Sports Betting Bill Gets Support of Vermont Senate

Published

on

 

Vermonters will likely be able to place legal bets on sporting events starting in January.

Currently, Vermont is the only state in the Northeast that does not allow online sports betting. But the Senate advanced legislation last week to change that.

Under the bill, the Department of Liquor and Lottery would administer the program and license a limited number of national gambling companies.

It is estimated that sports betting could raise roughly $10 million a year in new revenue when fully implemented.

Windsor Sen. Alison Clarkson said there are several goals with the bill.

“It captures lost revenue which would otherwise go to other states or offshore criminal organizations. It moves sports wagering from the dangerous illicit market to a safe legal and regulated market,” Clarkson said.

The bill also reserves roughly half a million dollars a year to fund treatment programs for Vermonters with gambling problems.

The House has approved a similar bill and the plan enjoys the support of Gov. Phil Scott.

MGCB Issues Cease-and-Desist Orders to Six Illegal Gambling Sites Targeting Michigan Players

Published

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has issued cease-and-desist letters to six unlicensed online gambling platforms attempting to target Michigan residents without state authorization. The action underscores the MGCB’s relentless, ongoing efforts to shut down illegal gambling operations and protect Michigan consumers from financial risk, identity theft, and unfair play.

The targeted sites—Crypto Slots, NitroBetting, NewVegas, Las Vegas USA Casino, Grand Rush Casino, and Slotgard Casino—were found to be operating in violation of Michigan laws that require licensure for internet gaming and sports betting.

“These sites were attempting to exploit Michigan players while operating outside the law. We take this seriously. When unauthorized operators offer games without regulation, Michigan players are left exposed—and we will not tolerate it,” said Henry Williams, MGCB Executive Director.

This enforcement action is part of the MGCB’s larger crackdown on illegal online gambling platforms. In recent months, the agency has issued numerous cease-and-desist letters, with additional investigations currently underway.

The MGCB continues to monitor online gaming activity and urges the public to be cautious when engaging with gambling content on social media or through digital advertisements.
