Legal vs. Illegal Gaming
Legal Vs. Illegal Gambling
Gambling is generally illegal in Michigan unless it is specifically authorized by state law. Gambling typically involves three elements: consideration (a wager), prize, and chance.
The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) licenses and regulates the following forms of legal gaming:
- Commercial and tribal casinos
- Online gaming and sports betting
- Fantasy contests
- Pari-mutuel horse racing
- Casino-style charitable gaming

The Michigan Gaming Control Board periodically reaches out to operators of online gaming platforms that appear to be offering services illegally within the state of Michigan. These operators are asked to either verify that they are in compliance with Michigan law or to immediately cease and desist from any gaming activities for which they are not properly licensed or registered.
Below is a list of operators to whom the MGCB has issued cease-and-desist letters. Please note that this list is not exhaustive and does not include all unlicensed or illegal online gaming platforms. Only those operators explicitly listed by the MGCB as licensed or registered are authorized to legally offer online gaming services in Michigan.
Copies of the cease-and-desist letters can be viewed by following the links provided below.
