Thrillzz Terms Roll Back to July: Maine Restricted Again
Thrillzz has rolled its rulebooks back to their July 14, 2026 versions, undoing the terms rewrite it published on August 19. Seven documents now carry that older "Last Revised" header, Maine is back on the restricted-state list it was deleted from, and the four legal pages removed in the same week resolve again. The rewrite's own 20-state clause survives, but only on documents the site's footer does not link.
We read all ten Thrillzz legal documents on September 5, 2026 from the operator's own site and page index. Thrillzz is a social sportsbook with a sweepstakes prize layer. It is not one of the 33 brands we review, we have not tested it, and nothing here is a score.
This piece exists because we published the change it undoes. On August 27 we reported a terms rewrite that added five states, dropped Maine and deleted 55 pages. On August 31 we reported 24 of those pages coming back. The documents have now moved a third time, backwards.
What changed in the Thrillzz terms?
On August 27 and again on August 31, the Terms of Use the site links from its footer served a document headed "Thrillzz Games Terms of Use". It barred 19 states, with Maine removed and Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut and New Jersey added, and its clause reached anyone "attempting to enter a Contest or Sweepstakes".
Read today, that same URL serves a different document. The header is "Thrillzz Terms of Use - Last Revised: July 14, 2026", the clause stops at "attempting to enter a Contest", and it bars 15 states: "Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, New York, Nevada, Ohio, Tennessee and Washington."
The 19-state clause has not vanished. It sits at /games/terms-of-use/, under the heading "Thrillzz Games Terms of Use", stamped July 14, 2026 and now naming 20 states: the August 19 list with Maine put back into it. So the footer-linked Terms and the Games Terms are two different documents again, both carrying a revision date seven weeks earlier than the August 31 stamp we recorded five days ago.
There is one dated reading of this document that is not ours. The Internet Archive captured /terms-of-use/ on March 19, 2026, and that capture is headed "Last Revised: January 28, 2026" and bars 13 states: Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, New York, Nevada, Ohio, Tennessee and Washington. The document live today is that one with two names added, Indiana and Maine. Both were added by the July 14 revision the site has now gone back to, and the two additions sit on opposite sides of their deadlines: Indiana's ban took effect on July 1, two weeks before that revision, while Maine's took effect on July 29, two weeks after it. On Maine, in other words, the operator wrote the exclusion in ahead of the deadline, deleted it on August 19 once the ban was live, and has now put it back.
| Document | Header today | States barred |
|---|---|---|
| Terms of Use | July 14, 2026 | 15 |
| Games Terms of Use | July 14, 2026 | 20 |
| Promotional Terms of Use | July 14, 2026 | 20 |
| Sweepstakes Rules | July 14, 2026 | 20 |
| Games Sweepstakes Official Rules | July 14, 2026 | 20 |
| Mini Games Sweepstakes Official Rules | July 14, 2026 | 20 |
| Games Pick'em rules | July 14, 2026 | 20 |
| Football Pick'em Challenge terms | Effective September 3, 2026 | 20 |
| Official Sweepstakes Rules | May 2, 2024 | 14 |
| Pick'em rules | No revision header | 14 |
One line in that table is not a rollback at all. Thrillzz created the terms of a free NFL pick'em contest with a 75-inch TV as first prize on September 4, the day before we read this set, and they bar the same 20 states as the Games documents.
Which Thrillzz documents came back?
All four of the pages that returned a 404 on August 27. The Promotional Terms of Use, the Sweepstakes Rules and the Mini Games Sweepstakes Official Rules are readable again, each with a July 14, 2026 header and the 20-state clause, and the fourth, the /games/ mirror of that last document, now redirects to it rather than failing.
One more path moved without ever having been a 404. /games/sweepstakes-official-rules/ was redirecting to a 2024 post with a 14-state list when we read it on August 27. Today it resolves to a document of its own, stamped July 14, 2026 and naming 20 states.
