to specific games or RNG categories may be limited in certain states.
• Promotions — sign-up bonuses, daily awards, and referral rewards can be unavailable or have different caps in restricted states.
• Sweeps Coin usage — in some jurisdictions, promotional Secret Coins may be disabled, or their redemption value may be limited.
• Prize redemption — even if you win, prize verification and payout methods may require additional identity checks or be delayed while legality is confirmed.

Example: a player who signs up outside an excluded state may receive a free Secret Coin that carries a $25 redemption cap. If that player later moves to an excluded state, the platform may withhold prize payouts until the player returns to an eligible location or completes required verification.

How to check eligibility, stay informed, and get help

Before registering or spending money, follow these steps to confirm where you can play:

1. Review the promotion terms and the site’s state-restrictions page for the most current exclusions.
2. Attempt registration — the geolocation check will usually indicate if your state is restricted.
3. Use the site’s FAQ or Help Center for state-specific guidance.
4. Contact customer support via live chat or email at support@taofortune.com if you need clarification about your state.
5. Keep your account information current, including billing address and phone number, to avoid verification delays.

We suggest bookmarking the site’s policy page and enabling notifications for regulatory updates so you receive alerts about changes that could affect play or payouts.
