Michigan Online Gambling 2020

Legal gambling has been offered in Michigan for decades. Casino gambling is legal within Detroit city limits, but there is a good mix of tribal casinos spread throughout the state.

Some major international chains like MGM have casinos in Michigan. All casinos are overseen by the Michigan Gaming Control Board.

Gamblers in Michigan can also bet legally on horse racing, and there are four registered racetracks in the state. Some charitable gaming and lotteries are also permitted. We are looking very much forward to seeing the further future development of online gambling in Michigan in 2020.

Sportsbooks

Sports betting in Michigan remains illegal in the state for now, but this does not look to be the case for long. While there is no pending legislation in the statehouse, it is on the way. An expansion gambling package was passed in 2019 but did not include online sports betting as lawmakers felt the issue will require its own legislation. By 2020 maybe?

Casinos

There are now over twenty casinos up and running in Michigan and that number only looks to grow. Many of them are Tribal Casinos, but there are also private casinos as well. Casino expansion has been going on a few decades in Michigan which has allowed other forms of gambling to follow suit. As mentioned, sports betting is right around the corner and there will be plenty of casinos to house the sportsbooks.

Online Poker

As is the case with most of the states in the U.S., the legality of online poker is a mixed bag. You can pay online poker freely. However, in most states, it is unregulated. This limits your online options to off-shore sites only as it is illegal to run an online poker site in the state.

Lotteries

The Michigan Lottery is a very popular product for the state. There are scratch-offs, drawings, inta-games, online games, promotions, and bonuses available 24/7. All the big-name lotto games are here such as Mega Millions and Powerball. Their website is also an option as it not only allows players all the information they may need but a few more gaming options as well.

Fantasy Sports

Daily fantasy sports betting is the new kid on the block and has had some problem breaking in with certain states. However, Michigan is not one of these states as DFS sites are fully able to operate in the state. Not only that, every DFS site is welcome so you will not have a problem finding a place to play DFS.

Horse Racing

Horse racing betting in Michigan is enjoying quite a resurgence as of late. There are more tracks opening, or re-opening, in the state in 2019. Not only can you play the ponies in person in Michigan, but you can also wager online at sites such as TwinSpires or BetAmerica.
