Relax Gaming, the iGaming aggregator and supplier of unique content, has crowned its eighth millionaire in less than a year since the launch of the revolutionary jackpot mechanic, Dream Drop Jackpots.

This prize drop comes just a month after the seventh Mega Jackpot winner was announced in April, further cementing Dream Drop Jackpots as the most lucrative jackpot product ever released in the industry.

The lucky eighth player won an incredible €2,311,598 million at Casumo’s online casino after placing a €0.60 bet on 5K Gold Mine Dream Drop, a brand-new slot from Relax’s Silver Bullet partner 4ThePlayer.

4ThePlayer’s 5k Gold Mine Dream Drop invites players to embark on an unforgettable Wild West adventure that can see them win up to 5,000x their stake via a Gold Rush Trail feature, free spins, and mystery symbols.

Should players trigger the jackpot a special reel will spin, moving a mine cart around a set of tracks, stopping on either Rapid, Midi, Maxi, Major or the Mega Jackpot.

Released on April 18th, the record-breaking win meant that the latest awe-inspiring jackpot payout took place just a day after the game’s launch.

Commenting on the player’s win, Simon Hammon, CEO at Relax Gaming, said: “We are fast approaching the one-year anniversary of the Dream Drop Jackpot and I honestly could not think of a better way to celebrate that than to see someone else win one of our wonderful Mega Jackpots!

“Awarding eight top-tier jackpots in less than twelve months is no mean feat. It’s fair to say that Dream Drop Jackpots have truly revolutionised the space, what’s more, this really is only the beginning.”

Andrew Porter, Founder and CEO of 4ThePlayer, said: “I am delighted that a player has won such a life-changing jackpot playing 5k Gold Mine Dream Drop!

“This is exactly why we wanted to create a Dream Drop Game, to combine 4ThePlayer’s innovative and engaging gameplay with the rapid and exciting Dream Drop system. For the jackpot to be won so soon after the game’s release is incredible. We hope the player enjoys their winnings.”

Tim De Borle, Chief Operating Officer of Casumo added: “It’s always a thrill to see one of our players trigger a huge jackpot prize. All of us at Casumo would like to extend our congratulations to the lucky winner, we can’t wait to hear what’s in store for them next.”

Arizona Department of Gaming Issues Cease-and-Desists on “Phoenix Dream Home Sweepstakes”

Published

The Arizona Department of Gaming (“the Department” or “ADG”) issued cease-and-desist orders to Raffall, a company based in the United Kingdom, and to an Arizona resident using the platform to promote the ‘Phoenix Dream Home Sweepstakes,’ currently advertised online and through a separate website, winthisazhome.com, which is marketing the chance to ‘Win a Luxury $1.3M Arizona Mountainside Home.’

According to the Department’s investigation, the promotion required participants to purchase entries for a prize to be awarded and promised either a home transfer or a cash payout, depending on sales volume. The investigation further determined that the organizers intended to profit from ticket sales. Based on these findings, the Department alleges the activity constitutes an illegal gambling operation under Arizona law.

As part of the enforcement action, Raffall has been directed to remove all gambling-related drawings or giveaways targeting Arizona residents, and the Arizona resident has also been ordered to cease promoting or conducting any unlawful gambling activity.

“Illegal gambling can take many forms and it does not matter if it is labeled a sweepstakes, raffle, giveaway, or drawing,” said Jackie Johnson, Director of the Arizona Department of Gaming. “Unregulated operations put Arizonans at risk because there is no oversight, and therefore no accountability or safeguards in place. The Department will continue to take enforcement action to protect consumers, and we urge the public to learn what is legal before participating in or hosting any gambling activity.”

Why This Operation Is Illegal

Arizona law prohibits gambling unless it is specifically authorized (A.R.S. Title 13, Chapter 33). There is no exception for so-called “sweepstakes.” Raffles may only be conducted by Arizona charitable, tax-exempt organizations (A.R.S. § 13-3302(B) & (C)), and personal profit is prohibited. Only individuals 21 years of age or older may legally participate in gambling in Arizona.

Because this operation is accessible to users under the age of 21, is conducted for personal gain, and is not conducted by a qualified nonprofit, it violates Arizona law. Additional potential felony violations include:

  • Promotion of Gambling – A.R.S. § 13-3303
  • Illegal Control of an Enterprise – A.R.S. § 13-2312
  • Money Laundering – A.R.S. § 13-2317

Furthermore, foreign-based platforms, such as Raffall, do not adhere to Arizona or U.S. gambling laws, leaving consumers without essential protections.

Consumer Protection Advisory

As illegal online gambling activity continues to rise, the Department urges all residents and visitors to be cautious when participating in gaming, whether online or in-person. Regulated gaming provides important consumer protections, ensuring fair play and fair drawings, data security, accountability, and a safer overall experience.

If you purchased entries in this illegal gambling operation:

  • Stop participating immediately and do not buy additional entries.
  • Contactyourbank or credit card company to dispute the charges or request a chargeback. Your financial institution is the best avenue for seeking a refund.
  • Monitor your accounts for unauthorized transactions.
  • If you suspect identity theft, report it to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC):
  • IdentityTheft.gov (English)
  • RobodeIdentidad.gov (Spanish)

Important: The Department cannot assist with refund requests or individual disputes against unlicensed platforms. Consumers must work through their financial institutions to protect themselves and/or retain legal counsel. They may also file complaints with the Arizona Attorney General’s Consumer Information and Complaints Unit at (602) 542-5763 or azag.gov/consumer.
