Stake’s US gaming platform is among a new cohort of brands to have been hit with cease-and-desist orders by the gambling regulator in Arizona.
The Arizona Department of Gaming (AFG) has also ordered ReBet, Novig, Dallas Safari Club, Fanthem, BettorEdge and High 5 to cease operations in the state.
“Illegal gambling, regardless of the platform or format, has no place in Arizona,” said Jackie Johnson, director of the ADG. “Whether it’s online casino-style games, sweepstakes models, or unauthorised sports betting, any operation that falls outside Arizona’s legal and regulatory framework will face enforcement action.
“Illegal gambling doesn’t just break the law; it robs our state’s economy and puts consumers at risk.
“The Department stands firmly with our licensed and regulated operators who are following the rules, contributing to Arizona’s economic health and upholding the protections that a regulated market provides.”
