Has Detroit kept pace on the retail betting side?
For online casino operations, the MGCB approved DraftKings for a multi-state launch of its online poker platform on July 13, previously determining the operator met all regulatory requirements to conduct such activity.
DraftKings’ online poker platform is currently running through the Bay Mills Indian Community in Michigan, which serves as the state’s operator partner for the iGaming vertical.
The MGCB formed a new partnership with Gamban in April to offer free licenses to residents who wish to utilize the application, designed to limit or fully eliminate access to iGaming platforms
