Oklahoma Exodus: Baba, ACE, Stake.us and Modo Pull Back Before the Nov. 1 Ban

By Sam Ledger, Lead Analyst·October 19, 2026

Key takeaways

  • Baba Casino stopped bundling Sweeps Coins with Gold Coin purchases in Oklahoma on October 5 and ends Sweepstakes Games and redemptions there on October 21. Gold Coin play continues.
  • ACE Casino left Oklahoma entirely on October 6, removing both coin types.
  • Stake.us has told players via a site banner it exits Oklahoma on October 30.
  • Modo Casino stopped promotional SC purchases for Oklahoma players on October 1; SC play and redemptions run through November 1.
  • The trigger is Senate Bill 1589, which takes effect November 1, 2026 and classifies dual-currency sweeps play as online gambling in Oklahoma.

Who is leaving, and on what schedule

The operator exits are staggered, and the dates matter if you hold Sweeps Coins. Baba Casino (currently #17 on the SweepRanks board) updated its terms on October 5: Oklahoma players can keep playing Sweepstakes Games and submit eligible redemptions through October 20. On October 21 that window closes and leftover Sweeps Coins become unusable.

ACE Casino moved fastest, pulling out of the state completely on October 6. Stake.us, the #2 brand on our board, announced an October 30 exit. Modo Casino (#6) cut promotional SC purchases on October 1 but keeps SC gameplay and redemptions open through November 1, with Gold Coin play and Modo Boxes continuing after that.

Why now

Oklahoma lawmakers overrode the governor's veto of SB 1589 in May. The law classifies dual-currency online gaming as online gambling and bars non-tribal operators from offering it, effective November 1. We covered the override when it happened; these exits are the operator side of that deadline arriving.

What Oklahoma players should do

If you hold Sweeps Coins at Baba, redeem eligible balances before October 20. At Modo, the redemption window runs to November 1. Stake.us players have until October 30. Do not buy coin packages expecting promotional SC in Oklahoma: those offers are already gone at all four brands.
