Legal online poker is now live in Michigan.
The Michigan Gaming Control Board announced Friday that it authorized Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians and platform providers PokerStars for online gaming and FoxBet for online sports betting to launch at 11 a.m.
PokerStars is the first operator in Michigan to offer peer-to-peer poker games online, MGCB executive director Richard Kalm said. Michiganders are only permitted to play against others within state lines, although interstate play is expected to be approved later this year, according to the MGCB.
Michigan is the fifth state to allow real money poker games.
FoxBet is the 11th online sportsbook approved in Michigan after 10 launched Jan. 22. Meanwhile, there are now 10 authorized online casinos after the MGCB approved PokerStars and Barstool’s online casino Friday. Barstool’s sportsbook launched last Friday.
FoxBet is offering a free $100 in site credit after making a first deposit (minimum $10).
“The key differentiators for us have always been our valued partnership with the FOX Corporation and the strength of our industry leading FOX Bet Super 6 product combined with the PokerStars business, and we plan to lean into these unique assets as we launch in Michigan,” FOX Bet CEO Kip Levin said in a release. “Behind FOX Bet Sportsbook, PokerStars and Stars Casino, customers create one account for all three apps, unlocking a wide variety of exciting and entertaining options to supercharge the experience for our Michigan audience.”
Online gaming and sports betting are expected to be an avenue for Michigan casinos to make up for substantial losses incurred in 2020 while also generating millions in tax revenue for the state.
By most accounts, online gaming is off to a booming start.
Michigan and Virginia both launched online gambling late last week and combined for 7.5 million online gambling transactions across 400,000 accounts, according to data from GeoComply, which provides geolocation tracking services for the internet gaming industry.
Michigan and Virginia accounted for 25 percent of the overall volume last weekend across the U.S. market, which encompasses 17 states with legal online betting.
“There were no real reports of any outages -- maybe some lag here and there -- but nothing overly out of the norm in that regard. And also you had a great weekend for an opening. You had the conference championship games and you had the added bonus of a high-profile UFC fight (Dustin Poirier vs. Conor McGregor). So all in all, with the exception of maybe starting on Super Bowl Friday or the first round of the NCAA Tournament, you’re not going to get a much better opening slot.”

Which Age Group Has The Best Sports Bettors? There’s Some Data.
John Brennan Published: Sep 23, 2019.
It’s easy enough to picture legal sports betting in New Jersey to be an “old man’s game,” since many of them have been either wagering illegally for decades or at least keeping a close eye on point spreads recreationally.
But according to data from the first half of 2019 produced by 888 Holdings, it is middle-aged and younger men who are the ones holding their own — and the oldest ones who are struggling.
Men aged 55-64 saw a negative 25% return on their investment, and those aged 65 and up lost 12.1%.
The biggest winners by far were those aged 45-54, with a positive 16.9% return on investment. Men aged 35-44 (0.9%) and aged 18-24 (0.1%) eked out narrow victories, while those aged 25-34 lost 8.5% of their collective wagering dollars.
The total win for the house was 4.6%, a smidge below typical house expectations. If these numbers hold up over time, though, look for operators to try to figure out how to entice more seniors into action.
Online casino and poker results.
No group of men was a winner in online casino gaming, but this time those aged 55-64 turned the tables on the rest by losing just 20.6% of their dollars. That nosed out those aged 25-34 at 23.8%.
The rest did much more poorly: aged 35-44 lost 42.9%, aged 45-54 lost 53.5%, and those 65 and up lost a whopping 73.9%.
As for online poker, there was strikingly little variation. The best was a loss of 35.9% by that aged 55-64 group which seemingly should avoid sports betting, and the worst was a loss of 46.5% by those aged 18-24. The older three subgroups of men all outshone their younger cohorts.
The number of participants was 755 men for online casino, 741 for poker, and 451 for sports betting.
One group of women — 575 for online casino — proved large enough to carry some weight statistically. And for whatever reason, those women did much better than men.
Women aged 55-64 (12.1% ROI) and 25-34 (12.2%) each fared better than any male group — and those two age cohorts won the day among both genders in online casino play.
More numbers on female gambling.
Note to those with grandparents who seem to spend a lot of time “spinning the wheels” on their laptops — women aged 65 and up had a negative 77.1% ROI for online casino, slightly worse than male senior citizens, with each group taking up the rear in the category.
With only 78 female poker players and 76 female sports bettors in the analysis, the numbers are for amusement purposes only. Still, let’s amuse ourselves:
Poker-playing women, meanwhile, performed similarly to men. The main exceptions were women aged 55-64 losing at a rate of just 3.2% and women aged 35-44 leading all groups with a loss of 65.5%.
It’s still relatively early in the national online gambling era, but it will be interesting to see if women can maintain these advantages over men once we have years of data across a swath of the country.
And if they do, it might be time for a “Jenny The Greek” on national TV instead of gambler Jimmy “The Greek” from the 1970s.


GO TIME: Online Casinos, Sports Betting Live in Michigan Jan. 22; Poker Not Yet Launching.
While Michigan won’t be launching online poker right away, sports betting and real money online casinos are set to launch Friday . On Tuesday, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) authorized nine operators to go live on Jan. 22 at noon.
“The Michigan Gaming Control Board and the state’s commercial and tribal casinos will begin a new era Jan. 22 with the launch of regulated online gaming and sports betting,” MGCB executive director Richard S. Kalm said in a news release.
“Michigan residents love sports and, judging by inquiries we’ve received, eagerly anticipate using mobile devices to place bets through the commercial and tribal casinos. Online gaming and sports betting will provide the casinos with new ways to engage with customers while the state and local communities will benefit from taxes and payments on wagering revenue.”
No poker yet, but online gaming may pave the way.
Michigan officially legalized online poker, online casinos and sports betting in 2019. So far, PokerStars and Roar Digital/MGM (which runs partypoker US Network ) have been approved in the state.
The good news for poker players is that online casinos in Michigan will at least launch this week. Also, Kalm noted recently that he didn’t expect online poker sites in Michigan to see a significant delay.
Many Pennsylvania online poker players were left frustrated after a lengthy delay between iGaming launch and online poker. The Michigan online operators authorized to begin online gaming on Jan. 22 include:
Tribe/casino Associated platform provider Gaming types offered on Jan. 22 MGM Grand Detroit BetMGM/Roar Digital Casino games; sports betting Bay Mills Indian Community DraftKings Casino games; sports betting Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians William Hill Casino games; sports betting Greektown Casino Penn Sports Interactive/Barstool Sportsbook Sports betting Hannahville Indian Community TwinSpires Casino games; sports betting Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Golden Nugget Online Gaming Casino games; sports betting Little River Band of Ottawa Indians Rush Street Casino games; sports betting MotorCity Casino FanDuel Casino games; sports betting Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians Wynn Casino games; sports betting.
Closing in on launch date.
MGCB officials noted the days between authorization and launch give operators additional time for testing and adjustments before going live.
The MGCB expects to authorize additional operators and platform providers in the coming days and weeks. Agency staff members continue reviewing other submissions to ensure they meet state regulatory requirements .
“We want the public to have confidence when they place wagers,” Kalm said, “and our agency has required the providers to prove they meet Michigan’s standards, which are designed to protect the participants.”
An MGCB spokesperson told USPoker that the board “has approved online poker games at the request of various platform providers. Operators and platform providers will decide which games they will present at launch.”
Despite that, there has been no timeline for a partypoker launch in the state. The MGCB also provisionally approved PokerStars as well. However, the operator is not among those with the initial go-ahead.
Poker fans may be in waiting mode, but a launch at least appears in sight – just not on Jan. 22.
