A new six-page, six-question attestation form issued by the Michigan Gaming Control Board in late April has left some licensed iGaming and sports betting suppliers in a lurch, unsure how to respond to the open-ended inquiry that the board itself has revealed is more about “information gathering” at this point.
The “Illegal Gaming Attestation Internet Game Content Providers” form may be well-intentioned to stamp out support for illegal actors siphoning business and taxable revenue from Michigan’s legal market, but it has numerous stakeholders concerned, owing to their relationships and involvement in areas where the legality or illegality of iGaming is not cut-and-dried.
