    How we evaluate & rate Michigan betting apps

    If you are new to online sports betting, selecting the right app can be intimidating. We here at Covers want you to focus on the following categories to determine the best-in-class Michigan sports betting apps and where to place your trust for a fun gambling experience.

    Bonuses and promotions icon Welcome bonuses and promotions

    First-time Michigan sports bettors will want to carefully consider each of the welcome bonuses available to them. Avoid tunnel vision; some welcome bonuses available at the best betting app Michigan offers in 2025 are more lucrative than others but may carry stricter wagering requirements.

    Ongoing promotions within the sports betting app may be a primary reason to stick around and create loyalty with a particular brand, especially if they offer rewards points that convert into cash and exclusive experiences.


    Mobile phone icon User experience

    So much competition in the sports betting app market exists today, making the user experience more crucial than ever. The ability to navigate the app seamlessly from sign-up to cash out and load markets quickly are paramount. 


    Betting options icon Variety of bet types

    If you’ve followed the Detroit Pistons in recent years, it can become arduous to wager on baseball. To be considered among the best Michigan sports betting apps, operators must have a buffet of betting markets and bet types to choose from in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and other exotic sports around the globe. Live in-game betting is all the rage for those who venture beyond pre-game moneylines and point spreads.


    Banking icon Banking options

    Sports betting apps Michigan bettors can access must offer a variety of deposit and withdrawal options. While most operators accept deposits by credit card, it is becoming more common for them to take Paypal, bank wires, and a variety of e-wallet transfers. When it comes time to withdraw funds, request minimums are something to evaluate. The best apps allow you to request a payout of as little as $10 — an ideal customer service experience. 


    Payout speed icon Payout speed

    Picture this: When the Michigan Wolverines won the 2024 National Championship, and you hit a huge payday because of their efforts. The last thing you want is a long delay between the Natty and receiving your funds. The best sports betting apps process payouts in 48 hours or less and transfer money back to you in as little as one business day.


    Security icon Security 

    When you submit your personal and financial data over the internet, a best sports betting app Michigan bettors can use must offer the best encryption software. Regulators closely monitor each sports betting app operator to ensure security protocols are up to snuff and follow fair play guidelines.


    Customer support icon Customer support

    The customer support team is integral to the top betting apps Michigan bettors can use. Feel free to contact them if you need clarification on a bonus or are waiting for a withdrawal. While FAQ, phone, and email support are helpful, live chat — ideally 24/7 — is our preferred method.

    Latest Michigan sports betting news

    Who can use Michigan sportsbooks?

    You must be at least 21 years old to bet on sports in Michigan or place a wager at a state-licensed casino.

    Additionally, you’ll have your identity verified by online Michigan sportsbooks — using software approved by regulators — when not betting in person.

    21plus Legal age

    Persons aged 21 years and older can bet on sports in Michigan. This applies to individuals who are placing wagers online or in person at a licensed casino. Certain tribal casinos may permit bettors 18 or 19 years of age to wager.

    21plus Mobile betting

    In Michigan, you can legally place a wager via a mobile phone, tablet, or desktop computer. The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) regulates all online and commercial gambling, while the National Indian Gaming Commission oversees tribal casinos in Michigan.

    21plus Remote registration

    Michigan online sports betting can be done without having to step foot in a casino. From registration and identity verification to adding funds and placing a wager, full remote registration is allowed in Michigan.

    globe Within state borders

    When gambling on sports, all players must be physically present in the state. While bettors are not required to be MI residents, Michigan betting sites are required to verify that they are within state lines when attempting to add funds or place a wager.

    bank Retail sportsbooks

    Retail sportsbook betting is offered at 22 of Michigan’s 26 casinos — most of which contain sportsbook lounges. Some locations are limited to self-service betting kiosks.

    percent Taxable winnings

    Michigan now allows individuals to claim a state income tax deduction for gambling losses claimed on their federal tax return. Gov. Gretchen Whitmer enacted the law effective for the 2021 tax year and beyond.

    Sports bet winnings are taxed as income, both at the federal and state level. Players are required to fork over 25% of all winnings to the Internal Revenue Services (IRS) for wins both small and large. Michigan law requires you to pay an additional 4.25 in state tax%.

