Michigan Online Sports Betting

Is Sports Betting in Michigan Legal?

Anyone over 21 can place a bet at licensed online and retail sportsbooks in Michigan. There is no legal requirement to be a state resident – as long as you are inside state lines.

The legal changes started with the Supreme Court overturning an act known as PASPA. For many years, that act banned sports betting at the Federal level. It was successfully challenged, with jurisdiction over betting returning to the states in 2018.

In December of 2019, 3 gambling expansion bills were signed. These include HB 4916, which covers Michigan sports betting. This set up a process for the Michigan Gaming Control Board to issue licenses. Each of the 26 Michigan casinos can apply for a license. This will allow them to open a retail sportsbook and offer online gambling too.

Here are some details from the bill:

• Sportsbooks will be taxed at 8.4%, with the commercial casinos also paying a 1.25% city tax.
• Licenses will cost $100,000
• The minimum age for legal betting is 21
• High school sports and events where the majority of participants are under 18 are excluded
• Sports leagues can request that Michigan sportsbooks use official data feeds. There is a clause that this needs to be on ‘commercially reasonable terms’.

Top Michigan Online Sportsbooks

Fanduel Sportsbook MI

FanDuel has become a household name in the sports industry during its decade-plus of operation, often linked to its success in daily fantasy sports. However, it also offers one of the most attractive sportsbooks out there.

On that note, FanDuel provides a large list of great betting options for the sports that it carries, which are many. It also has more than enough daily fantasy sports, with a variation of tournament types. It also has a payment method to cater to nearly everyone, with multiple deposit and withdrawal methods.

When you head to FanDuel’s website, you will have the option to choose either its daily fantasy sports section or its sportsbook. You have the luxury of going back and forth, but this requires a separate account on each to use both.

Stepping over to the sportsbook side, FanDuel has a great interface. Someone at FanDuel definitely had the customers in mind when designing this online sportsbook because the ease of navigation puts bets and everything you need right within reach.

You will have no problem finding betting opportunities. FanDuel has a variety of sports you can place wagers on. To increase your betting opportunities, you also have a large number of betting types to choose for each sport (moneylines, totals, parlays, etc.).

Now to the money side of things with deposit methods. FanDuel usually offers multiple options for its users. These range from credit and debit deposits to PayPal, online bank transfers and ACH (e-check).

As far as withdrawal methods, these options are a little less abundant. However, FanDuel still provides a variety: from ACH (e-check) to a check via USPS mail, FanDuel prepaid card and PayPal.

For bonuses and other promotions, it is best to check out the site often as these deals change from time to time. The most common deals, for example, have been daily odds boosts and deposit bonuses.

On the customer service side, FanDuel offers 24/7 responses in a few forms:

• Chat
• Email
• Phone

DraftKings Sportsbook MI

DraftKings has one of the most attractive sports betting apps among the available mobile betting options in the United States. It also has some of the most compelling offers for sports bettors, such as flash bets.

Flash bets are a newer live betting offering that allows users to place in-game bets between points in a particular matchup. DraftKings, depending on the area, typically has strong sign-up promotions and bonuses, in addition to odds boosts for games daily, parlay insurance and other ongoing features. DraftKings has a high-quality and functional app that provides a good sports bettor experience.

Although DraftKings’ app is user-friendly and reliably fast, it still has a great desktop website. The app has a fairly straightforward structure, making it easy to navigate, and the desktop version is roughly the same.

When it comes to payment methods at DraftKings, users can typically find plenty of options for deposits and withdrawals. Available deposit methods include your bank account, credit card or PayPal.

You will have cash in your account in a day or two after withdrawing, assuming no issues on either end of the process. DraftKings is a known brand that is a trusted and reliable sportsbook for registering and payment options. So you can sign up knowing you are in good hands with whatever you want to bet on the site.

DraftKings arguably is getting better each day for its guests. This is due to its increased market share across the US and the quality of incentives it offers.

