Following April's numbers release, Michigan online sports betting is seeing a steady decline in wagers for 2023 when compared to 2022.
In the first month with sports betting legal in neighboring Ohio, Michigan had $490.9 million in sports betting handle during January 2023.
The launch of Ohio sports betting generated over $1 billion bets, while neighboring states, including Michigan, saw handle dip.
February brought the largest year-over-year handle decrease in Michigan sports betting's 3-year existence, dropping 15.7% from a year ago.
BetMGM Michigan Sportsbook saw a large monthly handle drop in February, but that's mostly because January was stronger than expected.
