Platform operators must complete additional regulatory requirements prior to launch, including independent testing of platforms and games and MGCB approval of internal controls to ensure game integration, as well as obtain work permits for specific employees.
"The ability of the platform provider to meet the requirements of the law and rules determines who can first get the release authorization," Kalm said.
Since mid-May, MGCB has received applications, delivered licensing requirements, and reviewed internal controls and branding submissions from potential operators, platform providers, vendors and vendors operating gaming technology.
The agency allowed operators and platform providers to roll out apps in various app stores prior to launch. Michigan residents can download the app and create an account, but they can't make a bet until it's approved to launch.
