Inactive Sportsbooks
After online sports betting launched in Michigan in 2021, the market filled quickly with new sportsbooks. Over time, however, competition from a few dominant brands and an influx of local casinos, has made it difficult for smaller operators to survive long term, leading to several sportsbook exits in the state. We've included notes on those sportsbooks below for readers interested in Michigan’s betting market history.

Inactive Sportsbooks
The following sportsbooks are no longer active in Michigan. We kept them on our list so sports bettors have a complete guide to what has transpired in the Michigan online sports betting market.

TwinSpires
TwinSpires made its name in horse racing before launching its very own online sportsbook. TwinSpires was a solid sportsbook but is, unfortunately, shutting down sports betting and no longer accepting new players in Michigan. We recommend signing up with another book unless you exclusively want to bet on horse racing.

FOX Bet Michigan
FOX Bet was a venture started by FOX Sports and sporte betting company Flutter. After a few years in the US market a failure to attain a a sizeable market share led the partnership to end and FOX Bet to cease accepting wagers.

SI Sportsbook Michigan
A co-venture from 888Sport and Sports Illustrated, SI Sportsbook had a shortlived and uncsuccessful run before fully shutting down in 2024.

WynnBET Michigan
Once a solid sportsbook, WynnBET slowly closed its doors between 2023 and 2024.
Golden Nugget Online Sportsbook
For several years, the Golden Nugget brand operated a relatively weak online sportsbook across a handful of states. The company was eventually acquired by DraftKings, which proceeded to shut down Golden Nugget’s sportsbook operations in Michigan in 2024. Golden Nugget now offers only an online casino in the state.

Michigan Sports Betting

Yes. After PASPA was overturned in 2018, Michigan launched online sports betting in January, 2021.
You can register with any MI sportsbook online. Simply click on one of our claim buttons and fork over some details to complete the sign-up process. You will be required to provide the following:
- Full Name
- Address
- Phone Number
- Last 4 digits of Social Security Number
You do not need to be a resident of Michigan, but you do need to be physically located in the state to play on a MI sportsbook.
Like every state, the state of Michigan has an extensive vetting and approval process that all sportsbooks must go through before they are granted approval to operate in the state.
After launching, they are regulated by the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB).
There are many different criteria upon which one can judge a sportsbook. In our reviews, we make sure to highlight the following criteria:
- Bonus Offers - How valuable is the sign up bonus? Does this sportsbook offer promotions for existing customers or neglect you once your foot's in the door? This is an opportunity to get value, so thoroughly evaluating bonus and promotional offers are very important to determine the true value of a sportsbook.
- Betting Variety - Does a sportsbook offer advanced ways to play like Same Game Parlays? How is the live betting? Can you access an online casino from your sports betting account? A sportsbook must satisfy the needs of many different types of players to be considered elite
- Mobile Experience - How is the sportsbook's mobile app? Is it available on iPhone and Android? Most bets are placed via a mobile device these days, so this is a major element of any sportsbook's overall experience.
- Betting Experience - How does a sportsbook feel? Is the website or app laggy? Does it feel laggy, messy, or outdated? You want to make sure you'll actually have fun on a betting site, not frustrated by your time on the book.
- Payment Options - How many payment options are available? How long do payouts take? Are there minimum requirements for payments and withdrawals? If you want to be secure with your hard-earned money, then this is a crucial element of any sportsbook.
- Customer Support - If an issue arises, will you be able to easily get in contact with customer support? Is it hard to get in contact with an actual person? Hopefully, you won't need it but having a spare tire in your trunk never hurts.
