The 2026 enactment after earlier enforcement
The Attorney General’s December 29, 2025 notice says almost 40 platforms received cease-and-desist letters and disabled unlawful components or agreed to wind them down. It identifies the dual-currency promotional-casino model as an illegal lottery under Tennessee law. That enforcement position preceded the later enactment.
The enacted caption concerns operation, conduct or commercial promotion of covered online sweepstakes and online or app-based gambling, with consumer-protection consequences. Its commercial-promotion scope matters to an editorial site displaying offers, not just to the company accepting accounts.

An old account does not establish present prize access
Historical rewards and national banners should not be reused as Tennessee eligibility findings. The official record needs to be assessed independently of whether a familiar site remains reachable or an account was opened before the notices.
The page therefore provides restriction information and the official chronology without local SC signup offers. It preserves both events rather than assigning the Attorney General’s earlier announcement the later law’s effective date, or continuing to describe the passed measure as merely proposed.
Tennessee questions
When did Public Chapter 1117 take effect?
The official SB 2136 history lists May 22, 2026. That commencement is distinct from the Attorney General’s December 2025 action and should be stated with the enacted record.
What did the earlier campaign report?
The Attorney General reported almost 40 platforms receiving demands and disabling unlawful components or agreeing to wind down. Those figures and responses belong to the December 29, 2025 announcement, not a newly measured live total.
