DraftKings launched on May 1, 2020 with mobile apps for Android and iOS.
BetMGM Sportsbook became a high-profile player in Michigan online sports betting as the official sports betting partner of the Detroit Lions. But the global brand was already well-established in the state with MGM Grand Detroit casino.
Now BetMGM in Michigan can take the casino with them everywhere within state lines.
With mobile and online sports betting launched in Michigan on Jan. 22, the BetMGM app is likely to become a popular destination for sports bettors no matter where they are in the state. The company’s partnership with the Lions figures to signal scores of promotions and prize opportunities during the NFL season.

Geo-location software in your phone or computer will make sure that you’re within state borders and legally able to proceed. Persons who work in a few certain professions are not allowed to make wagers, most notably those who could affect the outcome of sporting events such as referees, coaches or players. Certain employees of the gaming industry are also barred.

Check with BetMGM for specific “cash out” rules that apply to different games and leagues.
The “log-in” and registration buttons are located in the upper right corner, as with most online sports, with a menu of major sports betting markets conveniently just below in a horizontal banner.
Some timely parlays and bet boosters are high-lighted just below, with the design then ceding to the typical layout of live markets centered in the screen.
Bettable markets are also tabbed down the left margin and you can find your bets in the “Bet Slip” section on the right side of the screen.
Every major professional sports league – most importantly NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL – has a franchise based in Michigan and Michigan State compete in the storied Big Ten conference. Other smaller, but popular universities abound as cheering, and now, betting options.
Michigan’s pro sports royalty is the Detroit Red Wings, with 11 Stanley Cup championships in the National Hockey League team.
In the National Basketball Association, the Detroit Pistons are three-time champions.

Detroit Lions interest remains high as the frustration for a team that continues to rebuild.
Futures wagers available at BetMGM are all about long-range predictions on the outcome of league championships, player awards or sundry performance targets.
Think Matthew Stafford will lead the league in passing next year? Then futures wagers are a great avenue to give sports betting a try.
How about the league MVP or which college star will be the top draft pick in the NBA draft? Bettors can make wagers on these markets before the season even begins or as it’s underway (the odds are better for you the earlier you bet) and then wait to see how they pan out. It’s getting paid for seeing something before anyone else.
