Modo.us is not available in California or New York. California AB 831, effective January 1, 2026, and New York SB 5935A, signed December 5, 2025, both prohibit Modo.us’s dual-currency sweepstakes model. CardCrush is available in California and New York under a single-currency skill-contest framework not targeted by either law. Lines.com compares both platforms across state availability, legal model, game library, bonus structure, and redemption mechanics.
Terms 21+
CardCrush and Modo.us serve non-overlapping geographic markets. CardCrush is available exclusively in California and New York. Modo.us is available in 35+ US states but is blocked in California and New York.
California players cannot access Modo.us’s Sweeps Coin play mode following AB 831’s January 1, 2026, effective date. Modo.us continues to operate in California as a free-to-play Gold Coin social casino — but California players cannot earn or redeem Sweeps Coins at Modo.us. New York players cannot access Modo.us at all following SB 5935A’s December 5, 2025, signing.
CardCrush does not operate outside California and New York. Players physically located in any state other than California or New York cannot access CardCrush.
What this means for the comparison: For California and New York players, this is not a preference comparison — Modo.us is unavailable for real-prize play, and CardCrush is available. For players in states covered by Modo.us but not CA or NY, CardCrush is not an option.
Modo.us operates on the standard dual-currency sweepstakes model used by most US sweepstakes casinos. Modo.us sells Gold Coins for entertainment use and distributes Sweeps Coins through purchases, daily login bonuses, and promotional offers. California AB 831 and New York SB 5935A both explicitly target this dual-currency structure — a purchasable non-redeemable currency paired with a separately earned redeemable currency.
CardCrush uses a single-currency model operated by Vision NL Limited. CardCrush’s only currency is Mystery Coins at $1 face value. Mystery Coins are purchased directly and are both the play unit and the prize unit. CardCrush’s model does not separate a purchasable entertainment currency from a separately earned sweepstakes prize currency. AB 831 and SB 5935A do not classify CardCrush’s structure as a dual-currency sweepstakes operation.
Authority signal: Modo.us, operated by ARB Interactive, launched in 2023 and built its 35-state footprint under the standard sweepstakes legal framework. CardCrush launched in December 2025 specifically to serve the CA and NY regulatory gap created by AB 831 and SB 5935A.
CardCrush and Modo.us both offer no-deposit welcome bonuses with no promo code required. The first-purchase economics differ significantly in structure.
CardCrush awards 2 Mystery Coins and 5 Cards at registration, activated after email verification. Modo.us awards 20,000 Gold Coins and 1 Sweeps Coin at registration with no purchase required. At the 1 SC = $1 redemption rate, Modo.us’s welcome SC value ($1) equals CardCrush’s welcome MC value ($2 in 2 MC) on an absolute dollar basis — though Modo.us’s 20,000 GC provides a substantial additional entertainment balance.
Modo.us’s lowest-cost paid entry is $0.99 for 17,500 GC, 550 VIP Points, and 5 SC. At 1 SC = $1, the Modo.us $0.99 purchase delivers $5 in redeemable value — a 406% return on the purchase price. CardCrush’s lowest-cost paid entry is $9.99 for 25 MC and 5 Cards. At 1 MC = $1, the CardCrush $9.99 purchase delivers $25 in Mystery Coins — a 150% return on the purchase price.
Modo.us’s $0.99 first purchase delivers higher SC-per-dollar than CardCrush’s $9.99 first purchase. However, Modo.us’s $0.99 offer is not available in California or New York.
Modo.us offers a progressive daily login bonus that starts at 7,500 GC and 0.3 SC on Day 1, scaling to 20,000 GC and 1 SC on Day 6 before resetting. CardCrush does not publish a confirmed daily login bonus as of this update. Modo.us’s 8-tier Loyalty Club equivalent is Modo Stars, launched January 1, 2026, which awards points through both Gold Coin and Sweeps Coin gameplay in all available states. CardCrush’s Loyalty Club runs 8 tiers from Iron to Black Diamond and awards Club Points through Battles and tournaments.
Modo.us carries a 2,000+ game catalog sourced from Relax Gaming, Hacksaw Gaming, Pragmatic Play, M2Play (Microgaming), NetEnt, Booming, and Evoplay. Modo.us’s library covers slots, table games, live dealer games with real human dealers streamed in real time, jackpot games, and specialty formats. Modo.us games carry RTP rates of 94%+ on most titles — for example, Dork Unit by Hacksaw Gaming carries a 96.28% RTP.
