Michigan Gaming Control Board, Hearing Room  
3062 W. Grand Blvd., Suite L-700, Detroit, Michigan  
The Department of Treasury will hold a public hearing to receive public comments on proposed changes  
to the Internet Gaming Rules rule set.  
The proposed amendments will:  
(1) Clarify the vendor requirements and the vendor registration process contained in rule 629, Mich  
Admin Code R 432.629, consistent with the Lawful Internet Gaming Act, MCL 432.301 – 332. Currently,  
the provisions governing vendor requirements and registration are all in rule 629. The proposed  
amendments will keep vendor requirements in rule 629 and will move vendor registration to newly added  
rule 629a.  
(2) Amend part of the responsible gaming requirement imposed in rule 654(a), Mich Admin Code R  
432.654(a). Currently this section requires internet gaming operators and internet gaming platform  
providers to prominently display a specific Michigan gambling helpline on their websites. The proposed  
amendment to Rule 654(a) changes this to a more generic requirement for operators and platform  
providers to provide a toll-free compulsive gambling helpline.  
By authority conferred on the Michigan gaming control board by sections 10(c) & 10(g) of the Lawful  
Internet Gaming Act, which provides the board with authority to promulgate any rules necessary and  
proper to govern internet gaming, including requirements to ensure responsible gaming, and  
requirements for vendors and vendor registration. MCL 432.310(c) & (g).  
The proposed rules will take effect immediately after filing with the Secretary of State. The proposed  
rules are published on the State of Michigan's website at www.michigan.gov/ARD and in the 7/1/2024  
issue of the Michigan Register. Copies of these proposed rules may also be obtained by mail or  
electronic mail at the following email address: Mckeownj4@michigan.gov.  
Comments on these proposed rules may be made at the hearing, by mail, or by electronic mail at the  
following addresses until 7/11/2024 at 05:00PM.
