Illegal online gambling: Six unlicensed operators ordered to halt services in Michigan

(Detroit).- In a continued effort to safeguard Michigan residents and uphold the integrity of its regulated gaming environment, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has issued cease-and-desist orders to six online gambling operators unlawfully offering services in the stat

Illegal online gambling: Six unlicensed operators ordered to halt services in Michigan

The named entities—Bonus Blitz Casino, DomGame, Royal Ace Casino, Slots Capital, Supernova Casino, and Wins Mania—have been found providing internet-based gambling without obtaining the necessary state authorization, violating Michigan’s Lawful Internet Gaming Act, the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, and sections of the Michigan Penal Code.

“These illegal operators often masquerade as legitimate gaming platforms, but they exist entirely outside the legal safeguards that protect consumers,” said Henry Williams, Executive Director of the MGCB. “When Michiganders play on unlicensed sites, they’re placing their personal and financial security at risk—with little to no recourse if things go wrong.”

Distinct from Legal Gaming
Unlike Michigan-licensed gaming platforms—which undergo rigorous vetting, continuous monitoring, and must comply with strict state regulations—these unlicensed operators are not authorized to offer gaming services in the state. Some are based outside the United States, operating beyond the reach of U.S. regulatory oversight, while others may claim domestic ties but still fail to meet Michigan’s legal and licensing requirements.

Because they operate without state approval, these entities do not follow Michigan’s consumer protection standards, responsible gaming mandates, or transparent dispute resolution procedures designed to ensure fair play and data security.

“This action sends a clear message to illegal operators: Michigan is not a place for rogue gambling,” Williams said. “We are committed to preserving a safe, legal, and accountable gaming landscape—and that includes rooting out bad actors who threaten the trust we’ve built with consumers.”

Enforcement and Consumer Protection
The cease-and-desist orders direct the six companies to immediately terminate all operations involving Michigan residents or face escalating legal consequences.

The MGCB encourages the public to use only state-approved platforms, which are listed on the agency’s website, and urges consumers to remain vigilant against suspicious sites that may resemble legal operators. The Board also invites residents to report any unauthorized gaming activity by calling 1-888-314-2682 or emailing MIGamblingTip@michigan.gov.

Know the Risks of Illegal Gambling
Participating in illegal gambling can expose players to:

  •         Loss of funds deposited with no regulatory recourse
  •         Identity theft and misuse of personal data
  •         Unfair or rigged games with no transparency
  •         Lack of access to responsible gaming tools and self-exclusion programs
