The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) continued its cease-and-desist frenzy on Friday, this time giving the Costa Rican gambling company Ace23 14 days to halt operations in the Wolverine State.
The MGCB sent letters to Ace23, which operates the website Ace23.ag, and its parent company, Ace Per Head. According to a press release, an “extensive investigation” by the MGCB and its law enforcement partners found that Ace23.ag is a site that enables “‘agents/bookies” to establish bookmaking operations using different web pages where they can accept wagers and make payouts to online casino and sports betting clients.
In essence, Ace23 acts as a sort of online clearinghouse for independent bookies.
