"Multi-State Crackdown: Online Gaming Giants Face Legal Heat In a significant escalation of the ongoing battle against online gambling, three US states have issued cease and desist orders to major gaming companies, accusing them of operating illegally within their jurisdictions. The states, which have not been publicly disclosed, are taking a firm stance against what they deem to be unauthorized online gaming operations. The move is seen as a major blow to the companies, which have been operating freely in the absence of clear federal regulations. As the online gaming industry continues to grow, the conflicting state laws are creating a complex web of compliance issues, with operators caught in the middle."
All three states have sent cease and desist orders to such companies accusing them of engaging in illegal online gambling under state law.
