Louisiana and Mississippi regulators issue cease-and-desist letters to gambling sites
Louisiana’s Gaming Control Board said it issued 40 cease-and-desist letters to offshore gambling platforms and online sweepstakes operators, naming Harp Media BV, which operates Bovada. The Mississippi Gaming Commission also issued letters to offshore and sweepstakes sites, including Chumba Casino, and published a list of 10 operators it said were offering gambling in the state without licences.
The actions require affected operators to stop offering gambling services in Louisiana and Mississippi without local authorisation.
