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
