Michigan Gaming Control Board Acquires Additional Gamban Licenses For Residents

(AsiaGameHub) –   This acquisition comes in response to the exceptional demand for the gambling-blocking software that has existed since it was rolled out in April.

United States – The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has revealed it has purchased an additional 100 complimentary Gamban licenses for Michigan residents. The regulatory body stated that this acquisition follows overwhelming demand for the gambling-blocking software since its launch in April.

Over 80 of the initial 100 licenses were claimed within the first two weeks, according to the MGCB. The board suggested this signals residents are seeking practical tools to help manage or cut off their access to online gambling.

Gamban is a gambling-blocking software that restricts access to gambling websites and applications across all major devices and platforms. The software is designed to be highly resistant to uninstallation, and one license covers unlimited household devices.

Under the MGCB’s agreement with Gamban, licenses ranging from one to five years are offered at no cost. There is no requirement to be enrolled in a self-exclusion program, but those already on the Responsible Gaming Database or Disassociated Persons List are encouraged to take advantage of this extra layer of protection.

MGCB executive director Henry Williams said: “The response from Michigan residents in the first two weeks of this program exceeded our expectations and points to a genuine need in our communities. We acted quickly to secure an additional 100 licenses so that no resident seeking this kind of support is turned away. Michigan is committed to ensuring the expansion of legal gaming is accompanied by the strongest possible safeguards for the people we serve.”

“The strong response to this program tells us residents want accessible, device-level support — and we intend to keep delivering it. These additional licenses mean more Michigan residents can take back control, free of charge.”
