If You Want To Bet NBA Draft Or Esports In MI, You’ll Have To Do It On Tribal Land

Could you please rephrase this statement?

Michigan sportsbooks vary in quality and offerings.

Although online sports betting markets will be fair and equal for all participants once online bets are made available later this year, the same cannot be said for retail sportsbooks.

Michigan Gaming Control Board regulations apply to the sports and markets offered on-site at Detroit’s three commercial casinos, but the tribal casinos in the state are exempt from these regulations.

After the pandemic shutdown, Michigan sports betting has resumed this summer, offering tribal casino sports bettors a wider range of options compared to players at Detroit’s Greektown Casino-Hotel, MGM Grand Detroit, and MotorCity Casino.

Tribal casinos can offer more on-site betting markets

Tribal casinos, being situated on sovereign lands, are exempt from MGCB regulations.

Nevertheless, the jurisdiction of the board will extend to the partnerships formed between Michigan tribes and online betting companies due to the fact that mobile sports betting enables bets to be placed from any location within the state.

However, in retail sportsbooks at FireKeepers Casino in Battle Creek, three Four Winds Casinos locations in southwest Michigan, and Little River Casino Resort in Manistee, there is a greater diversity of sports bets being placed.

Tribal casinos offer a wide range of sports including international club soccer, cricket, and darts that cannot be wagered on in Detroit. Additionally, markets such as the first pick of the NBA Draft are also available for betting.

Detroit casinos still have limited betting markets

There were only a few markets available when the approval for launching sports betting in Detroit’s commercial casinos was granted.

Furthermore, no additional additions have been made since the March launch, as the MGCB has been occupied with the compilation of online gambling regulations.

Despite Louis Theros, the vice president and general counsel of MGM Grand Detroit, assuring Playinmichigan in March that new markets would be introduced soon, this has not yet occurred.

Currently, these are the options available for betting in Detroit’s retail sportsbooks.

• Boxing, known as the IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO,
• Men’s and women’s basketball at the NCAA Division 1 level.
• NCAA football Division 1 – FBS exclusively
• MLB
• MLS
• UFC and Bellator are popular organizations that showcase mixed martial arts.
• NASCAR
• NBA
• NFL
• NHL
• Golf tournaments on the PGA, LPGA, and European Tour.
• The Olympic Games held during the winter and summer seasons.

The three Detroit casinos are currently not providing any betting options for non-sporting events such as the NBA Draft. Furthermore, they have yet to introduce individual prop bets for college sports.

Four Winds offers many more markets than Greektown

When evaluating the Kambi Bet Builder apps available for Four Winds and Greektown, one can gain valuable insights.

Both options allow you to create bets remotely, but in order to actually place the bet, you must personally visit the retail sportsbook.

Four Winds had 37,622 bets available on Thursday afternoon, while Greektown had 5,989 bets.

Four Winds has a staggering total of 31,896 soccer bets available worldwide. In contrast, Greektown offers only Major League Soccer and has 2,668 bets on offer.

At Four Winds, you can find additional sports such as tennis, Australian rules football, and rugby that are not offered at Greektown.

At Greektown, motorsport enthusiasts can only enjoy NASCAR races, whereas at Four Winds, they can revel in the excitement of Formula 1 and IndyCar races as well.

At Four Winds, you can find a wider range of golf bets to choose from, such as 2/3 balls and group betting.

Little River sportsbook offers the most markets

Furthermore, the BetRivers Sports Betting platform, powered by Kambi, is also utilized at the River Rock Sportsbook & Grill located in Little River.

The Betslip website they provide offers a greater variety of markets compared to Four Winds. Specifically, on Thursday afternoon, a total of 46,671 bets were available.

Available were sports like cycling, table tennis, and handball, along with Esports markets catering to Call of Duty and Overwatch.

FireKeepers keeping it pretty vanilla at outset

FireKeepers, the inaugural tribal casino sportsbook in Michigan, has diligently adhered to MGCB regulations thus far.

For the time being, Jim Wise, the Vice President of Marketing and Sports/Online Gaming, informed Playinmichigan that they will continue to adhere to the pillars.

“We have chosen to focus on our core offerings and have decided not to include sports like cricket and one-time events such as the NBA Draft. However, our menu for the betting public includes a wide range of options, including MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR, Golf, Soccer, UFC, boxing, and various futures bets on these sports. We are confident that our selection will cater to the needs of our customers.”

According to Wise, FireKeepers also provides international soccer events like Serie A in Italy. Additionally, the casinos plan to enhance their offerings for the upcoming online launch later this year.

He expressed that once we transition to online, we would be more inclined to opt for enjoyable offers such as drafts.

FireKeepers has forged a partnership with Scientific Games, intending to label their online offerings under the FireKeepers brand.
