Back in September 2024, I predicted that High 5 Casino’s decision to raise its age limit to 21+ would signal the beginning of a broader trend to better position the industry in the face of mounting backlash. That prediction continues to play out in 2025.
A1 Development LLC, which operates multiple sweepstakes casinos, is the latest company to begin raising its minimum age requirements from 18+ to 21+. The changes are not fully implemented yet, but signs of the shift are already visible:
- TaoFortune: Footer updated to 21+, but terms and signup process still show 18+
NoLimitCoins: Footer updated to 21+, terms and signup still at 18+ - Fortune Wheelz: Footer updated to 21+, terms and signup still at 18+
- Funrize and FunzCity: Still set at 18+, but likely to follow
No official announcements have been made to players, suggesting a quiet rollout. If you're between 18 and 20 and currently have an account on one of these platforms, now is the time to act. Reach out to support and sort out any redemptions or balances you may have, before age restrictions are enforced and access is cut off without warning, as was the case with High 5 Casino last year.
This follows similar moves by other operators earlier in 2025, including:
As I wrote in September, raising the age limit aligns with legal online casino standards in the US and reduces both regulatory risk and underage exposure. The more leading operators make this transition, the more the sweepstakes model solidifies its legitimacy. Players who fall into the affected age group should act quickly to avoid losing access to their accounts or balances.
