Why Trust Gamblingindustrynews

In December 2019, Governor Gretchen Whitmer sign the ‘Lawful Sport Betting Act‘ alongside two bills that legalized daily fantasy sports (DFS) and online casino and poker in the state of Michigan. This was made possible by a 2018 Supreme Court ruling stating that the federal ban on sports betting as a result of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA) was unconstitutional.

The Michigan Gaming Control Board then began creating a regulatory framework that would allow the state’s commercial casinos along with all 23 tribal casinos launch their own sportsbooks.

The first sports bets were placed just three months later on March 11th, 2020 at the MGM Grand, MotorCity, and Greektown casinos in Detroit. However, it wasn’t until January 22nd, 2021 that the state’s first mobile sportsbooks launched.

Michigan is now a thriving sports betting market with many of the country’s largest online sports betting operators running mobile sportsbooks in the state through partnership agreements with casinos.

Which Legal Sportsbooks are Available in Michigan?

The first legal retail sports bets were placed in three Detroit Casinos in March 2020. The MGM Grand, Motorcity Casino, and Greektown Casino opened to much fanfare, but the excitement soon died down when casinos and businesses were forced to temporarily shut due to the global pandemic.

However, following a gradual reopening, all retail sportsbooks in the state are now open for business.

While state legislation allows for all commercial casinos alongside 23 tribal casinos to open retail sportsbooks, only 12 locations have launched to date.

The original goal was to launch mobile sports betting in Michigan some time in late November 2020. However, the issuing of licenses and the creation of the required regulatory procedures saw that launch date pushed back into the new year. As a result, Michigan mobile sports betting officially launched on January 22nd 2021.

Daily Fantasy Sports in Michigan

The expanded gambling bills that were signed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer in December 2019 included a bill that legalized Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) contests. This allowed the MGCB to issue temporary licenses to DFS operators who then started paying taxes in January of 2020.

All DFS operators must pay an 8.4% tax in adjusted revenues. This is the same tax rate payable by sports betting operators.

Michigan’s current list of licensed DFS operators includes:

DraftKings
FanDuel
Fantasy Football Players Championship
Fantasy Sports Shark
Yahoo Fantasy Sports
SportsHub Games Network
FullTime Fantasy Sports Network
Boom Shakalaka Inc.

According to the MGCB’s annual revenue report, 2020 saw operators report a combined adjusted gross revenue of $16,674,021.09 with $1,400,617.76 paid in taxes.

What About Online Poker in Michigan?

After many failed attempts, 2019 proved to be the year that online poker was finally approved by the state legislature. Bill HB4311 set out the legal framework for the creation of a regulated online casino industry. This was one of a number of expanded gambling bills signed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

However, it took almost a year for the first online poker providers to enter the market. That happened on January 29th 2021 when PokerStars became the first online poker platform to go live in Michigan. BetMGM followed shortly after and these are the only two licensed operators that currently provide poker in Michigan.
