BetAmerica Michigan is one of the American premier gambling hubs. They take pride in a rich history dating back to 1875 when they accepted the maiden horse racing bets. The operator expanded its business line to offer casino games and sports betting lately. They are owned by famous Churchill Downs Incorporated, a company that stands behind one of the biggest horse races in the world, the Kentucky Derby.
Churchill Downs Incorporated teamed up with Hannahville Indian Community to officially set everything up for the grand entrance to the recently-opened Michigan sports betting market. BetAmerica Michigan will thus offer wagering odds both online and at a land-based venue, the Island Resort & Casino in Harris.

BetAmerica Michigan Sports Betting Section
BetAmerica Michigan have recently signed a multi-year partnership with tech giants GAN (Game Account Network) and Kambi. With such two powerhouses in their respective niche standing behind the sportsbook’s betting section, we can’t expect anything less than extraordinary. This is exactly what BetAmerica Michigan are delivering.
It is easy to fall in love with the eye-pleasing blue-and-white background and it is even easier to navigate the page. You can find more or less anything you are looking for in a single click. As mentioned above, the most popular events (both live and upcoming) occupy the heart of the main page. You can also find the mainstream games (for the day) on the left side, just above the full list of sports. Naturally, the bet-slip is on ne opposite side. You will also see the live chat link and the option to select the odds format at the top-right corner.
Variety of Odds
You may not be overwhelmed by the range of sports available for betting, at least when compared to other big hitters in the industry. Nonetheless, BetAmerica Michigan still cover all of the mainstream leagues to the full extent. They also offer odds for the most popular international sports. The full list of options includes:
- Football
- Basketball
- Soccer
- MMA
- Golf
- Motor Racing
- Tennis
- Hockey
- Table Tennis
- Darts
- Boxing
- Cricket
- Rugby League
- Rugby Union
In this specific list, you can also find the “Super Odds” link. When you click it, you will see enhanced odds on selected (usually the most exciting) games for the day.
The odds are industry-standard, set at regular -110 on both ends of a total or spread market for the professional leagues. The operator’s advantage is slightly higher on the more exotic markets, though. Bettors won’t be disappointed by the list of the markets either as they have an opportunity to bet on the following (among others):
- Moneyline
- Totals
- Spreads
- Team Props
- Player Props
- Game Props
- Halves
- Quarters
- Futures
- Round Robins
- Parlays
Variety of Live Betting Odds
Almost everything available in the pre-game betting selection is up for grabs for live wagering. By this, we refer to the competitions such as the second tier of Israeli soccer (all outings of the Matchday, all-season long), Alfred Dunhill Championship in golf, ITF Futures tournaments in tennis, Russian Moscow Liga Pro in table tennis, and Players Championship in darts (among others).
The players can check the schedule of live betting events at any time, as well as see the latest results. The fact you can bet the exact score per set or the number of games in a set in the lowest-profile tennis match out there should best describe the versatility of the department.
However, be careful with these less popular matches because you will rarely catch the good odds there, at least compared to the biggest competitions where the range of markets is wider anyway.
Variety of Livestreaming
Sadly, BetAmerica Michigan do not offer live streaming for sports events at this point. We can hardly look at it as a massive drawback knowing only a small portion of the state sportsbooks actually do house this feature.
Variety of Promotions
BetAmerica Michigan promote a variety of special on-going offers to complement the aforementioned “Bet $50 – Get $50” welcome package. Some of them come in the form of the following:
- NFL Touchdown Special – Place a $50 pre-game spread wager on selected NFL affairs and get a $5 bonus for each passing touchdown scored by either team
- NFL Thanksgiving Parlay Party – Get your stake back (up to $50) if one of your selections lets you down in a three-leg parlay on Week 12 games
- Multi-Sport Parlay – Get a 100% stake refund up to $25 if one of at least five legs let you down in a parlay (regardless of the sport and event)
