A US sweepstakes-model social casino
Visit LoneStar →LoneStar welcome bonus in United States
Context for United States: The United States regulates online gambling state by state, not nationally, so an offer on this page is only claimable if you are physically located in a state where that operator holds a licence - most US states license no online casino or poker at all. Check the state, not the country. The Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement lets state-regulated poker operators pool players across state lines; as of April 2026 its members are Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Nevada also requires an online operator to partner with an in-state casino, keeping its poker market small. SWEEPSTAKES CASINOS ARE A SEPARATE, RAPIDLY CLOSING CATEGORY: dual-currency sites (Gold Coins to play, Sweeps Coins redeemable for cash) are being banned outright, not regulated, in a growing list of states including Montana, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, California, Nevada, Maine, Indiana and Oklahoma. Sources disagree on the exact total, so check your own state rather than any single figure - and note these laws can reach payment processors and affiliates too, not just the operator.
Here is the current LoneStar welcome offer for players in United States. Bonus terms change and are set by LoneStar for each market — always confirm the live offer on its own site. See every licensed betting site in United States →
Before you sign up: the sweepstakes model is being banned state by state
This is a sweepstakes site, not a licensed real-money casino. It runs the dual-currency model - Gold Coins for play, Sweeps Coins redeemable for prizes - which operated for years in a legal grey area because no regulator had addressed it directly. That has changed.
Eight US states had banned sweepstakes casinos outright by mid-2026 - though sources disagree on exactly which eight, which tells you how fast this is moving. One list gives Montana, Nevada, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, California, Indiana and Maine; another gives California, Connecticut, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Louisiana and Oklahoma. Treat both as indicative and check your own state. California ended on 1 January 2026 under AB 831 - reportedly removing about a fifth of national revenue across the segment - and Indiana under House Bill 1052 from 1 July 2026. Enforcement is active elsewhere: the Illinois Gaming Board and Attorney General sent cease-and-desist letters to 65 sweepstakes operators, Tennessee's Attorney General wrote to nearly 40 in December 2025, and Kentucky's Attorney General has sued VGW over Chumba Casino, Global Poker and LuckyLand Slots.
Practical consequences for you: a site lawful where you live today may withdraw from your state at short notice, cash redemption is often disabled state by state before a full exit, and a sweepstakes operator is not covered by the licensing protections a state-regulated casino must provide. Check the operator's current state list before you buy anything.