FOX Bet Sportsbook MI

FOX Bet, as you may have guessed, is owned by the very same FOX Corp. that has broadcasting networks to provide coverage of sports all over the United States. FOX Bet’s online sportsbook is in the following states at the moment, with more to come: Colorado, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

In May 2019, FOX teamed up with The Stars Group (now part of Flutter Entertainment) to launch FOX Bet.

Looking at sports betting opportunities, FOX Bet has a wide variety of sports to wager on, and each sport has just about every option out there for a bettor.

If you are on your mobile device, you will find that the website will ask you to download the FOX Bet app if you do not have an account. If you are navigating on the desktop version, you can still make an account and download the app later. Both are excellent interfaces.

FOX Bet offers its customers a plethora of deposit options. These range from PayPal to online banking and the use of credit or debit cards. Another option available via FOX Bet’s partnerships is the PokerStars Play+ card.

Looking at withdrawal methods, you will see almost as many options. These range from PayPal to a land-based partner casino’s cage, and even sending it to your PokerStars Play+ card.

Some other unique features that you should check out that FOX Bet uses are its boosts and custom bets. Below are three options:

With Bet Boosts, it offers you attractive odds on select events every single day, allowing you the opportunity to win an even larger amount of money than you would have normally. You will also see FOX Sports personalities give out these boosts as a way to promote them for the day.

Super Boosts are available each week and provide an incentive for bettors to watch for them. This is because they can provide an even greater opportunity if you use them often.

For custom bets, you can tweet out your request for your homemade proposition bet. Simply use #CustomBet, and it might even be featured on the FOX Bet site.

PointsBet Sportsbook MI

PointsBet has a lot to like, as it attracts many new users. Even though the amount of content could overwhelm new customers, it has a lot of features in place to help new people out.

Users will see all standard types of traditional bets and player prop bets, as well as the bread and butter spreads, totals, moneylines and many other varieties.

PointsBet offers a vast selection of bets, and in addition to these bread and butter wagering options, it also has a feature called PointsBetting.

This potential game-changer, PointsBetting, is the main thing setting this sportsbook apart, since no other sportsbook offers this.

The PointsBetting process will have a spread, total or prop bet, and then change it into a variable type of bet, so to speak, that will last the duration of the event you are betting on. So, for this situation, odds will be boosted, and the more correct you are, the more money you win. However, the same applies to how wrong you are when you lose, so watch your bankroll.

Bettors will see that they have the opportunity to bet on a variety of sports. This means you can find international leagues, so bets will range from leagues like the NFL to overseas offerings like the Swedish Hockey League.

PointsBet regularly tries to update its odds and events, so as a result the customers are able to wager on certain seasonal events with the best odds available. Such events could include everything surrounding NBA All-Star weekend or the MLB Home Run Derby, for example.

PointsBet even has its own branded Mastercard as a payment method. It has other options of payment methods that users will be familiar with on their deposits and withdrawals.

The popular ones are ACH (e-check) or a debit/credit card. PayPal has been added and is a great option, as well.

PointsBet has an app for iOS and Android devices that functions quite well. The app itself is not the most attractive one out there, but it gets the job done. If you do not want to use it, you can always use the desktop version.

PointsBet offers a blog and a section dedicated to educating its users on a variety of topics. This includes safe betting practices, how-to videos and exploring the betting options on the site.

William Hill Sportsbook MI

William Hill, a company that originally is from the United Kingdom, has become a major player across the country for regulated sports betting and when it comes to Michigan that statement continues to ring true.

William Hill has different components to its online gambling offerings, including a mobile app as well as a desktop site, and thus they make it easy for gamblers across the state to access their platform.

As with many different sportsbooks, William Hill offers good bonuses for first-time users including large bonus first bets. While this may sound too good to be true, it works exactly as it seems and is a good offer to take advantage of if you have never opened an account at William Hill before.

