Unlicensed sports prediction platforms under investigation
The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) recently initiated investigations into unlicensed sports prediction markets amid concerns about consumer protections. The investigations align with similar actions taken by other state regulatory bodies and focus on how this form of unlicensed sports betting may jeopardise the integrity of Michigan’s legal sports betting system.
The MGCB has also taken action against 13 offshore gambling websites, which were found to be unlawfully targeting Michigan residents. The websites Captain Jack Casino, Casino Brango, Ducky Luck Casino, El Royale Casino, Jazz Casino, Jazz Sports Casino Racebook, Looselines, Planet 7 Casino, Red Dog Casino, Royal Oak Casino, Silver Oak Casino, Skybook, and Slots of Vegas were operating without state licences.
