Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed SB 2136 into law on May 22, 2026, banning online sweepstakes gaming that relies on virtual-currency, dual-currency, or multi-currency systems. The law targets games that simulate slot machines, video poker, table games, bingo, and unlicensed sports wagering, and it takes effect immediately.
Legal sports betting, the Tennessee Education Lottery, and fantasy sports products are not affected. Enforcement falls to Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act.