There’s a variety of different deposit methods available including everything from VISA deposit to using services like PayPal. Among bookmakers, they are near the top for the wide offering of different payment methods that contributes to the smooth gambling experience at William Hill.

Gamblers should take note of the long history that William Hill has as an oddsmaker and trust in their systems and business to provide a strong service with no safety or other risks. They offer a wide variety of different sports to gamble upon which include all the major North American professional leagues among many others.

They also have a functioning live betting portion to their mobile app that allows for a seamless experience when attempting to gamble upon a contest that is occurring in real-time. This is great for those that are interested in live betting as attempting to live bet in-person is a clunky and inferior experience.

Overall, William Hill offers a smooth and safe gambling experience that many across Michigan are already taking advantage of.

Bet MGM Sportsbook MI

One of the most well-known and largest sportsbooks in America, Bet MGM has had a presence in Michigan for a long time and now they have expanded their sports offerings to service the people of the state.

Bet MGM lures customers in with great bonuses and they are worth taking advantage of if you have not already. Depending on when you join these can include bonus bets of varying sizes or matching your deposit.

The fun doesn’t end when you first sign-up as Bet MGM is known for continuing to offer customers different promotions that result in more profits. These often include bonus bets or odds boost on certain types of bets such as parlays.

Bet MGM has a robust online gambling system as they have developed a mobile app to go alongside their online website, both of which allow gamblers easy access to a wide variety of different offerings. These gambling offerings include all the major events that you would expect from an oddsmaker with a presence like Bet MGM and even expand into the world of live betting.

Bet MGM also offers other gambling options aside from their sportsbook such as poker and casino within the same online platform and app for those that are interested in those sorts of things.

They have a quick and easy withdrawal process that makes it easy to extract your winnings from the platform. The methods offered include all different types of payment processors including PayPal which is a quick and easy way for anyone not sure how they will accept money.

Sports Betting in Michigan: How Online Sportsbooks Work

There are two ways to access online sportsbooks. You can download an app on your smartphone (or iPhone) or tablet – or access them via a website.

You can access the websites and place bets via your mobile devices. These sites will recognize that your screen is small and adapt their navigation to fit. For the best experience on phones, downloading the apps is recommended.

For Apple devices, you can download the new Michigan sportsbook apps directly from the Apple App store. Android users need to do direct to the brands of the sportsbooks. Google won’t allow gambling apps (even completely legal ones) in their ‘Play’ store. It is quick and easy to get the apps from the website of the sportsbooks. Simply visit the sites with your Android phone or tablet and follow the prompts. You might need to click some messages warning you that you are downloading from an ‘unknown source’.

Apps include geo-location technology. This ensures that you are within MI state lines – a legal requirement. This means you’ll need to allow the sportsbooks to track your location in order to bet.

These contain all the cashier, account, bonus tracking and betting functions that you need to bet online.

Three Sections: Navigating Around Online Sportsbooks

Mich sports betting and apps share a core structure. While the designs and details of the navigation are different – there are 3 main sections, plus account and cashier areas in all of them.

Once you have a placed a couple of bets, getting around the apps will become a breeze. Below is an overview of the main areas of online sports betting sites:

• List of Sports: Most books will put the pro leagues at the top of their list, along with live (in-play) betting. This can be in text or icon format. You’ll find a full list either by scrolling, or via a separate link for the ‘A-Z’ listing.
• Matches and Bets: The main view shows the upcoming pro league matches in the sport you selected. Here you can choose filters and navigation options to narrow down your search. These include college and international matches. You’ll see the popular single match bet odds listed when you find your game. To list other wagers, click on the ‘more bets’ link. Bets can be added to your bet slip by clicking on them.
• Bet Slip: The final step in placing a bet is to manage your bet slip. You can safely add a lot of bets to this slip, removing those you don’t want, and setting the bet amount and confirming for those you do. Parlays, teasers and round-robins can also be set up on your bet slip.

