Michigan<\/span><\/strong><\/a> got its first pair of <\/span>sports betting<\/span><\/a> partnership deals just over a week into the new year.<\/span><\/p>\n

On\u00a0<\/span>Jan. 6<\/span><\/strong>, both\u00a0<\/span>PointsBet\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>and\u00a0<\/span>The Stars Group<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0announced partnerships. They will create entries into the\u00a0<\/span>Michigan sports betting<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and general gaming market.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the two heavy hitters breaking the mold, the race for the remaining\u00a0<\/span>24 land-based partners<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0has begun. And as a result, it would appear as though Michigan bettors will have no shortage of retail and online sports betting options.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brand names set for Michigan sports betting<\/span><\/h2>\n

The holiday celebration in Michigan\u00a0<\/span>included a signature from\u00a0<\/span>Gov. Gretchen Whitmer<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. The bill legalized retail and online sports betting<\/strong>, online casinos<\/strong> and online poker<\/strong>. As such, it joined\u00a0<\/span>Delaware<\/span><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>New Jersey<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Pennsylvania<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0as the only states to offer all three verticals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quick to get in on the ground floor, PointsBet\u00a0<\/span>announced a\u00a0<\/span>20-year access deal<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0with the\u00a0<\/span>Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Per the release, PointsBet will work alongside the tribe to create a betting app as well as an online casino. To boot, the two parties remain in negotiations to bring in PointsBet to power the retail sportsbook at the tribe\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Northern Waters Casino Resort<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0<\/span>Watersmeet<\/span><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Stars Group, meanwhile,\u00a0<\/span>teamed with the\u00a0<\/span>Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. It is providing the operator an avenue into another state for its\u00a0<\/span>Fox Bet\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>sports betting brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

With \u201cfirst skin market access,\u201d The Stars Group will have the right to operate and brand online betting, casino and poker in Michigan.<\/span><\/p>\n

PointsBet and Fox Bet both already operate in New Jersey. In addition, PointsBet has expanded into\u00a0<\/span>Iowa, while Fox Bet has done the same to Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Michigan online gaming deals have only just begun<\/span><\/h2>\n

These two partnerships serve as the starting gun. Surely many more similar deals will come across the wire in short order. <\/span>That means only good things for Michigan bettors, as the state will likely boast a plethora of brands.<\/span><\/p>\n

After all, consider how many land-based properties remain. Whitmer\u2019s signature in late 2019 allowed for Michigan\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>three commercial and 23 tribal casinos<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0to incorporate sports betting, online casinos and online poker. There will be one skin for each vertical.<\/span><\/p>\n

Indeed, gambling real estate abounds. <\/span>As for which brands one might see, that is a picture without a clear image at this point.<\/span><\/p>\n

That said,\u00a0<\/span>MGM Resorts<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0operates out of\u00a0<\/span>Detroit<\/span><\/strong>, creating an opportunity for\u00a0<\/span>Roar Digital<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0to step into the gaming environs.\u00a0<\/span>Penn National<\/span><\/strong>, meanwhile, recently acquired a Detroit casino that could become part of Penn\u2019s aggressive gaming expansion.<\/span><\/p>\n

No doubt,\u00a0<\/span>DraftKings Sportsbook<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>FanDuel Sportsbook<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0will work toward Michigan market access. Where one goes, the other seems to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michigan boasts fertile ground, which is why the state will assuredly see ample interest from an array of operators. And soon.<\/span><\/p>\n
