Connecticut DCP suspends High 5 Games online gaming licence
Connecticut’s Department of Consumer Protection Gaming Division summarily suspended High 5 Games’ online gaming service provider licence after an investigation alleged that the company operated an unlicensed casino platform and accepted wagers from state residents. The DCP said 911 players lost $937,938; it also said 108 self-excluded people lost nearly $300,000, and High 5 Games faces 1,065 criminal counts.
Operators face licensing and enforcement risks when unlicensed platforms accept wagers, while regulators must protect players, including self-excluded people.
