Offshore gaming operator Bovada has been banned in Washington D.C. and Connecticut following a crackdown that has seen the site outlawed in an ever-growing list of U.S. states.

A total of 10 states with a regulated gambling market have now banned the site from operating within state lines.

The latest additions to its list of restricted states come following a cease-and-desist order, sent to Harp Media B.V. from Connecticut some weeks ago. In the letter, the operator was accused of violating Connecticut General Statutes and the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUTPA).

Access to Bovada has also been restricted by Washington D.C., and in the last month alone, D.C. has seen the launch of multiple sports betting operators including the likes of BetMGM, Caesars, and DraftKings.
