MGCB Issues Cease-and-Desist Letters to Nine Unlicensed Online Casinos

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has taken strict action against nine online casinos, issuing cease-and-desist letters for violations of state gaming laws. The affected websites offer a range of casino-style games, such as slots, poker, blackjack, roulette, and craps, as well as betting services for sporting events and horse races.
The following operators have been issued cease-and-desist orders:
BetAnySports (BAS)
CoolCat Casino
Diamond Sportsbook International, d/b/a BetDSI.eu (BetDSI)
Solar Game LTD and Busan Trade Office (Go Go Gold)
My Dreams Casino
NonStop casino
Palace of Chance
Xbet Casino
WagerWeb
“These unlicensed operators are not only in violation of Michigan’s laws but also pose significant risks to consumers by offering limited and often unreliable withdrawal options. Our role is to protect Michigan residents by ensuring that all online gambling activities are carried out legally and responsibly. These operators have 14 days to cease their illegal activities or face further legal action,” said MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams.

“The ACR Team Online Championships are a great way for the poker community to come together, have some fun, and interact with us on a whole new level,” said O’Driscoll. “I can’t wait to dive in and see who steps up to the challenge.”
Players that make it to the Final Table each Thursday will be entered into a random drawing, streamed live on the ACR Show on ACR Poker’s Twitch channel the following Friday. If selected, the winner will receive $1,000 to participate in a private, streamed $5/10 cash game table on the final Saturday of each month.
The excitement will really peak during the cash game as players battle it out against ACR Team Online members, who will have their own single $1,000 buy-in.
