01Michigan iGaming
Are tribal online casinos legal in Michigan?
Internet-gaming licensees that carry a tribe field are still MGCB-licensed products, labelled as tribal (nation + legal basis) in our online data. That is not a substitute for the providers list, and it is not a directory on this glossary page.
02Advice
Is this page legal advice?
No. It restates the Michigan online casino status (checked Oct 13, 2026) and MGCB’s providers list. For a dispute, use the Board’s path or ask counsel.
03More questions people ask
Who regulates online casino in Michigan?
MGCB. The legal basis we recorded is: MCL 432.203 et seq.; age MCL 432.311 Status on October 13, 2026: live, minimum age 21. Use the regulator site, not an app store listing, to confirm.
How many licensed online casino operators are there in Michigan?
Our regulator file lists 15 active online casino licence records for Michigan as of our October 13, 2026 check. One company can run more than one brand, and a licence can be suspended between our checks. The MGCB list is the source of truth; we do not rank the operators or link to them.
How many adults could legally bet in Michigan?
The Census Bureau estimates 7,684,029 residents aged 21 or older in Michigan (July 1, 2025). That is the adult population, not the number of bettors. Visitors can also play while physically inside state lines, because the rule is about location at the moment of the wager, not residence.
When did Michigan launch online casinos?
January 22, 2021, under the Lawful Internet Gaming Act, regulated by the Michigan Gaming Control Board. Each of the three Detroit casinos and federally recognized tribes can hold an internet licence.
Does Michigan share online poker with other states?
Yes. Michigan joined the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement, so licensed poker sites can pool players with other member states.
