Ohio is the latest state to shut down offshore operator Bovada

Harp Media, which runs Bovada, one of the largest offshore sportsbooks and online casino platforms available to United States bettors, appears to be complying with a cease-and-desist order issued by the Ohio Casino Control Commission earlier this month.

The OCCC confirmed it sent a letter to the Curaçao-based gaming company on Aug. 6, informing Harp Media that such wagering through Bovada was illegal and in violation of state laws. It gave Bovada until Aug. 16 to notify the commission in writing that it was complying with the cease-and-desist order.

In its FAQ section, the Curaçao-based gaming platform has Ohio among a list of states where it no longer conducts business.
