The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) issued nine cease-and-desist letters to unlicensed online casino operators in the Great Lakes State. The market has 15 legal online casinos and the regulator has been hard at work shutting down unlicensed competition.
The MGCB claims that these operators have violated state gaming laws by offering slots, poker, blackjack, roulette, and craps, as well as sports betting and horse racing. Henry Williams, MGCB Executive Director, said in a statement:
“These unlicensed operators are not only in violation of Michigan’s laws but also pose significant risks to consumers by offering limited and often unreliable withdrawal options.
“Our role is to protect Michigan residents by ensuring that all online gambling activities are carried out legally and responsibly. These operators have 14 days to cease their illegal activities or face further legal action.”
