Bonus TL;DR

Virtual Gaming Worlds (VGW) has launched a new Chumba Casino iOS app with its full game catalog and Sweeps Coins play in eligible states.
VGW plans to gradually withdraw Chumba Lite, its existing iOS app limited to Gold Coins play, and notify players about moving to the replacement.

Virtual Gaming Worlds (VGW) has launched a new Chumba Casino app on Apple’s App Store for US iPhone and iPad users, according to Covers on Nov. 3, 2026.

The app supports Standard Play using Gold Coins and Promotional Play using Sweeps Coins in states where Chumba offers both options. Its predecessor, Chumba Lite, supported only Standard Play.

Full Game Catalog and Account Syncing

The new app includes Chumba’s full game catalog, including Social Plus games, progressive jackpots, live social casino titles, and other exclusive games.

Account profiles, game history, and balances synchronize in real time between the app and the desktop website. Users can log in with Face ID or Touch ID. Security measures include App Store age-gating for players 21 and older and mandatory identity verification.

Scott Milford, VGW’s chief product and revenue officer, described the launch in a statement quoted by Covers:

“Bringing Chumba Casino to the Apple App Store is an exciting milestone for VGW as we continue to expand our reach and further improve our player experience.”

VGW plans to gradually withdraw Chumba Lite. Existing players will receive notifications and the option to move to the new app.

VGW’s New York Enforcement History

The rollout follows VGW’s agreement in September to pay $8 million in a settlement with New York Attorney General Letitia James over sweepstakes casino operations. The settlement covers Chumba Casino, Global Poker and Luckyland Slots, according to Covers.

The attorney general’s office said its investigation found that players could collect Sweeps Coins through purchases, receiving approximately one coin for every dollar spent on the platforms.

VGW previously received a cease-and-desist letter in June 2025, prompting it to stop offering virtual coin gambling in New York.
