Michigan’s online gambling market delivered another strong performance in November, with sports betting taking centre stage. While iGaming continues to anchor the state’s digital gambling revenues, November marked a record-breaking month for online sports betting, underlining the market’s maturity and sustained consumer demand heading into the winter sports calendar.
Gross online sports betting revenue in Michigan reached a new monthly record of $87.3 million in November, surpassing the previous high of $83 million set in January. This milestone came despite a slight year-on-year decline in betting handle, highlighting improved operator margins and stronger hold performance.
Players wagered $631.1 million on sports during the month. Based on gross receipts, sportsbooks recorded a hold of 13.83%, while adjusted hold stood at 10.25% after promotional deductions. Adjusted sports betting gross receipts increased sharply, rising 74.7% year-on-year.
Although sports betting set the headline record, iGaming continued to provide the bulk of Michigan’s online gambling revenue. Gross iGaming revenue reached $248.4 million in November, up 9.9% year-on-year, though below October’s all-time high of $278.5 million.
Adjusted iGaming gross receipts climbed 14.7% compared with November last year, confirming the segment’s role as the primary growth engine for the state’s regulated online gambling market.
Combined gross online gambling revenue from sports betting and iGaming reached $335.7 million in November. This represented an 18.1% increase year-on-year, although it fell 4.7% short of October’s record total.
Adjusted gross receipts across both verticals totalled $298 million, up 24% compared with November 2024, reinforcing the market’s underlying strength even outside peak seasonal periods.
FanDuel, partnered with MotorCity Casino, retained its position as Michigan’s leading online sportsbook. The duo generated $39.3 million in gross receipts and $28.2 million in adjusted revenue from a $234.9 million handle, delivering a strong monthly hold of 16.73%.
DraftKings and the Bay Mills Indian Community ranked second with $23.8 million in gross receipts and $19.9 million adjusted revenue, while BetMGM completed the top three with $10.5 million in gross revenue.
In the iGaming segment, FanDuel and MotorCity also maintained their leading position, recording $71.8 million in gross receipts and $67.5 million in adjusted revenue.
MGM and BetMGM followed with $63 million in gross receipts, while Rush Street Interactive, partnered with the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, placed third with $22.7 million.
Total state taxes and payments from online gambling reached $53 million in November. Of this, $48.5 million came from iGaming taxes and fees, while sports betting contributed $4.5 million. Detroit’s three commercial casinos also paid an additional $14.4 million, with tribal governing bodies receiving $5.5 million.
Detroit’s land-based casino revenue remained flat year-on-year at $108.2 million. Slot and table games edged up slightly, while sports betting revenue declined, reflecting the ongoing shift toward online channels.
November’s results underline the resilience and balance of Michigan’s regulated gambling market. With sports betting now capable of delivering record months alongside consistently strong iGaming performance, the state continues to set benchmarks for regulated online gambling growth in the United States.