The cashier area covers your deposits and withdrawals. You’ll be able to check your progress towards clearing any sportsbook bonuses, plus your personal information and history, via your account page.

Types of Bet You Can Place at Michigan Sportsbooks

You are able to bet on upcoming matches and place season-long bets in many different ways. This section covers the most popular bets. Individual sports have their own bets too.

Single match bets are the most popular. There are three lines highlighted when you first see a match in the online sportsbooks, these are the moneyline, point spread and totals bets.

The standard format for listing odds is in relation to a $100 bet. You can bet any amount you like. If you see a positive number, that is the return on a $100 bet. For example, +220 means you’d get $220 if you win, plus your stake back. Negative numbers show how much you’d need to bet to win $100. Favorites are listed with negative numbers. For example, odds of -200 mean you’d need to bet $200 to win $100 more (again, your stake is returned).

Here is how they work:

• Moneyline: You will see odds for each team to win. The underdog will have a positive line and the favorite a negative.
• Point Spread: Here the sportsbooks will add points to the underdog, aiming to make the match even. You can bet on either team, with the favorite having to beat the underdog by more than the points / goals listed.
• Totals: This involves betting on the sum of points or goals for both teams at the end of the match. You can take the under or over.

Bets on Multiple Matches

You can bet on more than one match in 3 different ways. These are parlays, teaser bets or round robins. Sportsbooks will often run promotions based on multi-team bets. These can boost odds for wins or return your stake if you lose by a single game.

Here is how the different multi-team bets work:

• Parlays: These bets can involve 2 or more teams. To win money, all of your selections need to win. The returns from match 1 will be staked on match 2 and so on. This is a popular way to turn a small stake into a big win.
• Teasers: Sometimes known as ‘alternative spreads’, this form of parlay gives you wide spreads on your matches. This reduces the chance of an upset, though the returns will not be as big as for a regular parlay.
• Round Robin: Here you ‘box’ your selections, with part of the stake going on each combination of matches. You’ll win most when every selection wins, paying out all the different multiples. If one selection loses, you will still get returns on the others.

Props, Period Betting and Futures Bets at MI Sportsbooks

There are many more bets available at both retail and mobile sportsbooks in Michigan. Prop bets vary widely by sport. These bets are on player performances or other factors which are not match results. Props can be entertaining, for example the exact length of the national anthem at the Super Bowl.

Period betting involves making separate bet on each half, quarter or other period in a match.

Futures bets are usually on season-long outcomes. This could be player of the year (or most points scored), or backing a team to make the play-offs, or even win the World Series / Super Bowl / Stanley Cup and so on.

Live (In-Play) Betting is Available Michigan

The best Michigan online sportsbooks unlock new ways to bet. The most popular of these is in-play betting. This involves placing bets on matches which are already underway. Feeds will keep the odds updated instantly as the on-field action changes. You can place many of the single-match bets and props covered above while you are watching a game.

Betting Markets: What Sports Can You Bet On?

There are very few restrictions in the Michigan sports betting bill when it comes to the type of sports you can wager on. High school sports, and games where most participants are under 18 are off-limits to the sportsbooks.

All the brands offer a huge range of markets on the major pro leagues, soccer, golf and boxing / MMA. The depth of coverage for international and niche sports does vary significantly between the brands.

Below is a run-down of the main sports and leagues covered by MI sportsbooks.

