The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) is continuing to actively pursue unlicensed online gaming operators in the state.
The MGCB has sent cease and desist letters to a further five operators that provide illegal gambling services in the state, in beach of the Lawful Internet Gaming Act, the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, and the Michigan Penal Code.
The latest sites to face regulatory action are BoVegas Casino, BUSR, Cherry Gold Casino, Lucky Legends, and Wager Attack Casino.
Following this latest crackdown, the MGCB has issued cease-and-desist letters to 93 illegal online gambling sites this year.
“These illegal sites undermine the integrity of Michigan’s regulated gaming industry and put players at serious risk,” said MGCB executive director Henry Williams.
“We will not tolerate unlicensed gambling operations that exploit Michigan residents. Our top priority is to protect the public by enforcing the law and shutting down these illegal platforms.”
The operators have 14 days from receipt of the order to comply, with failure to adhere to the order resulting in legal action.
