Mississippi Gaming Commission on Tuesday sent letters to companies illegally operating online casinos and targeting customers who live in Mississippi.
The Gaming Commission sent cease and desist letters to 10 operators of online sports books or online casinos found to be operating illegally in Mississippi, said Jay McDaniel, executive director of the Gaming Commission.
“This includes the operator that has been using pictures of our licensed casinos to fraudulently lure customers to their illegal site,” he said.
Several Coast casinos have had their photos and logos lifted illegally by these companies, who then posted on Facebook with false headlines that said online casinos now are legal in Mississippi.
