Microgaming internet casinos: List of restricted US states

Over the past few days we have received an increased number of requests to post the list of the U.S. states restricted by the Microgaming internet casinos. Players often visit the online casinos powered by Microgaming only to sign up and find out that residents from their state are not allowed to gamble at the casino. The fact that most Microgaming casinos have failed to warn visitors of their websites only adds to the aggravation online gamblers must be feeling. Here is the list of the eleven states whose residents are not allowed to play at the Microgaming internet casinos, organized alphabetically: Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin.

If you are resident of any of the states above, no Microgaming online casino will let you open a real account (although free-play accounts are still an option). If you do not live in any of the 11 states banned by the software developer, you are on the clear. Even at this point the intentions behind the restriction of certain US states, forced on the Microgaming internet casinos, remain unknown. The company failed to address the issue or come out with a clear stance on why some states were banned by its licensees. See the links below for good Microgaming casinos.