• Football: The NFL gets the lion’s share of the betting action, with the season kick-off the busiest time at sportsbooks around the country. You can also bet on college football at Michigan online sportsbooks.
• Basketball: Betting markets focus on the NBA, with the EuroLeague available at many books too. College basketball reaches fever pitch each spring, when March Madness happens.
• Baseball: The huge number of matches every season means you’ll never be short of a bet. MLB and minor leagues are covered. You can make season long bets on whether your team will make the play-offs or World Series.
• Hockey: You can bet on the NHL conferences and minor league action both sides of the border. Play-off time sees many different prop bets appear in addition to the usual single-match wagers.
• Soccer: This is an international market, with the English Premiership, Champions League and World Cup all featuring alongside MLS games. The possibility of drawn / tied games internationally makes the betting markets different from the major league sports.
• Golf: The majors are where the biggest betting action occurs, though there are tournaments taking place all year round. You can bet on the Masters, Ryder Cup, PGA and more.
• Combat Sports: Boxing and MMA are becoming popular betting markets, especially when the celebrity bouts come around.
• Tennis: Another sport which has a lot of tournaments around the world. Tennis comes to everyone’s attention when the US Open, Wimbledon and other ‘Majors’ take place.

Other popular sports you can bet on include Rugby, Cricket, Australian Rules Football, Cycling and Snooker.

Taking Advantage of Bonuses at Michigan Sportsbooks

With online gambling launched in Michigan, there is a lot of competition for your business. This makes it the perfect time to take advantage of the welcome bonuses and special promotions, to give your betting bankroll a welcome boost.

Offers to look out for include no-deposit bonus bets, matched welcome bonuses, no-lose first bets, boosted odds on major sporting fixtures and more. Regulated sportsbooks are fair with their bonuses – though it always pays to read the terms. Things to look out for include the length of time your bonus bets are valid for, how many times you need to wager your wins before your money can be withdrawn, and whether there are minimum / maximum odds.

Welcome bonuses are a great way to get started, though it is the loyalty rewards and promotions which will bring you the most benefits long-term.

Promotions can include insurance against losses in overtime, boosted odds on big games or bonus bets based on your action. You’ll also find mobile sportsbooks offer incentives for trying out their in-play betting services.

With online casinos and poker also available in Michigan, you will also find cross-over promotions on brands that offer this.

How to Deposit at Mobile Sportsbooks in Michigan

It is easy to find your mobile betting account – and easy to withdraw your wins too. You can choose to use your credit card in the same way you’d make any online purchase – or use one of the many alternatives listed below:

• Credit / Debit Card: The cards of most major banks will work for your sportsbook deposits.
• Branded Debit Card: Books including DraftKings have introduced their own branded debit card. You fund this via your regular card, then use it for both deposits and withdrawals.
• Bank Transfers using ACH: You might know this method as ‘eChecks’. If you get verified, it is a way of instantly depositing and easily withdrawing.
• Bill Pay: Sports betting accounts can be treated like utilities, paying at your bank will Bill Pay.
• Bank Wires: This traditional deposit option is slow, though many people prefer it for larger deposits
• PayPal: Electronic wallets like PayPal, Skill and Neteller are secure online accounts for secure purchases online.
• Cash: You’ll be able to make deposits at the cage of the casino associated with the sportsbook.
• PayNearMe: You can take cash to your local 7-Eleven store, along with a barcode from your sportsbook’s cashier.

Final Thoughts on Legal Sports Betting in Michigan

2020 saw sports betting go live in Michigan. This followed the signing of Bill 4916 in December 2019. Retail and online sports betting licenses are available to all the tribal and commercial casinos in the Great Lakes State.

These casinos have partnered with many of the biggest national and international sports betting brands. These include FOX Bet, DraftKings, FanDuel, William Hill and others. These partnerships will allow apps and website sportsbooks – and some will also include branded retail sportsbooks.

You are able to bet on the pro sports leagues and college action in a variety of ways including single match bets and parlays. With mobile sports betting, a new way of betting on matches which are already underway – in-play betting – is available in Michigan.

Michigan residents have a big choice of brands. You can take advantage of their welcome bonuses including no-deposit bonus bets and matched deposit bonuses to give your betting bankroll a great start. Promotions, odds boosts and loyalty schemes will then keep your bankroll topped up.
