Our take on Chumba Casino
In August 2026, Florida’s Attorney General sued VGW, the group behind Chumba Casino, along with its payment processors, alleging illegal gambling and seeking an injunction and penalties. Chumba itself, run by VGW Malta Limited, still operates in 34 of 51 jurisdictions, and it raised its minimum age from 18 to 21. Registration adds 2,000,000 Gold Coins and 2 Sweeps Coins at no cost. Prizeout gift cards start at 10 SC and bank transfers at 100 SC. After approval, which takes 1 to 2 business days, gift cards arrive within 48 hours and bank payments in 5 to 10 business days.
Pros
- Prizeout gift cards from 10 SC
- 2,000,000 GC and 2 SC on registration, free
- Gift cards within 48 hours of approval
- Gold Coins by card, online banking, Skrill or Apple Pay
- Support listed as 24/7
Cons
- Florida AG lawsuit against VGW and its payment processors
- Bank transfers need 100 SC and 5–10 business days
- 21+ only
- Utah missing from its own list of closed states despite a ban
Best for
- Players 21+ who want gift cards from small balances
- Buying Gold Coins with Skrill or Apple Pay
Skip it if
- You’re under 21
- You’d rather avoid an operator facing a state lawsuit

Chumba Casino's own list still shows Utah as open, but this state restricts sweepstakes casinos by law or regulator action, so we treat it as unavailable.
