State promotions law, state gambling law, and how much risk each operator is willing to carry. The last one explains most of the confusion, because two operators reading the same statute can reach opposite conclusions, and one will accept players in a state its competitor refuses. This desk publishes what each operator accepted during testing rather than a legal verdict of its own.

What eighteen accounts showed

• Open nearly everywhere. The large majority of states were accepted by every operator, with a minimum age of eighteen or twenty-one depending on site and state.
• Blocked by all. A small group was excluded across the board. Washington and Idaho were the most consistent, with Michigan and Nevada excluded by most.
• Split. Several states were accepted by some operators and refused by others, which signals differing legal advice rather than settled law.
• Changed mid-year. More than one operator withdrew from a state during our window, so a site that accepted you last season may not now.

The two minute check

Open the operator terms and search for excluded, prohibited or ineligible. That list binds your account, not any summary elsewhere including this page. Confirm the minimum age for your state, and remember eligibility follows where you physically are rather than where you live.

Location checks and VPNs

Every operator on the sheet verified identity before redemption and checked location at signup and at withdrawal. Masking location breaches the terms at all eighteen, and the usual outcome is a frozen balance.
