The Michigan Gaming Control Board has approved Soaring Eagle Gaming’s move to White Hat Gaming for its online casino and sports betting platform, replacing GAN as the provider.
The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, which operates Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant, was authorized to start offering online play on the new platform Tuesday, CDC Gaming Reports reported. The board announced the provider change Thursday.
The regulator approved both the White Hat Gaming platform and the tribe’s branding submission. The tribe supplied a signed agreement with White Hat Gaming, and the board approved all suppliers and vendors essential to the launch.
“This approval reflects the MGCB’s careful review to ensure every platform serving Michigan players meets our standards for integrity, security, and consumer protection,”
Under the board’s requirements, Soaring Eagle Gaming and White Hat Gaming may offer only approved internet games and authorized sports betting events and wager types. They must also use board-approved suppliers, vendors, and cashiering and depositing locations.
The companies must follow approved internal controls, account terms and conditions, and platform change-control processes. They must also submit required taxes, payments and fees on time under Michigan’s Lawful Internet Gaming Act and Lawful Sports Betting Act.
The board also requires compliance with applicable laws, regulations and its directives, including the full adoption of approved amendments to internal controls.
