Michigan regulator sends cease-and-desist letters to four more unlicensed online casinos
All four brands are operated by the same company.
US.- The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has issued cease-and-desist letters to four unlicensed online casinos. The platforms are Betty Wins, Orbit Spins, Pacific Spins Casino, and Yabby Casino, all operated by Tech Zone, a company registered offshore in the Union of Comoros.
MGCB said the four brands were found to be illegally targeting residents, violating the Lawful Internet Gaming Act, the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act and sections of the Michigan Penal Code.
Henry Williams, MGCB executive director, said: “These offshore operators lure players with flashy ads and promises of big winnings, but in reality, they put consumers at serious financial and personal risk. We will continue to take strong action against unlicensed sites to ensure gambling in Michigan is legal, fair, and secure.
“Illegal operators may use familiar branding or social media ads to appear trustworthy. But if the site isn’t licensed by the MGCB, it isn’t safe. We encourage all players to check before they bet.”
The regulator recently issued cease-and-desist letters to 15 unlicensed online gambling operators.
