Could the Drone Racing League in Michigan become our state’s unique betting trend, just like how Colorado is currently experiencing a surge in table tennis betting and New Jersey became the first state to introduce regulated Oscars betting in 2019?
The Michigan Gaming Control Board has given its approval for the addition of Drone Racing League markets to the state’s sports wagering menu, marking the first offbeat competition in Michigan.
The American Cornhole League has been included in the pending list of the MGCB catalog. This indicates that an operator has applied for its inclusion and is currently undergoing review by the MGCB.
What is the Drone Racing League?
In the Drone Racing League, pilots control drones from the ground, participating in timed heats and live racing events.
In the exhilarating First Person View racing, pilots compete against each other while donning goggles that display real-time footage from cameras mounted on the drones. These thrilling events take place in stadiums worldwide, but can also be experienced virtually through the DRL SIM, a cutting-edge simulator.
The launch of the DRL took place in 2015, with events being broadcasted on NBC, NBC Sports, and streamed on Twitter.
DRL was launched in 2015, and the drones achieve a speed of 90 mph.
The 2020 DRL season wrapped up earlier this year, and the schedule for the upcoming 2021 season has yet to be revealed. Traditionally, the season kicks off during the autumn season.
DraftKings already tied with DRL
Last November, DraftKings introduced DRL betting by launching a free-to-play pool that attracted over 230,000 participants.
In order to enhance interest and engagement, the DRL and DraftKings have collaborated to organize exclusive pre-flight shows before the live competitions.
Colorado, Illinois, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Tennessee, and West Virginia all provide the option for league wagering.
Drone racing not the only offbeat DraftKings partner
DraftKings is determined to be a bold operator in its offerings.
“Currently, we offer cornhole as one of our activities, but we are also exploring other options such as pickleball. Our aim is to continuously broaden the range of options available to our users,” stated Johnny Avello, Head of Race and Sportsbook at DraftKings, in an interview with Playinmichigan. “We have also considered including table tennis and plan to further expand our selection to offer more diverse content.”
The American Cornhole League has entered into an exclusive partnership agreement with DraftKings.
The operator has formed a partnership with Major League Eating, but the demand for that market has not been expressed in Michigan so far.
Avello mentioned that drone racing is not widely known, thus requiring some time for people to become accustomed to it. However, he highlighted that at DraftKings, visitors will notice a wide range of activities on their website.
In Colorado, DraftKings offers the opportunity to place bets on darts as well.
Can drone racing match Colorado’s love for table tennis?
In its first full month, online sports betting in Michigan has made an exceptional start, surpassing national records with a staggering February handle of over $300 million in wagers.
During the peak of the pandemic in May, Colorado introduced online sports wagering, which led to a surge in betting. As a result, in February, table tennis attracted $6.8 million in wagers, ranking it as the sixth most popular sport for betting in the state. The enduring popularity of table tennis betting in Colorado is noteworthy.
Is it possible for Drone Racing League betting to become popular in Michigan? Keep watching to find out.
