Lawmakers override Oklahoma Governor’s sweepstakes ban veto
Oklahoma’s Legislature has overridden Governor Stitt’s veto on the sweepstakes ban bill just days after he rejected the measure on May 7, now making online sweepstakes illegal in the state.
Initially, the Senate conducted a vote on the governor’s decision, voting 34-10 against it, after which the House followed with its 68-19 vote, easily passing the two-thirds required threshold to reverse the veto. The bill was then sent to the Secretary of State and was filed to become law.
Under the new law, games that appear to offer slots, lottery, bingo, and similar formats that use dual-currency models with free coins and redeemable prizes will be fully prohibited.

After the bill takes effect, gambling operators will no longer be able to offer online casino games with dual-currency structures, with non-compliance being viewed as a class C2 felony subject to fines and prison sentences.
