Sports betting set to go live in Michigan

The Michigan Gaming Control Board has given the green light for Detroit’s three casinos to being accepting sports wagers.

US.- Legal sports betting has arrived in Michigan after The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MCGB) gave Detroit’s three commercial casinos the green light to accept Michigan’s first sports bets.

TheMCGB said that MGM Grand Detroit, MotorCity Casino and Penn National’s GreekTown Casino had met “all preliminary requirements to go live” with retail sports wagering.

MotorCity’s sportsbook is set to be operated by FanDuel, while MGM’s Roar Digital joint venture with GVC will run the sportsbook at the MGM Grand. Penn National Gaming’s own Kambi-powered sportsbook will be launched at Greektown.

The launch comes just 11 weeks after governor Gretchen Whitmer signed Michigan’s sports betting bill into law.

“This new gaming opportunity has been highly anticipated, and we hope citizens will enjoy it and see benefits from additional revenue to both the state of Michigan and the city of Detroit,” MGCB executive director Richard S. Kalm said when announcing the launch earlier this week.
