Michigan's Gaming Control Board has intensified its crackdown on unregulated online gaming by issuing cease-and-desist letters to 13 offshore operators. These sites, based in locations such as Curaçao and Costa Rica, have been accused of posing significant financial risks to Michigan residents, including deceptive practices like withholding winnings and imposing unreasonable wagering requirements. The state is ensuring compliance with its laws by threatening legal action against these operators, reiterating its commitment to a transparent and secure gaming environment that prioritizes consumer protection and responsible gaming standards.
These illegal gambling websites put Michigan residents at significant personal and financial risk. 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 agencies noted that the operators engaged in dishonest practices, such as restricting withdrawals and demanding players meet high, often unreasonable, wagering thresholds before accessing their funds.
Our ongoing effort to provide a transparent and trustworthy gaming environment is crucial in combatting these unregulated operators.
