Sports bettors in Michigan now have access to a variety of online sportsbooks. That means you can place bets from home or one the go whether you’re in the Upper or Lower Peninsula. But many still prefer the retail sportsbooks inside Michigan casinos.

Within Detroit’s three commercial casinos and across many tribal casinos located across the state, you can bet in-person at kiosks or betting windows, watch the games on huge TVs, and enjoy a full food and drink menu. And like with horse race betting, it can be more fun to win a payout as a group instead of alone at home.

  • Saganing Eagles Landing Casino & Hotel in Standish, MI
  • Ojibwa Casino in Marquette, MI
  • Ojibwa Casino in Baraga, MI
  • Northern Waters Casino Resort in Watersmeet, MI

Legal Sports Betting In Michigan

The state’s 23 tribal and three commercial casinos can enter into partnerships with gaming technology companies to launch both live and mobile sports betting as well as online casinos and multiplayer poker platformers.

The first of Michigan’s live sportsbooks began to launch in March 2020. Since then, 20 retail sportsbook locations have opened across the state.

The first of Michigan’s online sportsbooks launched on January 22, 2021. While ten Michigan online sportsbook apps launched on that day, at least a few more are expected to be added to the list of options throughout 2021, particularly FOX Bet.

What Sports Can I Bet On In Michigan?

Virtually all major domestic sports leagues should appear on the betting menus at Michigan’s live sportsbooks. Leagues including NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, NASCAR, UFC, PGA, and many others offer Michigan bettors the chance to bet on beloved US sports teams and athletes.

College sports present even more wagering opportunities. The Lawful Sports Betting Act places no restrictions on college sports betting, meaning open betting on big-time programs like the Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans.

The Types Of Bets Taken At Sportsbooks In Michigan

Michigan’s live sportsbooks offer the entire gamut of ways to wager on sports. Moneyline, point spread, parlays, teasers, futures, and prop bets are all on the menu, with no restrictions.

Moneyline

Moneyline bets function as the most simple and time-tested way to bet on sports. This kind of bet involves picking which team will win a game, with no point spread involved. Each team pays out at different odds, with underdogs paying out at better odds than favorites.

Point Spread

Point spread bets even the odds between favorite and underdog, by adding points to an underdog’s final score or subtracting from the favorite. Point Spread betting functions as the most popular way to bet on sports in the US.

Futures

A futures bet wagers on an event that takes longer than a single game. Many futures bets focus on accolades determined at the end of a sports season. Possible futures bets could include wagers on what team will win the Super Bowl, or what player will win the NBA Rookie of the Year award.

Prop Bets

A prop bets wagers on an event not directly related to what team wins or loses. A prop bet could include wagering on whether LeBron James will score more than 30 points in a given game, or which player will be the first to get on base in the World Series.

Parlays and Teasers

Parlays put multiple bets on the same ticket, paying out only if all wagers on the parlay win. Teasers function as parlays with odds and lines shifted in favor of the bettor, but payout at less favorable odds than traditional parlays.

Michigan Sports Betting Guide

The 3 Most Popular Sports For Sports Bettors In Michigan

NFL

The NFL reigns supreme as the most popular league among sports bettors in the US. The 16-game regular-season schedule begins in September, with 32 teams vying for the postseason.

The postseason sees 12 of those 32 teams advance, and games in the NFL playoffs present some of the most anticipated sports events in the US each year. The final two teams face off each February in the Super Bowl, which brings in more wagers than any sporting event in the world.

Michigan bettors can wager on the hometown Detroit Lions, as well as the other 31 NFL teams, with no restrictions.

NCAA Football

Michigan’s college football programs sit at the heart of the Big Ten Conference. The Big 10 enjoys a long-standing tradition as one of the top leagues in the NCAA’s top tier, the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS).

The FBS includes 130 programs that compete throughout the fall for a spot in the College Football Playoff (CFP). The top four FBS teams play each other each December and January, with the winner of the two-round tournament hoisting the CFP National Championship Trophy.

Michigan sports fans hold loyalties divided between two big-time programs – the Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans.

NCAA Basketball

Much like college football, the Big Ten represents one of the top conferences in NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball.

The Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans hold status as two of the most consistently successful programs in the Big Ten, but the conference is loaded with other basketball powerhouses. The Ohio State Buckeyes, Wisconsin Badgers, Purdue Boilermakers, Indiana Hoosiers, and Maryland Terrapins all present perennial threats to win the Big Ten championship.

The NCAA’s top men’s basketball division competes in a 68-team postseason tournament that functions as one of the most wagered-on sports events in the world. Nicknamed “March Madness”, the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament creates at atmosphere like no other sporting event.

Is It Legal To Bet On Sports Outside Of Legal Sportsbooks In Michigan?

