Michigan regulator issues cease-and-desist letters to 15 unlicensed gaming operators
The operators are accused of offering casino-style games or interactive wagering.
US.- The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has issued cease-and-desist letters to 15 unlicensed online gambling operators. The regulator said the platforms have been found targeting residents without authorisation.
The operators are 7 Bit Casino, Avia Games Inc., Grande Vegas Casino, High Country Casino, i Net Bet, Liberty Slots Casino, Lincoln Casino, Lucky Hippo Casino, Miami Club Casino, PrimaPlay Casino, Slot Madness, Slots Plus Casino, Sun Palace Casino, Vegas Casino Online, and Vegas2Web Casino.
According to the regulator, they were found offering casino-style games or interactive wagering without the required licence. The violations fall under multiple state laws, such as the Lawful Internet Gaming Act, the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, and sections of the Michigan Penal Code.
Henry Williams, MGCB executive director, commented: “These unlawful operators try to present themselves as legitimate entertainment options, but they offer zero player protections, no accountability, and a real risk to consumers. Our message is simple: If you want to offer gambling in Michigan, follow the law or we will stop you. We will continue to work aggressively to keep illegal gambling out of our state.”
