American Daily Fantasy Sports giants, DraftKings will be among the first operators to enter the opportunistic online sports betting market in Michigan as soon as it goes live. DraftKings Michigan made the necessary partnership with Bay Mills Resort & Casino in June 2020, seven months after the state officially legalized sports betting.
Bay Mills Resort & Casino is one of the state’s 23 tribal casinos. It functions as a DraftKings Michigan retail license partner for both online and brick-and-mortar sports betting in the state. The sportsbook shows clear attention of hitting the market on a high by offering a lucrative $200 pre-launch bonus ($100 for sports betting and casino apiece) to anyone who registers a new account at DraftKings Michigan even before it goes live.
