$14Min gaming proceeds moved into a sweepstakes-cafe software operator's own accounts
Managers of SweepsCoach deposited roughly $14 million in gaming proceeds into their own bank accounts over nearly six years before pleading guilty in 2025.
SweepsCoach supplied the software and terminals to internet sweepstakes cafes across California and Arizona rather than running a single storefront, from January 2012 to November 2017.
