July 31, 2026

Michigan’s commercial and tribal operators reported $341.3 million in combined internet gaming and online sports betting gross receipts in June. The Michigan Gaming Control Board said that total was down 10.8% from May. Online sports betting remained the weaker side of the market, with adjusted gross receipts of $20.15 million. Handle was $366.1 million, also lower than in May.

iGaming continued to supply most of the money. June iGaming adjusted gross receipts were $289.21 million, down 1.5% from May but up 28.0% from a year earlier. Combined adjusted gross receipts across the two verticals totalled $309.36 million.

The June figures extended a run of monthly declines in sports betting. April sports betting AGR was $24.45 million, May fell to $23.27 million, and June dropped again to $20.15 million. Handle followed the same direction, sliding from $460.8 million in April to $457.6 million in May and then to $366.1 million in June.

The contrast with iGaming has remained stark. The board’s report said iGaming AGR was up 28.0% year over year, while online sports betting AGR was down 33.9%.

A separate AOL report said prediction markets have emerged as an alternative to traditional online sports betting and could divert some wagering from state-regulated, taxable sportsbooks. It cited a 2026 Truist Securities survey in which 17% of respondents chose Kalshi as the best product for online sports wagering and prediction markets, compared with 20% for DraftKings and 15% for FanDuel.

Michigan operators also submitted $62.3 million in taxes and payments to the state in June. The state had 15 authorised commercial and tribal operators, with 13 offering online sports betting and all 15 offering iGaming.
