Arizona cracks down on illegal poki games with new public campaign

Arizona has launched its first-ever public education campaign to tackle unregulated 'poki games' and protect residents. The initiative, led by the Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG), includes tools to verify licensed 'google games' operators and access support for those at risk.

The campaign introduces a ‘Check Your Bet’ tool, allowing consumers to confirm whether a 'game' operator is licensed in the state. Public service announcements will also run on television, radio, and digital platforms, with messages available in both English and Spanish.

The new campaign provides clear resources for verifying legal 'games' operators and seeking help. With enforcement actions already underway, the ADG continues to monitor and address illegal 'game' activity across Arizona. Residents are encouraged to use the ‘Check Your Bet’ tool before engaging with any 'poki games' platform.
