What this means for players in Mississippi
Mississippi is bordered on its western side by two states where WorldWinner does not offer cash competitions: Arkansas and Louisiana. Alabama and Tennessee, like Mississippi itself, have no state-specific limit. Players in Mississippi therefore have the full cash lineup at home and lose it entirely, not partially, when the device is physically in either western neighbor. The Memphis area is a good illustration, since its suburbs spread into northern Mississippi and across the river into Arkansas: the Mississippi and Tennessee portions are treated alike by WorldWinner, and the Arkansas portion is not.
All five other operators tracked here (Skillz, AviaGames, FanDuel Faceoff, Papaya Gaming's Solitaire Cash, and Play Perfect's Solitaire Smash) publish Mississippi as offered, though FanDuel Faceoff lists neighboring Tennessee as free play only, a reminder that lists differ by company. Mississippi applies a flat 4.00% rate to taxable income above $10,000, reduced from 4.40% on January 1, 2026. The figure is general information from the Tax Foundation's 2026 table.
