The Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection suspended the license of an online gaming provider for illegal activity.
The department says that High5Games, which provides online slot content for legal gaming platforms in Connecticut, also illegally operates an unlicensed casino called High5Casino. It was marketed as a legal and licensed casino and accepted wagers from bettors, including those who had signed up for the statewide voluntary self-exclusion list.
It was found that 1,100 customers made deposits and used the platform to gamble. Of those customers, 911 lost a total of $937,938. 108 of them were signed up for the self-exclusion list.
High5Games will now be charged with 1,065 criminal counts of conducting illegal gaming activity.
