!Warning! FAKE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS

The Ho-Chunk Nation Gaming Commission has become aware of unauthorized and fraudulent advertisements on various social media platforms. These ads falsely claim that Ho-Chunk Gaming is officially available online and often include monetary sign-up bonuses. Additionally, these ads frequently and unlawfully incorporate the Ho-Chunk Gaming logo and other protected intellectual property, enabling the imposters to redirect users to illegal sites and/or mobile gaming applications.

The Ho-Chunk Nation Gaming Commission strongly encourages all gaming guests, employees, and members of the public to refrain from engaging with or responding to these fraudulent advertisements.
