Michigan sportsbooks took $460.8 million in online bets during April, while online casino revenue again showed why iGaming remains the stronger part of the state market.
Good to Know
Sports betting activity improved from last April, but the margin story was less favorable. The Michigan Gaming Control Board reported $460.8 million in accepted online wagers, more than $40 million above April 2025.
However, adjusted gross sports betting receipts fell 8.7% year over year to nearly $24.5 million. The main reason was hold. Operators kept only 5.3% of wagers, down from 6.4% in April 2025, even though gross receipts reached the highest level so far in 2026.
FanDuel remained the clear leader. The operator handled $145.8 million and produced $15.7 million in AGR. Its handle slipped 5.7% from last year, but AGR rose 17%.
DraftKings ranked second with $127.2 million in bets and $8.4 million in AGR. Its handle increased 17.5%, although AGR fell 19.6% from April 2025.
BetMGM followed with $49.9 million in handle and $5.2 million in AGR. Fanatics handled $42.6 million, up 45% year over year, but AGR dipped to $2.2 million. Caesars fell to $19.7 million in handle, while AGR rose to $1.4 million. theScore Bet took $16.1 million in wagers and generated $860,723 in AGR.
Michigan collected $2.5 million in online sports betting taxes for the state and $817,940.83 for the city.
Online casino produced the larger result. Michigan iGaming operators reported $303.4 million in gross receipts, the third-highest monthly total since launch. Operators also paid $82.9 million in state and local taxes, leaving Michigan about $73 million away from $3 billion in gaming tax revenue since the market opened in January 2021.
