Michigan’s gambling regulator has now issued cease and desist orders to more than fifty unlicensed online gambling websites after its latest crackdown last week.
Continuing its fight against illegal online gambling website operatoring in the state, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) sent cease and desist letters to a further 13 operators based in jurisdictions including Curaçao, Costa Rica, and the Autonomous Island of Anjouan.
The sites facing regulatory action are 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.
After this last round of enforcement action, the MGCB has issued cease and desist letters to 52 illegal online gambling sites this year.
“These illegal gambling websites put Michigan residents at significant personal and financial risk,” said MGCB executive director Henry Williams. “Our priority is to maintain a secure and regulated gaming environment. These websites not only violate Michigan’s laws but also engage in deceptive practices that endanger consumers, including withholding winnings and imposing unfair wagering requirements.”
The cease and desist letters instruct the operators to cease all unlawful activities within 14 days of receipt. If the operators fail to comply, the MGCB will work with the Michigan Attorney General’s Office to pursue legal action against these entities.
