Nineteen States, Each With a Date

Pulsz's exclusion list is unusual twice over. First, its length: 19 states — AL, AZ, CA, CT, ID, IN, LA, MD, ME, MI, MS, MT, NV, NJ, NY, OK, TN, WA, WV — one of the longest among mainstream sweeps casinos (legalsportsreport.com, bonus.com). Second, its history: unlike most operators, whose lists are static Terms boilerplate, Pulsz's list grew in documented, dated retreats — a Kentucky exit under class-action settlements, a proactive New York withdrawal, a scheduled Mississippi wind-down, and the biggest single exit of the AB 831 era in California. Every one of those exits applied to sister site Pulsz Bingo on the same day.

And a Pulsz exit means more than a Pulsz ban usually would, because Pulsz exits are full exits: accounts close and remaining coins expire. More on that below.

The Exit Timeline

When State(s) What Happened
2023–24 KY Exit after two class settlements totaling $4.92M — $1.32M (Whiting v. YSI, final approval Dec 11, 2023) plus $3.6M (April 2024). KY is not on the current 19-state list (topclassactions.com, bonus.com).
Mar 2025 NY Proactive full exit — before the statutory ban (S5935A, signed Dec 5, 2025) and not among the 26 brands in the AG's June 6, 2025 C&D wave (sweepsy.com, rg.org).
Mar–Apr 2025 MS Sweeps wind-down: mail codes ineligible Mar 3, SC use ended Mar 31, SC expired after Apr 15. MS kept a Gold-Coin-only mode (sweepsy.com).
~Jun 10, 2025 CT, LA, MD Full platform exits, added to the excluded list together (sweepsy.com).
Nov–Dec 2025 CA Biggest sweeps exit under AB 831 (signed Oct 11, 2025; Penal Code §337o effective Jan 1, 2026). Nov 17: AMOE/free SC off → Dec 1: GC purchases off → Dec 8: last play → Dec 15, 2025: accounts closed, remaining coins expired (sweepsy.com, casino.com).
AZ Arizona Dept. of Gaming cease-and-desist labeling Pulsz an illegal unlicensed gambling operator; AZ now on the excluded list (communitynews.org).

The remaining names on the 19-state list — AL, ID, IN, ME, MI, MT, NV, NJ, OK, TN, WA, WV — are the standard long-tenure exclusions carried in the Terms without a public exit event. NJ and LA are worth a note: older snapshots showed both as accessible but "promotion-limited" under ToU §3.4 before they hardened into full exclusions (wsn.com). The list only tightens.

The Full Map

Status States What It Means
Excluded AL, AZ, CA, CT, ID, IN, LA, MD, ME, MI, MT, NV, NJ, NY, OK, TN, WA, WV No platform access. In the dated exits above, existing accounts were closed and remaining coins expired.
Gold Coins only MS Free-to-play social casino under the ToU §3.4 "limited promotion" mechanism. No SC, no redemptions.
Eligible The remaining 31 states + DC Sweeps play and redemption available at 21+, subject to Jumio verification and the redemption rules

Pulsz Exits Are Full Exits

Here is the differentiator that should change how you play in any legislatively shaky state. When rivals lose a state to a sweeps ban, many leave the Gold Coin social casino running — your account survives, your purchased coins survive, only redemption dies. When Pulsz leaves a state, the account goes with it. California players got roughly four weeks between the first wind-down step (Nov 17, 2025) and account closure (Dec 15, 2025), and everything still sitting in the wallet at close — purchased Gold Coins included — expired. The redemption window closed the same day the accounts did.

The one exception is Mississippi, which got the ToU §3.4 treatment instead: "certain promotions… limited" in listed states, which in practice means the sweepstakes layer is switched off and a GC-only social casino remains. NJ and LA sat in that category once too — and both later became full exclusions. §3.4 is the waiting room, not the endpoint.

Practical rule: if your state has an active sweeps bill moving, treat any Pulsz balance as time-limited. The CA precedent says you'll get a schedule measured in weeks, and the schedule is the only mercy — nothing rolls over, and there's no GC afterlife except where §3.4 says so. The age floor is 21+, higher than the 18+ some rivals allow.

Check Your State

Status

A provenance warning: Pulsz's official Terms pages returned 403 on our 2026-08-13 fetch, so the list here is a third-party transcription (legalsportsreport.com, bonus.com) rather than a verbatim capture. Lists change without notice — Pulsz's has only ever grown — so verify against the live Terms before relying on this. Every verdict also applies to Pulsz Bingo, which exits each state the same day.

Next Steps

If your state clears, read the redemption rules — including the 60-day dormancy wipe (§6.11) that expires coins without a state exit ever happening — and the payout-times page before planning around the money. The free SC routes cover the mail-in, and the contract — arbitration opt-out window included — is dissected in Is Pulsz Legit?. Platform overview: Pulsz Casino review.
