My read is the model survives but gets messier state by state. The no-purchase entry framing is what keeps it legal, and that is a real legal distinction, not just marketing.
Where it gets risky is when operators lean too hard on the coin purchase side and barely offer free entry. That is what gives lawmakers an easy target.
I expect a few more states to add restrictions over the next year or two, but a nationwide ban is unlikely given how each state handles its own gambling rules. The practical advice stays the same, cash out your Sweeps Coins regularly instead of letting a big balance sit.
