The Real Deal
The Lowdown on Legal Operations
Licensed sports betting operators will operate in compliance with various laws and regulations, such as the Lawful Internet Gaming Act, the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, the Michigan Penal Code, and other state regulations [1][5]. They also must provide essential consumer protections for a safer and regulated betting experience.
How Michigan Stands Against Unlicensed Operators
To curb the growth of unlicensed offshore sports betting in Michigan, the state has been serving cease-and-desist orders, targeting unlicensed operators like You Wager, Bet Pop Casino, Wager 7, and Discount Wager [1][5]. Upon receiving these orders, operators have 14 days to comply, or their activities can lead to further legal action conducted in coordination with the Michigan Department of Attorney General.
Be Aware and Report
The Michigan Gaming Control Board encourages the public to stay vigilant and report any signs of illegal gambling anonymously, helping ensure consumer safety and prevent fraudulent activities.
In essence, Michigan requires licensed operators to adhere to its regulations for legal sports betting operations, protecting consumers and upholding state law. Don't miss out on Grant Mitchell's latest articles on the sports betting industry! All Reviews by Grant Mitchell
