Finally, Michigan launches its sports betting market. After many delays and challenges, the state now has mobile sports betting, effective Friday. Its been more than a year since Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed various gaming bills. There was no specific launch date, after all. As long as operators would comply with their requirements, they could go live. Initially, the plan was to launch back in November 2020. But with countless delays and problems, the date is moved to 2021.
Many sportsbook pay per head providers are optimistic about the Midwest, especially with Michigan. Michigan will be offering a wider variety of gambling options if you compare it with the state’s neighbors. If Iowa is enjoying a good profit margin with an online only, sports betting only market, then Michigan stands to earn more.

Michigan will allow not only sports betting through online and mobile platforms, but online casino games as well. There are around 9 operators who can now start offering online gambling and sports betting. This is also good timing for the state. The NFL is in its postseason already.

Many pay per head sportsbooks are already taking in a lot of money from wagers on the NFL. Michigan’s launch is, in fact, just in time for Championship Sunday, one of the most exciting games for the league. Michigan bettors can now bet on the conference title games this weekend. Of course, it goes without saying that sportsbooks in Michigan now have enough time to collect wagers on the Super Bowl.
