The Michigan Gaming Control Board has initiated investigations into unlicensed sports prediction markets operating within the US state.
These platforms, which bypass Michigan’s regulatory framework, have raised significant concerns about consumer protections.
Michigan’s investigations align with similar actions already taken by other state regulatory bodies and focus on how this form of unlicensed sports betting may jeopardise the integrity of Michigan’s legal sports betting system.
“We take consumer protection very seriously and are committed to ensuring that Michigan residents are engaging with safe and legal sports betting options,” said Henry Williams, executive director of the MGCB.
“Unlicensed entities not only pose a risk to consumers but also undercut the integrity and revenue-generating potential of the state’s regulated sports betting industry.
"We are actively investigating these practices and will pursue appropriate measures to protect Michigan bettors.”
