List of all Michigan online gambling sites
There are 15 online gambling licenses in Michigan, which were given to the three Detroit casinos and 12 tribes around the state that run physical casinos. Each of them has an online partnership or its own brand to provide online gaming. So, while they might not carry the same name (Bay Mills and DraftKings, for example), they are connected.

At present, Michigan doesn’t have plans to increase its number of online gambling licenses, but the US online gambling market is constantly changing. That means that new partners might step in where a small operator bows out of the market. This happens regularly and we will always report on these changes as they happen.
Types of online gambling in Michigan
Michigan is a leader in online gambling across all markets. It was an early adopter of both online sports betting and online casinos, and it is one of a few states that shares pools across state lines for online poker. Here is the full menu of options for online gambling in Michigan.
Online Sports Betting
Michigan online sports betting is in its fourth year, and the state currently features 12 sportsbook apps. Michigan sports bettors can bet on dozens of sports, including many options for wagering on props and futures and live betting. Over the history of Michigan online sports betting, more than $15.6 billion has been wagered on sports in the state, creating over $1.35 billion in revenue.
Online Poker
PokerStars, BetMGM and WSOP Michigan are all available in the state, giving card players access to a range of online cash games and tournaments. As well, DraftKings Casino just launched its Electric Poker product. We also expect BetRivers Poker to launch in Michigan very soon. Interstate poker is available through both PokerStars and WSOP.
Michigan Lottery
Michigan offers a rather expansive set of games for online lottery. Players can choose from three types of games — draw games, instant-win games and keno — through the Michigan Lottery mobile app. Draw games include the popular multi-state drawings Mega Millions and Powerball, the now-daily Lucky for Life game, as well as the in-state MI Lotto 47.
Daily Fantasy Sports
Daily fantasy sports fans in Michigan have access to hundreds of contests every week on all major sports and many novelty events. Popular options include DraftKings Fantasy Millionaire contests as well as special events such as March Madness, the World Cup, and even the Oscars, eSports, and nationwide weather forecasts.
Casinos And Gambling
Michigan is home to 26 physical casinos — three commercial ones in Detroit and 23 tribal casinos throughout the state. All 15 MI casino operators have online gaming licenses and offer mobile apps in addition to their land-based gambling offerings. Many of the state’s casinos also have retail sportsbooks.
Resources on Michigan Gambling
The process for registering for an online casino, sportsbook or online poker account is quite easy and takes just a few minutes.
The procedure begins with a simple click or press of a button. Online gambling sites tend to denote these buttons with phrases such as “Register,” “Sign up” or “Play Now.”
The button will lead you to a screen where you’ll be asked to fill out some personal information, including your name, phone number, email address, date of birth and Social Security number. These are intended to verify your identity. Your information is safe and secure on sites approved and regulated by the MGCB.
Once you have an account, you can make a deposit using one of several approved options, and then you’re ready to play your game of choice.
Before you stuff those slot winnings in your mattress or splurge on a new toy, just know the government is entitled to a piece. In the state of Michigan, you are required by the letter of the law to report any and all gambling winnings, even the smallest of wins. The government considers those wins as taxable income, at tax rates of 25% for federal, and another 4.25% for the state.
Depending on the game you’re playing, a win above a certain dollar amount will trigger the casino to automatically file a W-2G tax form with the IRS on your behalf. If you are fortunate to win $5,000 or more, the casino is also required to automatically withhold the fed’s cut of 25%. In both cases, you still need to report the income on your tax return.
For more on IRS reporting thresholds, and how to report gambling winnings or losses on your tax forms, visit our comprehensive tax page.
Gambling is designed to be a source of entertainment and fun. Michigan is serious, though, about compulsive and problem gambling. The Michigan Gaming Control Board keeps a list of problem gambling resources online. Here are some of the Michigan responsible gambling resources to be aware of:
- You can voluntarily make a lifetime commitment never to visit a Detroit casino. To request a permanent ban from Detroit casinos, call 1-888-223-3044 or fill out an application online.
- The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) maintains a 24-hour, toll-free helpline for problem gamblers through the Michigan Association on Problem Gambling at 1-800-270-7117.
- The MDHHS funds a statewide Health Management Systems of America Gambling Treatment Program for compulsive gambling individuals or groups and their families.
- Gamblers Anonymous offers local support groups, gambling literature and other resources. Use the group’s website to find a meeting in Michigan.
- NFCC.org is the website of the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. This nonprofit organization can be of assistance if gambling has created financial hardship for you or your loved ones.
- The Gam-Anon organization is specifically for family members and friends of compulsive gamblers.
- The National Center for Responsible Gaming helps individuals and families by supporting research and improving prevention, diagnosis, intervention, treatment and public awareness strategies. The National Council on Problem Gambling also offers information on problem and compulsive gambling.
