Casino Football Broadcast from ARIA Resort & Casino Highlights Offshore Betting Service Branding
Poker event at Aria Resort & Casino in Las Vegas raises concerns over advertising of an offshore gambling site
A recent poker video at the ARIA Resort & Casino has stirred concerns due to the visibility of the Monkey Tilt gambling site's logo. The event, which took place in April, saw the latter's emblem displayed on the felt during a PokerGO tournament. Reports confirmed that the CEO of the crypto platform, Sam Kiki, was present at the table.
The incident has drawn criticism from Richard Schuetz, a member of the California Gambling Control Commission, who expressed disapproval over the incident giving the impression that MGM endorses the unlicensed brand. Schuetz claimed that tolerating such advertising is inappropriate and contrary to Nevada's mission of regulated gaming.
It remains uncertain if Nevada's gambling regulators will respond with action regarding this issue. However, despite being an offshore gambling site, Monkey Tilt has garnered substantial investment, raising more than $50 million from venture capitalists.
According to reports, U.S. residents attempting to access the site are redirected to an inoperative website, further clouding the legality of the platform. Although there is no specific information regarding regulatory actions taken in response to this incident, the appearance of such a logo could potentially lead to further scrutiny or action by regulatory bodies.
