State officials say they’ve moved against more unlicensed gambling operations accused of committing felonies for taking bets from Arizonans.
Cease and desist letters were recently sent to five companies and seven of their subsidiaries.
It is at least the third time since December that the Arizona Department of Gaming has moved against operators taking bets without a state gambling license.
The latest companies are accused of targeting Arizonans with online platforms offering casino games, sports betting and other forms of gambling.
The Gaming Department alleges the firms are laundering money, promoting illegal gambling and businesses.
Officials say many unlicensed online platforms are accessible in Arizona and pose a risk to consumers.
