Market Notes
- Handle and growth: Michigan generated approximately $5.41–$5.54 billion in total sports betting handle for 2025. The market is mature and stable in 2026, with strong peaks during March Madness and NFL season, followed by typical summer slowdowns.
- Market split: Mobile/online accounts for 97–98% of total handle. Retail sportsbooks (at tribal and commercial casinos) make up the remaining 2–3%.
- Hold and tax: Statewide hold has averaged 8–10% recently. Operators pay a flat 8.4% tax on adjusted gross receipts (one of the lowest rates nationally). This generated roughly $40–$45 million in state tax revenue from sports betting in 2025.
- Regulatory note: Michigan maintains a competitive market with both commercial and tribal operators. Governor Whitmer’s proposal to raise sports betting taxes (including a per-wager fee) was rejected by lawmakers in early 2026, leaving the 8.4% rate unchanged. Enforcement against offshore operators continues.
