The short answer
CardCrush is available in Florida with no legal constraint. Florida has not passed a law targeting online sweepstakes casinos or skill-contest platforms. CardCrush's single-currency game-of-skill model is not prohibited by any Florida statute. Unlike California and New York, where recent legislation forced more than 20 dual-currency brands to exit, Florida has imposed no such requirement. CardCrush carries no AB 831 monitoring status in Florida and no SB 5935A monitoring status in Florida.
What Florida law says about sweepstakes gaming
Florida Statutes §849 is the state's primary gambling statute. Florida Statutes §849 prohibits games of chance played for money or other consideration. CardCrush accepts AMOE and does not require a purchase for prize-eligible play. That "no purchase necessary" standard exempts CardCrush from Florida Statutes §849's gambling definition, because AMOE removes the consideration element §849 requires.
The 2013 Internet Cafe Law, enacted as SB 7068 and codified at Florida Statutes §849.094, is sometimes cited as a Florida sweepstakes ban. CardCrush operates as an at-home online platform accessed via browser, not a physical storefront terminal. CardCrush falls outside SB 7068's scope on that basis. SB 7068 targeted physical internet cafe terminals where patrons paid for internet time and received sweepstakes entries tied to the purchase.
Florida's Constitution, Article X Section 7, restricts brick-and-mortar casino gambling to designated counties. Broward and Miami-Dade counties hold the commercial slot-machine authorizations under Article X Section 7. CardCrush is an at-home online platform and is outside the scope of Article X Section 7.
No Florida Attorney General has issued guidance targeting at-home online sweepstakes casinos as of June 10, 2026.
How Florida compares to California and New York
CardCrush carries no AB 831 monitoring status in Florida. CardCrush carries no SB 5935A monitoring status in Florida.
California AB 831, effective January 1, 2026, banned dual-currency sweepstakes models and forced more than 20 brands to exit the California market. CardCrush operates in California under a single-currency legal theory that remains untested in court. New York SB 5935A, signed December 5, 2025, imposed a similar ban with higher penalties. CardCrush operates in New York under the same untested theory.
CardCrush does not rely on an untested legal theory in Florida. CardCrush operates without any Florida-specific legal carve-out or monitoring designation. Dual-currency brands, including Modo.us and ClubWPT Gold, also operate freely in Florida. Florida has five brands available. California and New York each have four, after AB 831 and SB 5935A blocked dual-currency platforms.
