In August, the department also ordered Fliff Online Gambling, Thrillzz Mobile Gambling, BettySweeps Casino, and Pulsz Casino to stop offering gambling services in the state, alleging they were providing access to illegal online gambling platforms, including sweepstakes-style casino products and sports wagering.
