Following the introduction of Michigan online sports betting in early 2021, sports gambling operators were in a rush to capture the attention of Michigan sports enthusiasts.
Included in the list of companies is Bally’s, a renowned brand that owns a prominent Michigan sports cable channel. This channel serves as the official broadcasting home for the Detroit Pistons, Red Wings, and Tigers.
On March 31, 2021, Fox Sports Detroit transitioned into Bally Sports Detroit, aiming to tap into the profitable sports betting industry in the Great Lakes State. However, it is important to note that Bally’s does not currently have market access in Michigan.
In late April 2021, the transition from the Fox Sports GO app to the Bally Sports app took place, which brought about new graphics and music. However, apart from these updates, not many other changes were made.

Bally Sports+ streaming service launching June 23, 2022
The majority of streaming customers in Michigan have not had access to Bally Sports Detroit.
Sinclair has not reached a deal with YouTubeTV, Hulu, fuboTV, and SlingTV, therefore, subscribers of these platforms are unable to access the channel.
Introducing the Bally Sports+, a stand-alone streaming service for cord cutters. Scheduled to debut on June 23, this service will be available for a monthly fee of $19.99 or a yearly subscription of $189.95. By subscribing, customers gain access to all Bally Sports Detroit broadcasts, including coverage of the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings, and more.
AT&T TV, DIRECTV, and Xfinity are cable providers that offer access to the channel, although certain access tiers may come at a higher price.
Sinclair purchased channels, repackaged naming rights
One crucial fact to be aware of is that Fox Sports Detroit has been under different ownership for over a year now, and it is no longer owned by FOX.
In 2019, Sinclair Broadcast Group acquired Fox Sports Detroit and an additional 20 regional sports networks from Disney.
As a consequence of Disney’s acquisition of the 21st Century Fox entertainment division, the decision was made to sell off the RSNs due to monopoly restrictions imposed by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Bally’s making many moves in sports betting game
Bally’s, a renowned Las Vegas Strip betting brand, made a series of strategic moves, including the branding rights deal, as part of their transition towards online sports wagering.
Twin River Worldwide Holdings, previously known as the current Bally’s company, obtained the brand name after the Caesars merger with Eldorado Resorts last year. As part of the deal, Twin River also gained ownership of the Bally’s property in Atlantic City, but interestingly, not the Bally’s Las Vegas property.
Gamesys Group, a United Kingdom online gaming company, was acquired by Bally’s in 2021.
Last year, the company purchased Bet.Works, a supplier of sports betting platforms, and has intentions to introduce a Bally Bets platform. Additionally, Bally’s acquired Monkey Knife Fight, a daily fantasy sports company.
However, the company still lacks market access, a resource that has become exceedingly rare to come by in Michigan.
Will I be able to bet on games while watching Bally Sports Detroit?
Due to the lack of market access in Michigan, Bally’s will not be offering its sports betting product here right away.
Nevertheless, there may be future prospects available.
As contracts between sports betting companies and casino operators expire, opportunities to enter the market may arise in the future.
Without market access, you won’t be able to place bets on games through your TV. However, you can still bet on games aired on Bally Sports Detroit by using any of the 15 live sports betting operators available.
Online sports betting presence all over Michigan TVs
The Bally’s branding serves as an additional means to connect with sports viewers in Michigan.
Ever since online sports betting was introduced on January 22, 2021, the competition among TV ads during sporting events here has escalated to an extreme level.
Jamie Foxx has a strong sense of belonging within the family. As the Detroit Pistons shoot free throws, you can expect to be presented with sports betting ads.
In the near future, sports betting marketing will originate from a brand that is not currently operational within the state.
This is merely the most recent evidence of how far these companies are willing to go in order to connect with sports enthusiasts.
