The Michigan Gaming Control Board, as active a regulator as any in the nation in cracking down on illegal and unlicensed gambling, on Thursday added Papaya Gaming to its list of offenders. The MGCB announced it had sent the Tel Aviv, Israel-based operator a cease-and-desist letter regarding its unregulated online gaming products available within Michigan’s state borders.
The MGCB indicated it received an anonymous tip about Papaya, investigated, and found that four of the company’s apps — 21 Cash, Bingo Cash, Bubble Cash, and Solitaire Cash — have been available for real-money play in the state.
“The Michigan Gaming Control Board firmly believes in a regulated and safe gaming environment,” Executive Director Henry Williams said in the press release.
