Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous sportsbooks in Michigan had to alter their planned openings, moving them from the summer to the football season.

The Island Resort & Casino in Harris is all set to unveil its BetAmerica Sportsbook on Thursday, perfectly timed with the start of the NFL season.

Numerous individuals remain on the sidelines.

The BetAmerica Sportsbook is set to become the inaugural retail sportsbook in the Upper Peninsula, marking the ninth statewide sportsbook to be introduced in the region.

Last month, Churchill Downs Inc. secured a partnership with the Hannahville Indian Community for the purpose of engaging in online gambling and retail sportsbook operations.

BetAmerica Sportsbook features CashOut feature

Because tribal casinos in Michigan are not subject to regulations from the Michigan Gaming Control Board, they have the freedom to provide exclusive betting options that are unavailable at Detroit’s commercial casinos.

BetAmerica will allow a CashOut option, known as one of the available bets.

With CashOut, bettors have the option to evaluate their ongoing bets and secure a payout before the game concludes. Additionally, they can also cash out their bets even before the game begins.

At BetAmerica, you can also engage in live betting. As stated in the guide, the sportsbook will provide betting options for NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, college basketball, and an array of other sports.

Where can Michigan residents make NFL bets this season?

Besides the recently established BetAmerica lounge in close proximity to Escanaba, other sportsbooks are also accepting bets for the commencement of the NFL season.

  • The BetMGM Sports Lounge located in Detroit at MGM Grand Detroit.
  • Battle Creek’s FireKeepers Casino is home to Dacey’s Sportsbook.
  • The FanDuel Sportsbook in Detroit is located at MotorCity Casino.
  • The sportsbooks at Four Winds, located in Dowagiac, Hartford, and New Buffalo.
  • The sportsbook at Greektown Casino-Hotel in Detroit.
  • Manistee’s Little River Casino presents the River Rock Sportsbook & Grill.

Michigan is gearing up to introduce online sports betting, casinos, and poker, with the anticipated launch scheduled around Thanksgiving time.

What will be the next Michigan sportsbook openings?

Two casinos in northern Michigan are actively discussing the possibility of launching sportsbooks in the near future.

To create excitement for its grand opening, Odawa Casino in Petoskey launched a Facebook page titled “Sports Betting at Odawa Casino.”

The Stars Group has joined forces with Odawa Casino to enhance their online offerings.

Turtle Creek Casino in Williamsburg, located near Traverse City, has recently launched a Facebook page and Twitter account specifically dedicated to the Onyx Sports Book by William Hill.

The sportsbook, along with its sister casino, Leelanau Sands Casino in Peshawbestown, is set to arrive soon, as mentioned in the promotional posts.

Other sportsbooks coming down the line

Playinmichigan contacted the other casinos in Michigan that have sportsbooks in the works, but they did not disclose any information regarding the expected opening dates.

The following are included:
