Not legal advice. This table reflects VS Compete's own conservative, region-by-region availability settings — not a legal opinion about any state's law. Availability can change over time.
VS Compete operates as a skill-based contest with no-cash-value prizes and a free method of entry, which is how skill-game apps generally stay distinct from gambling. We still take a conservative, state-by-state approach and turn off paid competitions in a handful of states where the rules are stricter or unsettled.
As of 2026, paid token competitions are turned off (Free Play stays open) in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
Yes. Every skill game and the leaderboard are open everywhere. Only paid token competitions and the token store are turned off in Free-Play states.
The app checks your approximate region by IP when you open it, and enables or disables paid competitions accordingly.
No matter your state, the full arcade is open. Play a round free and see what VS Compete is about.
