MyBookie.ag, one of the most popular of the offshore sportsbooks, is the latest to receive a cease and desist letter from Michigan regulators.

Since last year, the Michigan Gaming Control Board has sent countless letters out to operators ranging from offshore sportsbooks to sweepstakes casinos to even providers.

MyBookie is the latest target of the MGCB.

The MGCB cited violations of three state laws in its letter to MyBookie:

Lawful Internet Gaming Act: Requires all sportsbook operators in the state to be licensed.
Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act: Imposes up to 10 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $100,000 for illegal sportsbooks.
Michigan Penal Code: It’s illegal for unlicensed sportsbooks to accept money with the understanding that any payouts are based on “uncertain” events.

“Our investigation into MyBookie.ag found that their operations were accessible to Michigan citizens, which violates state laws,” MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams said in a news release. “We are taking strong action to uphold the principles of fair and legal gaming.”

The letter gives MyBookie.ag 14 days to comply.
