An award-winning game developer, 4ThePlayer.com, has obtained a full license for the online casino market of Michigan. The gaming license for the lucrative US market follows the provisional license obtained by the innovative iGaming provider in this state in October 2022. The expansion also marks the continuation of the supplier’s presence across the regulated US markets after the company’s recent New Jersey market entry found the path for the further adventures.
Fine-selected Titles:
The latest expansion will make the developer’s library of player-focused titles fully available in the busy online gaming market of Michigan after the company’s introduction to the state player community under the provisional license. It means that the player-favorite gems like 9k Yeti and 3 Secret Cities will now expand the player choice. With more innovative slots like 6 Wild Sharks yet to come by the end of 2023, the studio will offer a fine selection of top-performing titles tailored for the US market for a unique gaming experience.
US Expansion Strategy:
Commenting on the latest license approval, Chris Ash, Business Development Director, and co-founder of 4ThePlayer.com, said: “We are overjoyed to announce this latest achievement in our US market strategy. Michigan’s online casino market, one of the most successful in the country, presents an exciting landscape for us to share our unique and innovative games with a passionate audience.”
Ash added: ”We are also actively working on expanding our presence into additional states, underscoring our commitment to regulated markets in general. We invite all interested parties to meet us at G2E in Las Vegas for a deeper dive into our exciting plans for the coming year!”
Flourishing Market:
The Michigan’s online casino market reportedly demonstrates a great performance with the state’s 15 online casinos repeatedly reaching the monthly revenue of around $150 million in several months of 2023. The recent $150.6 million level reached marks an 18% increase over May 2022 and the fifth-highest monthly revenue ever for the Michigan’s online casino market. Such a situation creates an exciting environment for 4ThePlayer.com to expand its operations and obtain some more fuel for its thrilling journey across the States.
Platform Partner:
The license obtained for the state of Michigan will surely lubricate the provider’s gaming engine and facilitate a smooth ride. But the US platform Gaming Realms has been selected as the studio’s trusted US platform partner to bring more power to the developer’s engine and secure the safe guidance through the online gaming realms of the booming market of the US state of Michigan.
The legal status of online casinos in India is complex and varies by state. While there is no federal law that explicitly addresses online gambling, the legality depends on state regulations and the type of gambling involved.
Key Points:
-
No National Law: India does not have a specific national law regulating online casinos. However, the Public Gambling Act of 1867 prohibits operating physical casinos and gambling houses, but it doesn't cover online platforms, leaving a legal grey area for online gambling.
-
State-Specific Laws: Some Indian states, like Goa, Sikkim, and Daman, have legalized land-based casinos, and others, such as Sikkim, have also licensed online gambling. Many states have banned gambling altogether, including online gambling.
-
Online Sports Betting: Betting on sports, particularly cricket, is very popular in India. However, it's only explicitly legal in some states like Sikkim and Nagaland, which have laws permitting online gaming and betting.
-
Legal Gray Area: Many international online casinos accept Indian players and operate legally under licenses from offshore jurisdictions (like Curacao or the UK Gambling Commission). As long as players are gambling on licensed platforms, the risk is minimal, but local authorities may still choose to regulate or restrict online gambling.
-
Cryptocurrency: Some Indian players prefer using cryptocurrencies (like Bitcoin) for online gambling, as it provides a layer of anonymity and security.
While online casinos aren't explicitly legal across all of India, many international casinos accept Indian players, and online gambling continues to grow in popularity. Players should ensure they use licensed platforms and understand local laws before engaging in online gaming.
