Michigan Self-Excluded Players Lack Protection on Offshore Sites

The Michigan Gaming Control Board has issued cease-and-desist letters to 33 offshore operators accused of offering casino games, sweepstakes-style games or sports betting to Michigan residents without a state license. The October action also highlights a gap in protection for people who have self-excluded from legal online gambling. The MGCB said its investigations found that each operator was offering at least one of the three forms of gambling to Michigan residents without authorization.
