The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has recently sent Duranbah Limited N.V., the operator of MyBookie.ag, a cease-and-desist letter following an investigation into the Curaçao-based website.
The regulator found that MyBookie.ag was in violation of Michigan’s gambling laws, including Michigan Penal Code, the Lawful Internet Gaming Act and the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act.
The control board said in a statement, “The MGCB’s investigation revealed that MyBookie.ag’s operation of online casino-style games for paying customers, without a valid Michigan gambling license, breaches several state laws.”
MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams also took a moment to discuss the investigation and what the regulator discovered.
He commented, “Our investigation into MyBookie.ag found that their operations were accessible to Michigan citizens, which violates state laws. We are taking strong action to uphold the principles of fair and legal gaming.”
The site offers its clients a variety of payment options for deposits. Players can use Visa, MasterCard, American Express and PayPal for account deposits, as well as various cryptocurrencies and MoneyGram.
But withdrawals on the site can only be made by using a bank wire transfer or Bitcoin.
