By mailing cease-and-desist letters to five offshore internet casinos for breaking state gaming rules, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has taken firm action.
In addition to sports betting, these websites provide a range of casino games, including slots, poker, blackjack, Keno, bingo, and game show games.
Following the Michigan Gaming Control Board action, the following unauthorized operators are currently being investigated:
- Curaçao’s BetWhale Casino
- The Black Lotus Casino in Belize is owned by TD Investments Ltd.
- Curaçao’s Coins Game Casino
- Costa Rica and Curaçao’s Love2Play Casino
- Players of Orion Stars 777, Sichuan Province, China
In addition to breaking Michigan’s gaming laws, these illicit sites endanger users by providing erratic withdrawal methods and lacking crucial consumer safeguards.
Protecting Michigan residents by making sure that all online gaming is done in a safe and legal manner is our top focus.
Henry Williams, the executive director of the MGCB, stated that these operators must cease their operations or risk further legal repercussions.

The operators are in breach of several Michigan state statutes, according to investigations investigating these unlawful acts.
These illicit operators enforce stringent withdrawal requirements, frequently requiring players to bet their initial deposits several times before they can access their profits, even if they provide a variety of payment alternatives, including Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and cryptocurrencies (such as Bitcoin and Ethereum).
These operators have been given 14 days by the MGCB to stop their unlawful operations after receiving the cease-and-desist letters.
