Sweepstakes casino operator Zoot will permanently close its player-facing platform on Nov. 30, as parent company Enigma Lake Holdings shifts its focus to business-to-business operations through its software development company Zoot Studios.
- Zoot Casino will permanently close its player-facing platform later this month, with access to games ending on Nov. 20.
- The site’s minimum prize redemption has been reduced from $100 to $10, with all eligible redemption requests due by Nov. 24.
- Parent company Enigma Lake Holdings plans to concentrate on business-to-business gaming through Zoot Studios.
The sweepstakes casino confirmed the closure in a notice published on Nov. 5. The website’s Coin Store has already closed, meaning players can no longer buy Gold Coins or receive additional Sweepstake Coins through purchases, daily rewards, referrals, promo codes, or giveaways.
New account registrations have also been suspended, alongside tournaments and leaderboards. Players can submit mail-in requests for Sweepstake Coins by 11:59 p.m. ET on Nov. 12. Valid requests will be credited by Nov. 16, after which no further requests will be accepted.
Users can continue accessing games until 11:59 p.m. ET on Nov. 20. At that point, all Gold Coins will expire, along with any Sweepstake Coins that have not fulfilled the required playthrough conditions.
The deadline for submitting prize redemption requests is Nov. 24 at 11:59 p.m. ET, but Zoot has lowered its minimum redemption threshold from $100 to $10, with each eligible Sweepstake Coin representing $1 in prize value.
The sweepstakes casino has also removed weekly redemption limits and processing fees, allowing players to submit multiple redemption requests without the previous restrictions.
Any eligible Sweepstake Coin balances of at least $10 that cannot be paid before the casino closes can be claimed by contacting customer support by May 31, 2027.
Zoot confirmed that all player accounts will be permanently closed on Nov. 30 at 5:00 p.m. ET. The platform’s customer support service will remain operational until at least Nov. 30, 2027 to handle complaints, outstanding balance claims, and other data requests.
The casino’s operator, Enigma Lake Holdings, plans to focus exclusively on its business-to-business operations through Zoot Studios, which supplies games to third-party platforms instead of operating as a player-facing casino.
