That determination, assessed as probable and fragile because it rests on regulatory classification rather than statute, removes sweepstakes operators from the state's promotional-gaming framework and narrows the distribution channels through which such platforms can lawfully reach Michigan consumers. For an operator, the practical effect is that dual-currency and sweepstakes-style products can no longer rely on the promotional-gaming classification to distribute in Michigan and instead face treatment as unlicensed gambling, with the enforcement exposure that classification carries elsewhere in this cycle's findings.
