Social media users are being warned about fraudulent advertisements claiming online casino gaming is available in Mississippi. These fake ads, appearing on platforms like X, Instagram, and Facebook, falsely promote an illegal gambling app using Beau Rivage Casino's identity.

The fraudulent posts offer welcome bonuses up to $1,000 and 100 free slot spins through a supposed "official Beau Rivage app." Both the Mississippi Gaming Commission (MGC) and Beau Rivage officials confirm these ads are completely false.

Important facts about gambling in Mississippi:

• Online casino gaming is not legal
• Mobile sports betting is only allowed within Beau Rivage property
• Only seven U.S. states permit online casinos
• The BetMGM Online Sportsbook app works exclusively on Beau Rivage grounds

The American Gaming Association (AGA) warns that illegal offshore gaming operators:

• Provide no consumer protections
• Don't guarantee fair gameplay
• May not honor bets or withdrawals
• Often operate from foreign jurisdictions like Anjouan, the Caribbean, Malta, and the Philippines

The AGA is actively urging the U.S. Justice Department to crack down on these illegal operations, which openly target American customers through paid advertising and create significant societal costs. Players are advised to only use regulated, legal gambling platforms to protect their personal and financial information.
