15 Authorised Operators

Industry Context
Michigan remains one of the most mature regulated iGaming markets in the United States.
Continued online casino expansion contrasts with a sports betting market that remains more exposed to the seasonal calendar of major US sports.
However, year-on-year growth across both verticals during July demonstrates continued strength in the state’s digital gambling sector.
Next Steps or Impact
iGaming is expected to remain the principal growth driver for Michigan’s online gaming market.
Performance over the remainder of the year will determine whether the sector can surpass the annual record set in 2025.
For sports betting, the return of major US sporting competitions during the second half of the year could support a rebound in wagering volume following July’s decline.
