Blazesoft’s sweepstakes casino brands will remove Sweeps Coin (SC) play from Tennessee later this month, affecting players at Fortune Coins, Zula, Sportzino, Yay, and American Luck. Luck Party, the company’s latest venture, launched with Tennessee as part of the excluded states.
These platforms will still continue to offer Gold Coin (GC) play in Tennessee though, implementing a pure social casino-type system in TN, just like other sweeps brands such as VGW and Carnival Citi. Within this new system, players will be able to engage in free play from the Volunteer State, but they won’t be able to play with SC, meaning no more cash redemptions.
Key Dates for Blazesoft (Priority Play) Brands’ Exit From Tennessee
Let’s go through the upcoming deadlines that will affect Tennessee-based players at Blazesoft casinos, which are all part of the Priority Play program.
- All brands will stop accepting AMOE mail‑ins from Tennessee with a postage or delivery date of January 21 2026 or later.
- Users with a redeemable balance should initiate their KYC application immediately. No KYC applications will be accepted or reviewed after January 21 2026.
- From January 22 2026, users will no longer be able to play any games using SC across all Blazesoft brands.
- Any remaining SC balances belonging to Tennessee-based accounts will be forfeited by the end of January 26 2026.
- GC balances remain unaffected. Tennessee users may continue to enjoy GC gameplay without interruption.
In simple terms, any players who have remaining SC balances at a Blazesoft site should redeem as soon as possible, and certainly before January 26. If this is your first redemption, you will need to go through the KYC application, and that should be done as soon as possible and certainly before January 21.
It’s highly likely that this withdrawal has been prompted by the recent crackdown on sweeps casinos in Tennessee from Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti. In fact, the Attorney General’s office released a press statement in December mentioning all of the Blazesoft brands (except Luck Party) alongside other major sweeps brands. It’s clear that each was served a cease and desist letter.
Sportzino was also targeted by the Tennessee Sports Wagering Council (TSWC) in 2025 because of its sportsbook component. It seems Tennessee is taking an increasingly aggressive enforcement stance against sweepstakes casinos, making the state a hostile environment for all operators.
Players in other states remain unaffected.