    Covers Expert Analysis
    "It's important to note that reporting gambling winnings up to $5,000 is your responsibility. You can claim casino and sports gambling losses on your tax forms, however, you cannot claim losses in excess of any claimed winnings. "

    How to start betting in Michigan

    Follow the steps below to start online sports betting in Michigan in minutes:

    1

    Select a sportsbook

    Check out our sportsbook reviews and choose the Michigan betting sites that best fit your needs. Consider betting opportunities, promotions, customer service, and ease of financial transactions.

    2

    Register online

    Registration should be completed in a matter of minutes. Simply enter your personal information and payment details to get underway.

    3

    Claim a bonus

    New players are often prompted to enter a promo code before wrapping up the registration process to secure a welcome bonus. Here are the most popular types of offers:

    • Second chance bets: Here, you can place your first wager with a safety net — up to a predetermined amount. If you lose, MI sportsbooks will refund the amount in the form of site credits or cash.
    • Deposit match: Some Michigan sports betting sites will match your initial deposit — again, up to a predetermined amount. Play-through requirements are typically attached to this type of offer.
    • No deposit bonus: This type of offer provides new bettors with a small site credit upon sign-up.
    4

    Choose your bet

    Use your funds on the most popular bets in Michigan, including live markets, allowing you to turn a game's changing momentum into profits. 

    5

    Deposit

    You will likely be redirected to the sportsbook’s banking section or cashier following the initial sign-up to add funds to your account. Once there, choose from the best sportsbook deposit and withdrawal methods.

    6

    Start betting

    We advise researching the games and events prior to placing any wagers, including understanding the game’s participants and also searching for the best lines available at legal Michigan sportsbooks.

    7

    Withdraw

    Securing your winnings in a timely manner is key to legal online sports betting. Keep in mind that processing and withdrawal times differ depending on the sportsbook and its policies.

    Odds explained

    Michigan sportsbooks display American odds. The default for futures odds and props also use moneyline odds instead of fractions or decimal points.

    In this scenario, favorites are identified by a minus (-) sign and reference the amount you have to bet in order to win $100. In this example, -150 odds indicate that you would be required to wager $150 to claim a $100 profit. Underdogs are accompanied by a plus (+) sign and indicate the amount you’ll win if you bet $100. For example, +200 odds indicate you’d take home $200 in profit when placing a wager of $100. Underdogs are less likely to win, and the larger payout reflects this situation.

    Some Michigan sportsbook apps allow players to change how the odds are presented in order to make the information easier to understand. Our odds converter allows you to switch between American, decimal, and fractions.

    What you can't bet on in Michigan

    Almost anything goes in Michigan. However, Michigan sports betting laws do specify that no bets can be made involving minors. Therefore, high school sports are off the table.

    Covers miss icon

    Politics

    The Michigan Gaming Control Board does not allow Michigan sportsbooks to offer betting lines on politics, including U.S. presidential elections. Any political betting sites operating in Michigan should be avoided.

    Covers miss icon

    esports

    The MGCB has not authorized esports betting at state-licensed casinos or Michigan sports betting sites. Currently, Little River Casino Resort — a tribal casino — is the only sportsbook reportedly offering to bet on esports.

    What about college sports?

    College athletics are fair game in Michigan. Bettors can freely place wagers on college football games, whether they support Michigan or Michigan State, and any other local collegiate sports and programs. 

    What about the NFL Draft?

    The always entertaining — and often intriguing — NFL Draft has turned into a significant betting event. Betting for the first round, typically held on a Thursday night, ends at midnight on Wednesday. Bets for the second and third rounds (held Friday) end Thursday night while wagering for rounds four through seven (Saturday) ends on Friday night. Check out our guide for how to bet on the NFL Draft in 2025. 

    Michigan sports betting handle

    Shortly after retail sports betting was given the green light in Michigan, the coronavirus pandemic caused sports leagues across the globe to shut down. Despite the limitations, Michigan sports betting has become a billion-dollar industry.

