🇺🇸 US tightens rules on virtual-coin casinos

The US House has passed Bill 87-11 targeting online casinos that use “virtual coins”, with penalties of up to $100,000 for breaches, according to thegambler.media. In Illinois, regulators have already issued 65 official warnings, signalling faster enforcement. ⚖️💰 Why it matters: the sweepstakes-style model is facing sharper legal scrutiny across the US. For the wider iGaming sector, it is another sign that grey-area products are losing ground as regulators push for clearer licensing lines and stronger consumer protection. 📉🔍
