Michigan regulator issues further cease-and-desist letters to offshore operators
The Michigan Gaming Control Board has issued ten cease-and-desist letters to unlicensed offshore operators.
The regulator disclosed that each of the ten operators were found to be owned by Apex Dynamics Ltd, a Belize-based operator that operated unlawfully in Michigan.
Michigan Gaming Control Board Executive Director Henry Williams said, “The Gaming Control Board’s relentless dedication to maintaining the integrity of Michigan’s gaming industry drives our efforts. We will continue to take strong action to shut down illegal operations that undermine trust in Michigan’s legal gaming system.”
The ten unregulated online platforms offered Michigan players casino-style games. They included Aladdin’s Gold Casino, All Star Slots, Buzz Luck, Club World Casinos, CryptoReels, High Noon, Lucky Red Casino, Manhattan Slots Casino, ReelSpin Casino, and Slotter Casino.
The Michigan Gaming Control Board’s investigation discovered that the online casinos had violated various Michigan state laws, including the Lawful Internet Gaming Act, the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, and the Michigan Penal Code.
As of the conditions of the cease-and-desist letters, the operators have 14 days to cease all unregulated activities in Michigan. Failure to do so will result in legal action conducted by the Michigan Gaming Control Board and the Michigan Attorney General’s Office.
