Florida officials are pressing Google, Meta and TikTok to stop running sweepstakes casino ads. The state attorney general filed separate actions that target promotions often built around slot-style games. These actions come from recent reports on regulatory steps in the state.
TikTok rule changes
New gambling rules now ban random card breaks on the platform. The move removes one popular format that mixed live draws with gambling-style rewards. Players who followed these breaks for quick casino-style entertainment will see fewer such videos in their feeds.
Platform ad restrictions
State demands focus on sweepstakes casino offers that players access without traditional deposits. Enforcement aims at ads that appear in feeds where slot content is common. Multiple platforms received notices to pull the promotions.
IGT brand update
IGT showed a refreshed brand identity at the 2026 Global Gaming Expo. The company supplies many casino floors with slot machines, so the visual and product shift will appear in new cabinet releases. Trade show attendees saw updated designs and features.
BetMGM opened the Strip’s first poolside sportsbook, adding another on-site option for visitors.