The page index tells the same story in one number, and that number has moved three times in eighteen days:
| Date we read it | Published pages in the index |
|---|---|
| August 18, 2026 | 75 |
| August 27, 2026 | 20 |
| August 31, 2026 | 44 |
| September 5, 2026 | 74 |
It has not settled either: six pages created in October 2025, the site's signup and landing templates, picked up fresh modification stamps on September 4 and 5. Expect the number to have moved again by the time you read this. We checked every document above against an invented URL on the same domain, which returns a 404 body of 36,955 bytes, so these are live pages rather than a soft error.
Thrillzz has published no notice of a change in either direction, and we cannot see from outside the company whether this was a deliberate rollback or a restore from an older copy of the site. The pattern fits a restore: a whole legal set reverting to one shared earlier date is not what a drafting decision usually looks like, and old pages returning in batches with their original creation dates intact is what a restore looks like from outside.
Do the Thrillzz state lists still contradict each other?
Close to it, with one document more. On August 18, nine of the ten rulebooks named 20 states and the footer-linked Terms of Use named 15. Today eight name 20, the Terms of Use still names 15, and two name a different 14.
The Terms of Use the site links from its footer bars 15 states: "Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, New York, Nevada, Ohio, Tennessee and Washington." Its clause stops at "attempting to enter a Contest". The Games and Promotional documents bar those 15 plus Alabama, Arizona, California, Connecticut and New Jersey, and their clause reads "attempting to enter a Contest or Sweepstakes".
So a player in Arizona, California, Connecticut or New Jersey reads the linked Terms, finds their state absent, and is then barred by the rulebook that decides prizes. Alabama is the exception among the five states the August rewrite added: it is missing from the Terms of Use as well, but it is named in both of the other documents the footer links, which carry the older 14-state clause. On August 27 all five were shut out of everything. Today four of them are back in the gap our August 18 report described.
Which document governs is not a single answer, because each rulebook names its own Terms. The Games Sweepstakes Official Rules say the Games Terms of Use prevails. The Sweepstakes Rules and the Mini Games Sweepstakes Official Rules both say the Promotional Terms of Use prevails. Those two documents carry the 20-state clause and neither is reachable from the homepage. The only rulebook that defers to the 15-state Terms of Use the footer does link is the one headed May 2, 2024.
A second gap runs the other way. The Official Sweepstakes Rules still carry their May 2, 2024 header and a 14-state list that names Iowa, Minnesota and South Carolina, three states none of the July 2026 documents mentions. The undated Pick'em rules repeat that same 14.
Can you play Thrillzz in Maine?
No. Maine's ban on online sweepstakes casinos is in force, and we covered the law taking effect. On both our August 27 and August 31 reads, the operator's paperwork contained no clause telling a Maine player they were excluded, in a state where the activity is already unlawful. Maine is named again today in eight of the ten documents.
Treat it as paperwork rather than protection. State law decides whether you may play, not an operator's contract, which is the point our guide to whether sweepstakes casinos are legal makes at length. Oklahoma, whose ban takes effect on November 1, 2026, is still absent from every Thrillzz document we have read.
Two limits on all of this. Apart from the March 19, 2026 capture above, the only before-state we can put beside today's readings is our own dated work: the Internet Archive holds no Thrillzz terms capture after that date, so the August 19 rewrite was never archived by anyone but us. And we read these pages from outside the United States, so we cannot say what a player inside any named state is shown at signup. Our document-checking method sets out what that does and does not prove.

FAQ
What states does Thrillzz say you cannot play in?
It depends which document you open. The linked Terms of Use names 15 states, the Games documents name 20, and the 2024 Official Sweepstakes Rules name a different 14 that includes Iowa, Minnesota and South Carolina.
Is Maine on the Thrillzz restricted list again?
Yes. Maine appears in the 20-state clause carried by the Games Terms of Use, the Sweepstakes Rules and the Promotional Terms of Use, and in the 15-state clause in the Terms of Use. It was absent from the version we read on August 27.
Which Thrillzz document wins if two disagree?
Each rulebook points at a different Terms. The Games Sweepstakes Official Rules say the Games Terms of Use prevails, and the Sweepstakes Rules and Mini Games rules say the Promotional Terms of Use prevails. Both of those bar 20 states, so on the operator's own ranking the longer list governs, and the 15-state document the footer links is only named as controlling by the May 2024 rulebook.
