Gambling regulators in Michigan are proud of the work they have done to shut down sports predictions and other forms of unregulated gambling in the state, but expect to still be tested in the future.
Michigan Gaming Control Board Executive Director Henry Williams highlighted collaborative efforts with state attorney general’s office to get four prediction market operators to stop offering sports contracts during Tuesday’s meeting.
Polymarket agreed to shut down its sports offerings and close open positions by Nov. 25, the board announced in late October.
“The work they do each day on behalf of this agency is overwhelming,” Henry said. “They do an excellent job, and ensuring that we’re protecting the citizens of this great state, that we’re enforcing the licensing rules and the laws that the legislature has given us to enforce.”
