AGA wants the DOJ to crack down on illegal sportsbooks. AGA specifically mentions Bovada, MyBookie, and BetOnline. The AGA also wants to focus on unregulated "skill game" machines. The association calls for aggressive enforcement actions against those who don't comply. It also calls on the government to educate consumers on legal gaming options and clarify that skill-based machine manufacturers must comply with anti-money laundering standards.
AGA is asking DOJ to crack down on illegal gambling websites. It's been four years since the Supreme Court ruling that invalidated the PASPA. Since then, 33 states and Washington, D.C., have authorized sports betting. However, it remains illegal in California, Florida and Texas. AGA claims illegal sites offer better odds and offer less regulation.
AGA wants DOJ to crack down on illegal gambling websites. Only a handful of states have laws that allow for legal online casino operations. Some illegal operators market to U.S. consumers unaware of which sites are legal. AGA also notes that some companies manufacture machines that resemble regulated gambling devices.
