Absolutely. All Michigan online operators need to be licensed and regulated by the state.  Specifically, they need to comply with the state’s regulatory body overseeing gambling activities. All reputable online casinos, sportsbooks, and poker sites are required to ensure the maximum security level when it comes to their customers’ transactions. These state requirements will help prevent identity theft, bank fraud, and any other issues. On the other hand, off-shore gaming companies operate under no jurisdiction, and can do with your money as they please. Depositing and playing with them is not a sound choice.