CardCrush offers 258 games from RubyPlay, BetSoft, Iconic21, BGaming, Fugaso, and Koala Games. CardCrush’s library covers 249 slots and 8 live dealer titles supplied by Iconic21. CardCrush does not offer table games or specialty games. CardCrush’s RTP follows standard slot RTP specifications per provider — no aggregate site RTP figure is published by CardCrush.
Modo.us offers approximately 8 times more titles than CardCrush. For California and New York players who previously used Modo.us, CardCrush’s game library represents a significantly smaller selection.
Both platforms require a 1x playthrough on redeemable currency before redemption is available. CardCrush and Modo.us both peg their redeemable currencies at $1 per unit — 1 MC and 1 SC respectively.
CardCrush sets the minimum gift card redemption at 10 MC ($10), processed within 48 hours. CardCrush’s minimum bank transfer redemption is 75 MC ($75), processed within 10 business days.
Modo.us sets the minimum gift card redemption at 20 SC ($20) and the minimum cash redemption at 100 SC ($100). Modo.us Sweeps Coins expire 60 days after the player’s last recorded casino login. CardCrush does not publish a confirmed MC expiry period as of this update.
Modo.us fits players in the 35+ states where Modo.us operates. Modo.us’s 2,000+ game library, 94%+ RTP titles, $0.99 entry point, and daily login bonuses make Modo.us the stronger platform on product metrics. Modo.us’s 18+ age minimum is also lower than CardCrush’s 21+ requirement.
CardCrush fits California and New York players who want real-prize casino gaming. CardCrush is the only casino-style platform among the two available in CA and NY for redeemable-currency play. California and New York players cannot access Modo.us’s Sweeps Coin mode under AB 831 and SB 5935A.
CardCrush fits players who want faster gift card payouts. CardCrush processes gift card redemptions within 48 hours at a 10 MC ($10) minimum. Modo.us’s minimum gift card threshold is 20 SC ($20) — double CardCrush’s floor.
Modo.us fits players outside CA and NY who prioritize game variety and RTP. Modo.us’s catalog is approximately 8 times larger than CardCrush’s. Modo.us’s 94%+ RTP benchmark exceeds the typical RTP profile of CardCrush’s provider mix.

Modo.us is not available for Sweeps Coin play in California as of January 1, 2026. California AB 831 prohibits Modo.us’s dual-currency sweepstakes model. Modo.us continues to operate in California as a free-to-play Gold Coin social casino, but California players cannot earn or redeem Sweeps Coins at Modo.us.
CardCrush is the primary casino-style alternative available to California players following Modo.us’s Sweeps Coin exit. CardCrush operates under a single-currency skill-contest model confirmed available in California under AB 831. Horseplay and GiddyUp are also available in California via ADW parimutuel law, though both offer slot-style games rather than the full casino library Modo.us provided.
No. CardCrush offers 258 games. Modo.us offers 2,000+ games — approximately 8 times more titles than CardCrush. Modo.us’s catalog includes slots, table games, live dealer, and specialty games. CardCrush’s catalog covers 249 slots and 8 live dealer titles with no table games.
CardCrush sets its minimum gift card redemption at 10 MC ($10). Modo.us sets its minimum gift card redemption at 20 SC ($20). CardCrush’s gift card minimum is half Modo.us’s equivalent threshold. Both platforms peg 1 unit of redeemable currency to $1 and require a 1x playthrough before redemption.
No. CardCrush is not a sweepstakes casino. CardCrush operates under a single-currency skill-contest model — Mystery Coins are both the purchased and redeemable currency at $1 face value. Modo.us is a dual-currency sweepstakes casino using Gold Coins (non-redeemable) and Sweeps Coins (redeemable). The structural difference in legal model is what allows CardCrush to operate in California and New York while Modo.us cannot.
CardCrush and Modo.us serve mutually exclusive geographic markets. Modo.us is not available for real-prize play in California or New York following AB 831 and SB 5935A. CardCrush is available only in California and New York. For CA and NY players who previously used Modo.us, CardCrush is the primary casino-style replacement — though CardCrush’s 258-game library is significantly smaller than Modo.us’s 2,000+ catalog, and CardCrush’s RTP profile has not been benchmarked to Modo.us’s published 94%+ standard. Players in the 35+ states where Modo.us operates will find Modo.us the stronger product on game variety, RTP, and bonus economics.
