Michigan Gaming Regulator Is Taking Action Against Unlicensed Operators
According to the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB), 15 commercial and tribal operators have been authorized to offer iGaming and/or internet sports betting in the Wolverine State. Currently, 12 operators offer internet sports betting and 15 offer iGaming.
Michigan is among the dozen-or-so states that’s cracking down on unregulated sweepstakes casinos, offshore sportsbooks, and sports prediction markets. More than 20 offshore gambling sites have been banned recently.
Last week, the MGCB opened a series of investigations into unlicensed sports prediction markets operating within the state. These unlicensed wagering platforms impact consumer protection and “may jeopardize the integrity of Michigan’s legal sports betting system.”
Sports prediction markets allow users to trade their predictions on the outcomes of sports events via contracts. These exchange-traded markets are available on platforms like ForecastEx2, Kalshi, Polymarket, and PredictIt.
