(Bovada).- Bovada has added Pennsylvania, Kansas and Louisiana to its list of restricted jurisdictions. This brings the offshore gambling company’s banned list to 13 states, plus Washington, D.C.
The cat-and-mouse game between states and offshore operators is finally seeing some results. Regulators have used strongly worded cease-and-desist letters and promises of litigation to shut down the site.
Michigan led the charge against Bovada’s Harp Media, sending the first cease-and-desist letter in May. Connecticut, Colorado, and Ohio followed suit in August.
Key takeaways
- Pennsylvania, Kansas and Louisiana join Bovada’s restricted jurisdictions list, bringing the total to 13 states plus Washington, D.C.
- Regulators in these states issued cease-and-desist letters to Bovada’s parent company, Harp Media.
- Michigan sent a cease-and-desist letter to Bovada in May.
Pennsylvania addresses Bovada in August
Bovada has been on Pennsylvania’s regulatory radar for a while, and offering bets on the Little League World Series last month was the final straw.
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) confirmed it sent a cease-and-desist letter to the offshore site in August. And, as of Sept. 17, Pennsylvania is now on Bovada’s restricted list.
"The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board’s Office of Enforcement Counsel did send Bovada a cease and desist letter at the end of August. Because the letter came from the Board’s investigative unit, it is consider[ed] confidential,” PGCB spokesman Richard McGarvey told Bonus.
Regulators in states that made Bovada’s banned list sent cease-and-desist letters to Harp Media, and although they initially received no response, the company eventually exited those markets.
