Michigan’s online casinos generated $289.2m in adjusted gross receipts in June, up 28% year-on-year, while online sports betting revenue fell 33.9% to $20.2m, according to the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB).
Combined adjusted gross receipts reached $309.4m for the month. Gross receipts before adjustments totalled $341.3m, split between $301.2m from igaming and $40.1m from sports betting.
Compared with May, igaming receipts slipped 1.5% and sports betting dropped 13.4%. Operators paid $60.8m in igaming taxes and fees to the state for the month, while online sports betting contributed $1.5m.
New brands lift the casino vertical
Fifteen online casino brands were live in Michigan during June. FanDuel led with $72.1m in gross igaming revenue, ahead of BetMGM on $66.3m and DraftKings on $41.5m, according to MGCB operator data. All three rank among the largest igaming operators in the Americas. BetRivers followed with $23.2m, then Hard Rock Bet on $20.8m and Fanatics on $19.5m.
Much of the year-on-year growth came from two recent entrants. Hard Rock Bet launched in Michigan in December 2025 and bet365 followed in mid-April; the pair generated a combined $29.2m in June. Among the established brands, Fanatics grew 61.5% year-on-year and BetRivers 28.6%, while Golden Nugget, Hollywood Casino, Horseshoe and Four Winds all posted declines.
Pennsylvania’s lead shrinks to $1.9m
June’s figures put Michigan within $1.9m of Pennsylvania, the largest US igaming state by monthly revenue. Pennsylvania operators reported $303.1m in igaming revenue for the month against Michigan’s $301.2m, the narrowest gap since Michigan’s market opened in January 2021.
Michigan had closed to within $9m of Pennsylvania in March and April. Its 25.2% year-on-year growth in gross igaming revenue for June also outpaced Pennsylvania’s 14.3% and New Jersey’s 17.5%.
The state has now recorded $11.95bn in lifetime igaming revenue and will pass $12bn when July’s data is published. Operators collected $1.80bn in the first half of 2026, ahead of the pace set in 2025, when full-year igaming revenue reached a record $3.09bn.
Sports betting slide continues
The sports betting numbers moved the other way. Online handle came in at $366.1m for June, down 20% year-on-year, while adjusted gross receipts of $20.2m were down 33.9%.
Licensed sportsbooks across the US face growing competition from prediction market platforms, which have drawn wagering volume in several states. June also sits in the quietest stretch of the US sports calendar, between the end of the NBA and NHL seasons and the start of the NFL.
Detroit casinos add $102.7m
The online figures follow the MGCB’s land-based report for June, which showed Detroit’s three commercial casinos generated $102.7m in revenue for the month.
Regulated online gambling continues to expand across North America. Alberta opened its market on July 13 with 28 registered operators, and Michigan’s July report, due in mid-August, will show whether the state passes the $12bn lifetime mark and overtakes Pennsylvania in monthly igaming revenue for the first time.
