The Michigan Gaming Control Board has bought 100 more free Gamban licenses after residents quickly claimed most of the first batch.
Good to Know
Michigan residents now have another chance to access free device-level gambling blocking software through the Michigan Gaming Control Board. The agency expanded the program after demand came in faster than expected during the first two weeks.
Gamban blocks access to online casinos, sports betting sites, poker, slots, social casinos, crypto gambling, NFT wagering and offshore gambling websites. One license can cover unlimited household devices, and the software works across major operating systems.
The MGCB first partnered with Gamban in April and offered free licenses lasting from one to five years. The goal was simple: remove cost as a barrier for people who want help limiting gambling access online.
MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams said:
“The response from Michigan residents in the first two weeks of this program exceeded our expectations and speaks to a genuine need in our communities. We acted quickly to secure an additional 100 licenses so that no resident seeking this kind of support is turned away. Michigan is committed to ensuring that the expansion of legal gaming comes with the strongest possible safeguards for the people we serve.”
The extra licenses also fit into broader responsible gaming work in Michigan, one of the largest regulated iGaming markets in the U.S. The state already uses the Responsible Gaming Database for online self-exclusion, the Disassociated Persons List for Detroit casinos and the “Don’t Regret the Bet” awareness campaign.
Williams said:
“The strong response to this program tells us that residents want accessible, device-level support — and we intend to keep delivering it. These additional licenses mean more Michigan residents can take back control, free of charge.”
Residents can claim a free Gamban license through the state offer page, create a Gamban account, then install the software across personal devices. Live technical support is also available for anyone who needs help setting it up.
