Withdrawal Issues

If you have a balance trapped in these sites, the law requires them to facilitate a final redemption.

  • Contact Support: Email [email protected] or [email protected] specifically requesting a “Final Prize Redemption for a CA Resident.”
  • Avoid VPNs: Using a VPN to bypass the CA block is a violation of Terms and will give the site a legal reason to deny your payout.
  • Transition: Move your play to Slotocash or Uptown Aces where CA players are currently accepted for direct real-money play.

For a safer experience, we recommend switching to vetted real money sites where your payouts are not tied to sweepstakes legislation.
