Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board sends cease-and-desist letters to 18 sweepstakes operators
The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board said on 7 April that it had sent cease-and-desist letters to 18 sweepstakes operators, none of which had permits to operate in the state. Chief Enforcement Counsel Cyrus Pitre said new brands continued to appear, while Chief Counsel Steve Cook called for legal amendments to address limits on the board’s authority.
The letters put unpermitted sweepstakes operators on notice while the regulator says its enforcement powers are limited.
