State Restrictions

Sweepstakes casinos operate under a different framework than traditional real-money online casinos. Instead of wagering cash directly, players typically use two types of virtual currency - one for entertainment play (Tao Coins) and one that may be used in sweepstakes-style play and prize redemptions (Secret Coins).

Because U.S. laws and regulations can vary widely by state, sweepstakes participation is not permitted everywhere. Some states restrict or prohibit sweepstakes-style gaming models, some states impose extra requirements, and others may change their interpretation or enforcement with limited notice. That’s why TaoFortune Casino uses state-based eligibility rules and location checks to help keep play compliant.

If you’re unsure whether you can play, verify your eligibility before registering, purchasing packages, claiming bonuses, using Secret Coins, or attempting a prize redemption.

Eligible States: Where Play Is Typically Allowed

In many U.S. states, sweepstakes-style gameplay is generally permitted when structured correctly (for example, with free entry methods and compliant prize rules). TaoFortune Casino aims to make gameplay available where it’s allowed, while applying safeguards where it is not.

Because eligibility can change based on evolving state guidance and company policy, the most accurate status is always the eligibility check during registration and login. If your state is eligible, you can generally:

• Create and access an account
• Play supported slot and casino-style RNG games
• Participate in standard promotions (when available)
• Use Secret Coins in line with the site’s terms
• Request prize redemptions once requirements are met

If a state becomes restricted later, access and redemptions may be impacted even if you joined earlier - see the travel and moving section below.

Restricted States: Where Participation Is Not Available

At the time of writing, TaoFortune Casino does not offer sweepstakes participation in the following states:

Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New York, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin.

These restrictions apply broadly, including registration, gameplay that uses Secret Coins, promotions tied to Secret Coins, and prize redemption features. In many cases, you may be blocked from logging in or from accessing sweepstakes-related features if you are physically located in a restricted jurisdiction.

Temporary Restrictions: When an Eligible Player Can Be Blocked

Even if your home state is eligible, you may encounter temporary restrictions. Common examples include:

• You are traveling and your device is detected in a restricted state
• Your location cannot be confirmed (for example, VPN usage, blocked location services, or unstable GPS signals)
• Your account triggers a compliance review (such as unusual login patterns, duplicate account signals, or verification mismatches)
• A state policy changes and TaoFortune implements a “pause” while updates are applied

Temporary restrictions are designed to protect both players and the platform. In most cases, access returns once location and account checks are completed.

How Location Verification Works: Geolocation, IP Checks, and Device Signals

To follow state rules, TaoFortune Casino may use location verification technologies that confirm where you are physically located when you register, log in, play, claim promotions, or request a redemption. These checks may include:

• IP address analysis
• GPS and device location services (when enabled)
• Wi-Fi and network signals
• Device and browser identifiers used for fraud prevention

If your location cannot be verified, you may be prevented from using Secret Coins, claiming certain promotions, or completing redemptions until verification succeeds. Using tools that mask your location (such as VPNs or remote desktops) can cause failed checks and may lead to account limitations.

Account Limitations You Might See (and What They Mean)

When state eligibility or location checks raise a flag, you may notice certain features become unavailable. Depending on the situation, TaoFortune Casino may limit:

• New account creation
• Login access from a restricted jurisdiction
• Secret Coin gameplay
• Promotion eligibility (including bonus drops tied to Secret Coins)
• Prize redemption requests
• Purchases of packages that include Secret Coins

These controls are meant to enforce compliance and prevent accidental participation from restricted jurisdictions.

Moving or Traveling: What Happens If You Cross Into a Restricted State

State restrictions are typically based on your physical location at the time you access the platform - not just the address on your profile. That means:

If you travel into a restricted state:

• You may be blocked from logging in, or you may be able to log in but not access sweepstakes features.
• Secret Coin gameplay and redemptions may be paused until you return to an eligible state.

If you move to a restricted state:

• Your account may be limited on an ongoing basis.
• You may lose access to Secret Coin features and prize redemption while located there.
• You may be asked to update your address and re-verify your identity.

If you’re planning travel, it’s smart to avoid initiating prize redemptions right before crossing into a restricted state, since verification may require you to be physically present in an eligible jurisdiction.

How State Rules Can Affect Gameplay, Promotions, Secret Coins, and Redemptions

State-based restrictions can change what you can do on the site, even if the games themselves look the same.

Gameplay access TaoFortune Casino offers slots and casino-style RNG games. In restricted states, gameplay involving Secret Coins may be unavailable. In eligible states, you can generally play normally as long as location checks pass.

Promotions and bonuses Many offers are tied to sweepstakes eligibility. TaoFortune Casino promotions may be unavailable in restricted states, including:

• Welcome No Deposit Bonus (Sign-Up Offer): 250000 Tao Coins and 1 Secret Coin, 1x playthrough on Secret Coins, max cashout of 25 USD from free Secret Coin winnings
• First Purchase Bonus: packages such as 600000 Tao Coins and 40 Secret Coins for 19.99 USD, or 300000 Tao Coins and 24 Secret Coins for 11.99 USD, 1x playthrough on Secret Coins
• Daily Magic Box: up to 275000 Tao Coins and 500 Secret Coins (where available), 1x playthrough on Secret Coins, max cashout of 25 USD from free Secret Coin winnings
• Referral Bonus: up to 100000 Tao Coins and 10 Secret Coins per referral, with additional promotional caps on referral-derived prizes

If you are located in an excluded state (Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New York, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin), these promotions are not available.

Secret Coin usage Secret Coins are typically the currency connected to sweepstakes-style play and redemption. State restrictions most directly impact Secret Coins - including earning them through promos, using them in games, and redeeming prizes tied to their gameplay.

Prize redemption Redemptions may require additional verification, and you may need to meet platform thresholds (for example, a minimum redemption threshold may apply). If you attempt a redemption while in a restricted jurisdiction or while location checks fail, the request may be paused or denied until compliance requirements are met.

How to Check Your Eligibility Before You Register or Play

The safest approach is to confirm eligibility in multiple ways:

• Check the restricted state list on this page and compare it to where you are physically located right now.
• Attempt registration or login with location services enabled - if the site blocks access, treat that as a clear sign you’re in a restricted jurisdiction or your location can’t be verified.
• Review the terms linked from the TaoFortune Casino homepage and your account area, especially sections on eligibility and geolocation.
• If you’re uncertain (for example, near a state border or traveling), contact support before making a purchase or starting a redemption.

Staying Ahead of Changes: How to Keep Up With State-by-State Updates

Regulatory interpretations can shift quickly. To avoid surprises:

• Re-check eligibility when you travel, change devices, or switch networks.
• Keep your device location services turned on while playing.
• Avoid VPNs or other location-masking tools.
• Watch for on-site notices about policy updates, bonus eligibility changes, or verification requirements.
• If your account is inactive for a long period, be aware that inactive accounts may be deleted after 180 days, which can affect access to balances and ongoing eligibility.
