Fox Bet were born out of a partnership between Fox Sports (a huge sports media provider) and The Stars Group (PokerStars owners). They will enter the newly-formed Michigan sports betting online market as soon as it goes live on the back of collaboration with the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians.
The respective entity owns and operates three land-based casinos in the Great Lakes State. One of the three, Odawa Casino Resort in Petoskey, will be the home to the Fox Bet Michigan retail sportsbook.

Fox Bet Michigan Sports Betting Section
Fox Bet Michigan are powered by Amelco, a London-based software supplier created by a group of niche veterans back in 2006. The company is massive on a global level which is why we are not surprised to see Fox Bet Michigan housing a top-notch sports betting section.
Although it has all the same features, the home page is somewhat different from the one you can find at other popular sportsbooks in the state. The main menu features three tabs:
- Popular
- Promotions
- Results
The center of the page is reserved for the most attractive promotions for a specific day (a big part of the operator’s general offer). You can find the most popular active leagues & links at the very top of the main page, including:
- Live Betting
- NFL
- NCAAF
- NCAAB
- Euro Elite Soccer
- MLS
- UFC
- Tennis
- NBA
- MLB
- NHL
- Football
- All Sports
Finally, the bet slip is always available on the right-hand side.
Variety of Odds
While browsing the sportsbook’s markets, we noticed an interesting pattern. Fox Bet Michigan rarely offer identical (-110 apiece) odds on spreads, regardless of the competition. For example, they will more often than not fancy one pick over another, offering something like this:
- Dallas Cowboys -2.5 Points Spread v Washington Football Team @ -118
- Washington Football Team +2.5 Points Spread v Dallas Cowboys @ +100
The same works out for totals on most occasions, although you will find the identical -110 odds on both bets more frequently than with the spreads. As you can see, the friendliness of the odds towards the bettors is at niche-standard.
The full list of sports available is not as impressive as with some other operators but still includes all mainstream leagues. You can thus bet on the following at Fox Bet Michigan:
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Boxing/UFC
- Cycling
- Darts
- Football
- Golf
- Handball
- Hockey
- Motor Sports
- Rugby Union
- Soccer
- Table Tennis
- Tennis
- Volleyball
Fox Bet Michigan allows the bettors a wide range of market options. A regular NFL game usually has more than 400 distinct markets. Expectedly, moneyline, spreads, and totals take the center of attention, but the exciting list also includes:
- Futures (a big part)
- Team Props
- Player Props
- Parlays
- Teasers
- Round Robins
Fox Bet Michigan stand out in the crowd for a unique “Custom Bet” option. You can actually propose any kind of bet you think of and send it through Twitter while using the #CustomBet hashtag on the operator’s profile. Fox Bet Michigan will then create the odds for you.
Variety of Live Betting Odds
While Fox Bet Michigan do not host the most extensive in-play betting department out there, they still cope pretty well on a large scale by providing live betting odds for all popular professional leagues in America. After all, it is what matters most to the vast majority of the Great Lakes State residents. If you prefer a broader array of options featuring exotic and less popular leagues in this section, we’d suggest you look elsewhere.
Variety of Livestreaming
Unfortunately, Fox Bet Michigan do not offer a live streaming service for their customers. This is the area where the operator fails to compete with the big guns in the industry at the moment.
