Michigan regulator cracks down on eight unlicensed online gambling operators

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has ordered eight unlicensed online gambling operators to stop targeting Michigan players immediately.

The operators ordered to halt operations in Michigan include Bspin Casino, Everygame Casino, Everygame Sports Casino, Kudos Casino, PlayCroco Online Casino, Slots of Vegas, Spin Dimension, and Super Slots.

“These unlawful operators try to present themselves as legitimate entertainment options, but they offer zero player protections, no accountability, and a real risk to consumers,” said Henry Williams, MGCB Executive Director. “Our message is simple: If you want to offer gambling in Michigan, follow the law or we will stop you."

Michigan law allows internet gaming and sports betting only through MGCB-licensed operators. These eight sites were found to be offering casino-style games and interactive betting without approval, violating the Lawful Internet Gaming Act, the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, and parts of the Michigan Penal Code.

Unlike licensed operators, these platforms are not subject to independent testing or consumer protection requirements, the regulator highlighted. The operators must immediately halt Michigan-facing operations or face further action from the MGCB and the Michigan Department of Attorney General.

The crackdown coincides with the MGCB’s Play It Smart, Michigan campaign, which educates residents on the dangers of illegal gambling and how to identify unlicensed operators. The agency’s website features a “Legal vs. Illegal Gaming” page with tips to spot unauthorized platforms, a list of licensed operators, and guidance on avoiding scams.

“Fake ads can look convincing—sometimes even using familiar logos or names—but they can be nothing more than a gateway to offshore sites that put players at risk,” Williams said. “Through our Play It Smart, Michigan campaign, we’re giving Michiganders the tools they need to tell the difference between safe, legal play and dangerous, illegal operations.”
