Arizona’s gambling regulator, the Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG), has sent five cease-and-desist orders to online operators accused of offering illegal gambling services to residents of the state.
The orders have been issued to BetOpenly, Bookmaker, Club WPT Online Poker, Kutt Inc., and Raffle Creator. The department claims that the companies violated Arizona gambling laws through a range of unlicensed activities, including promoting illegal gambling, operating unlawful enterprises, and money laundering.
According to the ADG, BetOpenly allowed unlicensed peer-to-peer sports betting and casino games while allowing underage users access to its platform. Bookmaker is accused of offering sports betting, horse race wagering and casino games without the required state approvals.
