All Social Casino news

In some welcome news in the increasingly popular world of social casinos in the US, one major player, Zula Casino, has just released its latest outstanding welcome bonus offer - 120,000 Gold Coins and 10 Sweeps Coins. Zula Social Casino, which has been making waves since 2023 with its many games (including a vast selection of the most famous slot titles like Scorching Hot 7s, Sword of Z, and Rags to Riches Diamond), has just released its latest welcome bonus offer, a deal that will astound all players who are looking for a big break in their social gameplay. Better and more exciting gameplay and deals for everyone Zula Casino has announced that its previous welcome bonus offer of 100,000 Gold Coins and 10 free Sweeps Coins has lately been increased to 120,000 Gold Coins and 10 free Sweeps Coins. This announcement is truly welcomed by players from different US states, especially since Zula Casino continues to become a leading player in the social casino marketplace. But this isn't the end of it - Zula Casino also points out that it has added to its games roster, now with more than 750 games, as opposed to the previous 700. The games on Zula's list are extensive, featuring not just the beloved slot games but also other "hot" games such as Wild Buffalo, TNT Bonanza 2, Fire Stampede, Big Bass, and Super X, among many others. But the new game lineup at Zula Casino consists of superb titles like Diamond Explosion 7s, Shining Hot 20, Tic Tac Take, Joker Gold 7s, Rock Vegas Mega Hold & Spin, Snakes and Ladders, and other striking games that are designed with the modern casino player in mind. Also, as Zula Casino has always pointed out, these games were developed by the most exclusive software providers in the casino industry, and it includes names such as Pragmatic Play, Kalamba Games, EvoPlay, Booming Games, and more. More details emerge about the Zula welcome bonus For those who are interested in signing up for Zula Casino, this is how the new welcome bonus offer works. As mentioned, new registrants at Zula Casino will get an amazing welcome bonus of 120,000 Gold Coins and 10 Sweeps Coins. Since Zula Casino is a social casino, there is no risk to players’ money because everyone can play for free. But this welcome bonus will be given if players can fulfill a set of requirements. For instance, upon initial registration, players will receive 20,000 in Gold Coins along with 2 Sweeps Coins. Once players have verified their account on their mobile phones, they will receive an additional 30,000 Gold Coins as well as 3 Sweeps Coins. An easy step by step process Further along, if new players can give consent to receive email notifications and updates from Zula (and ultimately inform Zula that they have a legitimate email address), they will then receive a total of 20,000 Gold Coins and 2 Sweeps Coins. Furthermore, if they additionally consent to get notifications on SMS from Zula Casino, then Zula will once again give them 20,000 Gold Coins plus 2 Sweeps Coins. It gets easier from there – if a player has a Facebook account, all they have to do is follow Zula Casino on Facebook, and they will receive 10,000 GC. The same goes for Google accounts - simply follow the Zula platform and players will also get 10,000 GC. Finally, once players log in, they will additionally receive a daily login bonus (which is replenished each day) of 10,000 Gold Coins. All these bonuses equal 120,000 for the Zula Casino welcome bonus and free Sweeps Coins bonus. Moreover, Zula Casino has plenty of daily bonuses in store as well as referral bonuses for friends who sign up. Zula Casino is readily available in most states except Michigan, Washington, Idaho, and Georgia, and players must be 18 years old and older to join.

Horseplay has done an awesome job of engaging iGamers across the US, and it has stood out among social casinos because it offers something truly unique and one-of-a-kind: it is the only social casino that has the horse racing element, and this alone makes it worthy of a second look. But starting on July 10, horse racing enthusiasts and casino players alike will be delighted to know that Horseplay is set to have an awesome new welcome offer for players located in Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Horse racing at its finest, with new offers to boot Horseplay has made its mark among the numerous horse bettors in many states, and since it started in 2012, it has acquired a huge portion of the market, particularly those who are not only casino players, but who are also avid horse racing enthusiasts. It has managed to combine the best of both iGaming genres: casino games and horse racing. And early in the year, it also changed its name to Horseplay (it was previously known as B Spot). But yes - there is truth to the rumors, and you heard it here first: Horseplay is set to offer new welcome bonuses to players in several key states. The Welcome Offer Match, as it is also known, is designed to attract new players to the Horseplay platform, and it is offered in two parts: the first is a first deposit match of $10 to $20 to qualify for a 100% credit match and the second is a first deposit match of $40 to up to $250 in order to qualify for a 200% credit match. Let’s break it down further: the first deposit match with up to 100% credit is called the Level 1 match deposit, and with this, new players who make a first deposit of $20 with a credit package purchase of $10 will receive a 100% credit match. The minimum bonus is $10 and the maximum bonus is $20; both are available in Freeplay mode. The Level 2 match, on the other hand, entitles players to receive a credit match of up to 200% when they make a first deposit and first credit package purchase of $40, $100, or $250. They can then receive anywhere from $80 minimum to as much as $200 maximum bonus in Freeplay credit mode. So for example, if you make a first deposit of $20 along with a first Credit Package Purchase of $10, you will qualify for the Level 1 deposit match offer, where you will get a 100% match on your $10 credit purchase and receive an extra $10 in Freeplay credits. When you make a first deposit of $20 and a first credit package purchase of $20, on the other hand, you can receive a 100% match on your credit purchase and an extra $20 in Freeplay Credits. Alternatively, if you make a first deposit of $100 and make a first Credit Package Purchase amounting to $100 as well, you would qualify for the Level 2 offer, where you will get a 200% match on your $100 Credit Purchase and get additional Freeplay credits worth $200. The terms and conditions that come with the deposit buy and match offer But Horseplay is quick to add that this offer comes with its own set of terms and conditions, just like any other casino offer. First of all, as mentioned, it is only available to players located in the following states: Alabama, Delaware, Florida, Kansas, North Dakota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wisconsin. The other states that are not part of the promotional offer include California, Colorado, Montana, New York, Oregon, and Wyoming. These states will still have the same welcome bonus offer, which is a deposit match of as much as $20 after they deposit $10 into their account. Be reminded that the promotional offer from Horseplay will run from Wednesday, July 10, 2024, until Tuesday, December 31, 2024. We suggest you log in early, because the promo will start at 7am Pacific Time. Eligibility of participants Remember that only those who are 21 years old or older can participate in the promotion, and you also have to be a fully registered patron of Horseplay. You also need to be located in an eligible state where Horseplay is regulated. Good luck, and happy playing!