All of the sportsbooks operating from Michigan’s tribal and commercial casinos operate legally. Live sportsbooks function as on-property amenities to the casinos in which they’re located.

The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) regulates the state’s commercial casinos, while the National Indian Gaming Commission provides oversight for Michigan’s tribal casinos.

Online sportsbooks operate as extensions of both commercially-owned and tribally-owned retail casinos, but all online betting falls under the regulatory purview of the MGCB.

Sportsbooks not offered as official products of Michigan’s regulated casinos are operating illegally. Betting on sports through any site or broker not regulated by Michigan’s gaming oversight agencies represents an illegal activity.

Barstool Sportsbook Android App Login

In February 2020, Penn National – owners of casinos and sportsbooks in multiple states – announced they were buying 36% of Barstool Sports.

A brand-new sports betting app is under development. This is expected to be available in the 3rd quarter of 2020. This will cover much more than the DFS style picks contests available on the current (national) Barstool Bets app. In the interim, here is a list of live Colorado sportsbooks.

While Penn National doesn’t directly own any casinos in Colorado, they do manage the Ameristar Casino in Black Hawk. That venue is favorite to host both retail and online sports betting under the Barstool Bets brand.

This page is a preview, based on what is known about Penn National (via its Hollywood Casinos properties), Barstool’s media empire, and the legal requirements for betting apps in Colorado.

Barstool Sportsbook Colorado: Welcome bonuses

If Penn National and Barstool make their public deadline of 3Q to launch their sportsbook, they will be entering a crowded scene in Colorado. Most rivals will have gone live on the May 1, 2020 kick-off. This is good news for prospective bettors. as Barstool will need an enticing welcome deal to get market share.

There are three types of bonuses on offer at online sportsbooks. Many offer a combination of a no-deposit free bet type offer and either a matched deposit bonus or risk-free first paid bet. Here are the possible Barstool Sportsbook bonuses:

  • No deposit bet: Expect a smaller bet (up to around $20) for registering, with no deposit required. Minimum odds and strict time limits are applied to this type of betting bonus.
  • Matched deposit bonus: Typical offers involve a 100% match on your first deposit up to $500. You’ll need to bet this bonus money, which comes in the form of betting credits, not cash.
  • Risk-free first bet: An alternative welcome offer involves your stake being returned if your first paid bet loses. Amounts vary, from $100 to $500. Your returned stake is in the form of betting credits.

Promotions tied to Barstool Media

The other popular media/sports betting tie-in is between StarsBet and FOX Sports. They have linked player promotions to the picks made by hosts of their popular shows. Barstool has a great opportunity to do something similar.

Hosts including KFC, Big Cat, and El Presidente could make selections, which then get enhanced odds or bet insurance/refund type deals attached. This could be the tip of the iceberg in terms of cross over deals with the media brand.

Other sportsbook apps in Colorado have a loyalty program. These vary, some offer fixed returns, others are tiered with increasing benefits as you move up. Barstool Bets will need to offer something along similar lines to be competitive in the Centennial State.

Is the Barstool Colorado Sports betting app legal?

Penn National doesn’t currently own a property in Colorado. It did own Bullwhacker’s Casino in Black Hawk, though this has since been sold. They do manage the Ameristar Casino, which has yet to announce a sports betting partner. This is one of the larger casinos in Black Hawk, and an obvious fit with the new Barstool Bets brand. No official announcement has been made at the time of writing.

With 33 casinos in Colorado, there are plenty of potential partners that have not already announced deals.

Barstool Sportsbook Locations

Sports betting was made legal in CO in a referendum in November 2019. Known as ‘Proposition DD’, this passed a state-wide vote narrowly. It allowed House Bill 1327, which set out a licensing framework for online and retail sports betting, to become law. The first sportsbooks went live in May 2020.

Downloading the Barstool Sports betting apps

There are three ways to place bets in Colorado. You can visit a retail sportsbook at a casino in Black Hawk, Cripple Creek or Central City or go online via desktops, Android, or iOS devices.

Most people will choose the more convenient online betting option. From a desktop or laptop computer, you’ll be able to bet via website-based sportsbooks. If you are using a smartphone or tablet, you’ll need to install the Barstool Sports betting app.

Apps include geo-location technology. This shows that you are inside state lines, which is a requirement before you can place a bet.

Barstool Bets will be able to detect whether you are using an Android smartphone or iPhone/iPad when you visit their website. You’ll then be offered the correct download. For Android users, the download will come from Barstool directly. Depending on your device, you’ll need to dismiss some warning messages about downloading from an ‘unknown source’.

Getting around the Barstool betting apps

We already know how the branding will look with the distinctive sideways stool logo and clean navigation a given. We also have a good idea of how the app will be laid out. While each Colorado betting app has some unique attributes, the navigation and layout follow a similar pattern.

