The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) is taking a firm stand against unauthorized gaming operators. In a recent move, the MGCB has issued cease and desist notices to Ace23 and Papaya Gaming, joining Bovada, who received a similar notice earlier this year. Moreover, Michigan also sent a cease and desist notice to One Country Give in August.

Recent Developments
The MGCB's crackdown on unauthorized operators is part of an ongoing effort to protect Michigan residents from illegal online gaming sites. Offshore operators like MyBookie.ag, BetOnline, and Sportsbetting.ag, which allowed Michigan players to access their platforms, have already received cease and desist letters for violating state laws [2][5].
The MGCB's strategy includes undercover investigations and issuing cease and desist letters to operators who fail to comply with state regulations. This proactive approach has been effective in ensuring that most unauthorized operators cease their activities in Michigan [1][2].
Though specific details about Ace23, Papaya Gaming, Bovada, and One Country Give are not provided, it is likely that they are operating without proper authorization in Michigan, violating state gaming laws.
