Connecticut is the latest state to take a hardline stance against Bovada.

A representative for Connecticut’s Department of Consumer Protection Gaming Division confirmed with Sports Betting Dime that it will be sending a a cease-and-desist letter to Bovada, an illegally operating offshore sportsbook and online casino, within the next week.

It will likely be the second cease-and-desist letter sent to Bovada since last May, as Michigan sent the operator a notice on May 29.

Sports Betting Dime reached out to the Department of Consumer Protection Gaming Division last week to determine if the state had any plans to address Bovada following the Michigan Gaming Control Board’s notice.