First, you’ll need to find the sport, league, and then individual match(es) you want to bet on. The most popular pro leagues will be featured on a menu which will appear on the left. This will include live matches – which you’ll be able to bet on while they take place. For other sports, you’ll find an A-Z or fill list linked here.

Once your sport appears, you can drill down the divisions, conferences or choose college (or international) fixtures via tabs. When you find an individual match, this will have the popular singles bets showing only. If you want to bet the moneyline, totals or spread – then click on the lines to add them to your bet slip. Otherwise, clicking the ‘more bets’ link will give you a full list of the lines.

The final step is to visit your bet slip. On some apps this appears at the bottom – and will appear when you tap it. On others, you’ll access this via the main menu.

No bet is placed until confirmed. You can remove anything unwanted from your bet slip before you finish. The remaining selections can be combined into multiple bets like parlays or round robins, or you can place singles. The final step is to set the amount to wager, then confirm your bet.

What kind of bets can I place at Barstool in Colorado?

Barstool will be expanding from their current list of small picks style (DFS) contests into a full range of sports betting wagers. These can be split into single match bets, multiples (parlays) and special bets like props.

A new type of betting that online sportsbooks offer is live betting. This is also known as in-play betting by some brands. The bets you’ll place are the single match wagers listed below. The difference is that you can place them while the action is underway via your app. The name ‘Barstool’ is perfect for this type of betting – with the possibility of placing bets literally from your bar stool while you enjoy the game.

Here are the types of bet you’ll find at the Barstool Bets sportsbook:

  • Moneyline: You’ll bet on the team you expect to win, with the odds provided by Barstool.
  • Spread: Here Barstool will level the chances of the teams, by adding points / goals to the underdog.
  • Totals: The combined points/goals of both teams are shown, you can choose to bet the under or the over.
  • Parlays: You bet on 2+ matches, all of your selections need to win for this bet to pay out.
  • Teasers: Also called ‘alternative spreads’, this type of parlay has spreads to improve your winning chances.
  • Round robins: Combine parlays in different combinations, if one team loses – you can still get paid.
  • Futures: Any bet on an event some way off, for example winners of next year’s Super Bowl.
  • Prop bets: A bet on something that is not the match outcome. First player to score, highest scoring player and so on.
  • Period bets: Instead of wagering on the entire match, this might cover the first quarter, or final period.

Barstool Bets Colorado: Depositing and withdrawing

Unless you get lucky with your no-deposit free bet deals, you’ll need to fund your sports betting account. A significant benefit to regulated sportsbooks in Colorado, is that many easy deposit and withdrawal methods are now available. For many people, using a credit or debit card in the same way as making any online purchase is the easiest of all. Others prefer to keep their regular spending and sports betting separated,while some people prefer the security of third-party payment systems.

Here is the full list of ways you’ll be able to deposit and withdraw from Barstool Bets in Colorado:

  • Credit and debit cards: Big brands like Visa, MasterCard, Discover and (sometimes) Amex can be used to fund you betting account. Depositing will follow exactly the same process as making any online purchase.
  • Prepaid cards: Many sportsbook brands have partnered with Discover to bring branded debit cards to their players. It is not known whether Barstool will follow the likes of DraftKings and FanDuel and bring out a ‘Barstool Bets Card’.
  • PayPal: The most popular electronic wallet service is widely welcomed at legal/regulated online sportsbooks. This provides a secure online wallet between your bank and Barstool in exchange for small fees.
  • Skrill/Neteller: These are similar services to PayPal in the electronic wallet space. Both are popular with gambling brands.
  • ACH bank transfers: This payment option is also known as ‘e-Checks’. It is a local bank transfer direct to your Barstool account. If you get verified in advance, ACH transfers become instant.
  • Bank wires: A slower, secure payment option which is still popular where very large transfers are required.
  • Bill pay: Some sportsbooks allow you to fund your account in the same way that you’d pay a utility bill. This method is only available at some banks.
  • Cash at cage: Once we confirm which casino (Ameristar or otherwise) Barstool will be partnering with, the options for paying in cash at the cage of a Colorado casino will become clear.
  • PayNearMe: You can pay cash at the cashier of 7-Eleven stores to fund your betting account. Note that this does incur fees.

Wrapping up: Bet online at the Barstool Sportsbook in Colorado

This book will open in the third quarter of 2020. As a joint venture between the casino giant Penn National and a huge media brand, Barstool Bets is expected to hit the ground running.

Barstool will be entering a crowded market. This means bettors can expect some solid welcome offers in an attempt to attract them from their current books. You’ll be able to bet online via apps or at the Ameristar Casino in Black Hawk, where Penn National manage a major casino.