July 1, 2024 – A woman from the state of Georgia by the name of Destiny Kennedy alleges that game developer Virtual Gaming Worlds (VGW) violates local gambling laws. Georgia continues to hold stringent laws on gambling in any form. Real-money online casinos like Chumba Casino, Luckyland Casino, and Global Poker are still considered illegal by state law. VGW is one of the biggest sweepstakes casino companies in the US where thousands of iGamers enjoy multiple slot games and table games online. Kennedy’s allegation claims that the dual-currency sweepstakes format is a front to keep users from realizing VGW’s illegal casino operation. “VGW proactively defrauds Georgia citizens because VGW advertises that its operations are legitimate and legal when, in reality, VGW knowingly and willfully operates what constitutes an illegal gambling enterprise,” Kennedy states. While playing on one of VGW’s online platforms, Kennedy is looking to recover around $1,150. Although there is free-to-play money, she contends that the main objective is to purchase and accumulate Sweeps Coins in order to swap them for real money. Kennedy's case also cites a 2012 Georgia senate bill that forbade "internet cafes" from providing casino-style gaming within the state. The legislation expressly forbids the use of computers for games of chance within the state, but it clearly specifies that this ban only applies to businesses and not to private residences or electronic devices. Moreover, she mentioned in the lawsuit that she did not want the litigation to go to arbitration because she opted out of it via email when she created her account. She sued VGW on the 17th of May in Georgia’s Superior Court which the Georgia Northern District Court received without VGW’s official response to Kennedy’s filing. About VGW VGW was one of three online gambling companies that received cease-and-desist letters this year for operating in Michigan without authorization. VGW is an Australian iGaming company that runs social casino games through online platforms like Chumba Casino and LuckyLand Slots. However, there have been legal problems with their operations. They have been compelled to stop operations by a number of states, including Michigan, which views them as unlicensed gambling. There are also ongoing lawsuits contesting the legitimacy of their games. This is an ongoing story.

June 20, 2024 – SweepX is a social sweepstakes casino platform solution that Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) has introduced for the US market. The US land-based sweepstakes operator Primero will be powered by the Malta-based gaming solutions business for its maiden foray into the online social sweepstakes casino sector. According to the Chief Business Officer at GiG Platform & Sportsbook, Andrew Cochrane highlighted GiG's commitment to innovation with SweepX, its latest offering in the online sweepstakes market. The platform integrates dual-wallet store management for redemptions and prize rewards, supported by GiG’s AI-driven content management technology. “As an extremely experienced turnkey solutions provider, the strength inherent in our technology and services has allowed us to develop what we consider to be the leading platform, data and AI driven solutions available within social gaming, and will help power the growth of the market across the US within the next few years,” Cochrane emphasized. About Primero Games Primero Games was established in 2009 and creates gaming equipment and software for casinos. In the US, the company operates more than 50,000 sweepstakes machines. Storm Games, a content producer, and a UK retail operator are also owned by it. A new binding head of terms for a strategic relationship with Primero Games is being released together with the launch. GiG will support the operator's entry into the online social sweepstakes casino sector as part of the agreement. Nearing the Split The announcement is made as GiG gets closer to finishing its intended company split. GiG chairman Petter Nylander stated he hoped to finish the split by Q3 in remarks made following the company's release of its Q1 results this month. GiG declared last year that it will divide its two companies, GiG Media and Platform and Sportsbook. GiG spent most of last year getting ready for the relocation, even if this hasn't happened yet. GiG has chosen to publish Q1 with the entire business in order to facilitate year-over-year comparisons.

Two social casino apps run by New York-based High 5 Games have been declared unlawful in the state of Washington by a federal judge. According to the state's Recovery of Money Lost at Gambling Act (RMLGA), the corporation may be liable for millions of dollars in damages following Judge Tiffany Cartwright's June 11 order in Western Washington District Court. “That's not toy money; that's actual money” according to  Cartwright concurred with former player Rick Larsen, the plaintiff in the lawsuit, who claimed that the games broke both the RMLGA and the Washington Consumer Protection Act (CPA). If players wish to keep playing after using up all of their virtual bankrolls, they must buy more coins with real money. Court filings show that Larsen played the apps for $7,470.50. Anyone who bought virtual currency for one of the applications in Washington after April 9, 2014, may be eligible to obtain damages through a class action lawsuit. That's important since gambling is defined by Washington as "risking something of value to receive something of value in the event of a certain outcome in a contest of chance or a future contingent event, not under the person's control or influence." Washington is not like other jurisdictions where cases pertaining to the "value" of virtual playing chips have been filed. The plaintiffs in the Big Fish lawsuit split a $155 million settlement. Cartwright concluded that the virtual currency of High 5 "functions identically" to that of Big Fish.
