Tennessee’s sweepstakes casino ban is bolstered by a felony law targeting prediction market manipulation.

Ban on Online Sweepstakes Casinos

On the final day of his decision window, Governor Bill Lee signed legislation prohibiting online sweepstakes casinos throughout Tennessee.

Creation of a Class E Felony for Market Manipulation

The same signing also established a new Class E felony aimed at manipulation of prediction markets.

Statewide Significance

This dual action makes Tennessee the seventh U.S. state to outlaw sweepstakes casino operations and positions it among the first states to criminalize prediction‑market manipulation.
