Delaware shuts down illegal online slots
An investigation by the Delaware Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) into VGW Luckyland, Inc. – a subsidiary of the Australian-based VGW Holdings Ltd. – revealed that VGW Luckyland, Inc. was operating illegal online gaming. Delaware officials concluded that VGW misrepresented its services as a promotional sweepstakes while enabling players to purchase coins for casino-style games, leading to potential cash winnings. These types of real-money games offered to Delaware residents by an unlicensed entity violate the Delaware Constitution, the Delaware Penal Code and the Delaware Gaming Competitiveness Act of 2012.
With the support of the Delaware State Lottery, DGE issued a cease-and-desist order to VGW. Effective April 2, 2025, Delaware residents can longer participate in VGW Luckyland’s unlicensed online gaming platforms.
