Four Social Gambling Platforms Withdraw from California
In the ever-evolving world of online gaming, B2Services OU has recently made a significant move by withdrawing four of its social casinos - MegaBonanza, Hello Millions, PlayFame, and SpinBlitz - from California. This decision comes as a result of regulatory restrictions that prohibit sweepstakes casinos in the state [1][3][4][5].
The withdrawal took place around late July 2025, with B2Services OU officially pulling these games from California on or just before August 1, 2025 [1][3]. This action aligns with broader industry movements, as seen with Zula Casino ending sweepstakes games in multiple states due to "restricted states" policies [3].
California, along with several other states, bans all sweepstakes casinos, making it illegal for B2Services OU to continue offering these games there. The prohibition makes continued operation legally untenable [4][5].
Interestingly, B2Services OU continues to operate Jackpota and SportsMillions in California. Richard Janvrin, the man behind B2Services OU, entered the iGaming space in 2018 and has covered various aspects of it, including news, reviews, bonuses/promotions, sweepstakes casinos, and legal issues.
Before venturing into the iGaming world, Richard Janvrin made a name for himself in sports coverage, professionally breaking into the field in 2015. He started writing as a teenager and graduated from the University of New Hampshire.
As the landscape of online gaming continues to shift, it will be interesting to see how B2Services OU navigates the regulatory challenges in different states and what new opportunities arise for them in the future.

Despite B2Services OU's withdrawal of four social casinos from California due to regulatory restrictions, they still operate Jackpota and SportsMillions within the state. The iGaming business owner, Richard Janvrin, previously engaged in sports betting coverage, starting his professional journey in 2015. As the casino-and-gambling sector continues to evolve, it remains to be seen if poker or welcome bonus promotions will be introduced in Jackpota or SportsMillions, thus expanding B2Services OU's finance-related business.