    The Michigan Gaming Control Board released figures for August 2022, which showed the state's retail sportsbook outlets and online sports betting sites took in more than $229 million in bets, up 2% from July. In November 2024, Michigan saw a monthly handle high of over $670 million.

    This table shows the monetary breakdown of sports betting revenues across Michigan:

    Michigan State University

    A historic collegiate program joined forces with an iconic name in sports gambling when Caesars Sportsbook was named the official and exclusive sports betting partner of Michigan State University Athletics. 

    The partnership includes naming rights to a new premium seating section within Spartan Stadium and provides MSU supporters with unique mobile sports betting promotional offers and access to responsible student-athlete gaming education. 


    Detroit Red Wings

    The Detroit Red Wings had a busy 2021, as they forged relationships with FanDuel to become the team's official sports betting partner and gaming partner, respectively. FanDuel receives increased brand exposure within the arena's MotorCity Casino Club, where fans can enjoy exclusive offers and promotions. 


    Detroit Pistons

    The Detroit Pistons have established multi-year partnerships with each of the following sportsbooks since 2020 — FanDuel and BetRivers.

    Like the iconic '04 team, the Pistons' relationships with online sportsbooks work together to provide fans with a championship-level experience.


    Detroit Lions

    The Detroit Lions announced a partnership with BetMGM to become the team's first official sports betting partner in 2020. 


    Detroit Tigers

    The Detroit Tigers hit a triple when establishing great business relationships, as BetMGM, and FanDuel are all multi-year gaming partners with the AL Central team. 

    The three sportsbooks work with Michigan’s lone Major League Baseball team to enhance the fan experience within Comerica Park and beyond.

    Betting insights into Michigan sports teams in October 2025

    All eyes in Michigan are locked on the Detroit Tigers, who are currently among the MLB leaders in wins so far this season. Backed by a stellar starting pitcher and an explosive lineup, the Tigers sit comfortably atop the American League Central. At this time, Detroit has the second-shortest odds — +700 — to win the 2025 World Series. 

    Michigan sports betting law

    Michigan online sports betting became a reality on Jan. 22, 2021, when the first legal online sportsbooks went live in the Wolverine State. Here's a brief overview of Michigan's sports betting legal landscape in 2025:

    • The Michigan Gaming Control Board regulates all online and retail sports betting in Michigan.

    • You must be at least 21 years old to bet on sports in Michigan.

    • There are 11 legal Michigan sports betting sites accepting wagers in 2025.

    • Retail and online sports betting operators are taxed at 8.4% of "adjusted gross sports betting receipts."

    • Betting on politics, esports, or amateur athletes under the age of 18 is illegal in Michigan.

    • College sports betting (in-state included) is permitted.

    Michigan sports betting market outlook

    The Michigan sports betting market is maturing, but monthly betting revenues and handles reached new highs in 2024, earning a total handle of $5.51 billion— an encouraging sign for all parties involved. Given that there are 31 total legal sportsbooks between online and in-person operators currently, it seems unlikely that Michigan will accept any new operators going live in the state anytime soon. However, due to its large population of over 10 million people, it wouldn't surprise us if they were to open either their digital or retail doors to new sportsbooks. 

    Michigan has been reluctant to accept daily fantasy sports and social betting sites, though. As the state's legislative committee ruled in 2023 to ban sports betting-like contests, major companies like ProphetX were not allowed to operate in the Wolverine State. 

    Other legal betting options

    Michigan is home to over two dozen casinos, one horse track, and a number of live and online poker rooms. Daily fantasy sports (DFS) contests were also legalized with the Lawful Internet Gaming Act of 2019.

    casino Casino

    Three Michigan casinos are located in Detroit, while 23 tribal casinos are found throughout the state. There are 13 real money online casinos operating legally in Michigan.

    Gamblers will find a wide variety of casino games when visiting one of the many brick-and-mortar or Michigan online casinos in the state. Hundreds of table games are available, including classics like blackjack, roulette, three-card poker, and craps.

    You’ll also find over 31,000 slot machines in Michigan. From standard reel games to progressive jackpot and 3D slot machines, options are plentiful.
