INSIDECASINO.USWhat does South Carolina law say about online casinos?
South Carolina has no licensing framework for online casinos, and it is not among the seven states with them.
Who regulates gambling in South Carolina?
We did not confirm a South Carolina agency with authority over online casinos, because the state does not license them.
Are offshore casinos legal in South Carolina?
Offshore casinos hold no South Carolina license, so no South Carolina agency checks their games, payouts or complaints.
Are sweepstakes casinos legal in South Carolina?
We found no South Carolina law that names online sweepstakes casinos. Lawmakers declared sweepstakes machines to be illegal gambling devices in 2013, but enforcement has been inconsistent. A tracker shows no action against online sites, so the question is open.
What are the rules in another state?
Each state sets its own online casino rules. Pick a state to see its status, its regulator and the date we last checked it.
