According to the<strong> Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB)<\/strong>, it is unlikely that online poker will be made available to local residents <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/eu.detroitnews.com\/story\/news\/local\/michigan\/2020\/01\/22\/michigan-online-gambling-delayed-until-2021-by-rules\/4545425002\/\" target=\"_blank\">until 2021<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to MGCB spokesperson Mary Kay Bean, regulators will need <strong>at least a year<\/strong> to finalize rules for online gambling operators. The board has based this estimate on the amount of time it took to develop sets of rules for other gaming operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u00a0&#8220;The MGCB is following the regular rules process, which provides opportunities for stakeholder and public input \u2014 holding a public hearing and offering a public comment period \u2014 and to file a regulatory impact statement&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>There is huge potential for online gaming operators generate significant tax revenue for the state of Michigan. In 2019, casinos in Detroit generated <strong>$117.8 million in gaming taxes<\/strong>, and that number will surely increase once online casinos and online poker sites go live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"land-based-sportsbetting-coming-much-sooner\">Land-Based Sportsbetting Coming Much Sooner <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While it will be a white being online poker and casino games won\u2019t be available until some time in 2021, sportsbetting in casinos should be launched this year. It is estimated that punters will be able to place wagers <strong>by the time March Madness begins<\/strong>. There is also the possibility that online casino games will be going live before online poker, as was the case in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of companies have already started getting ready to launch sportsbetting in Michigan. The<strong> MGM Grand in Detroit recently opened its own sports lounge<\/strong> where its sportsbooks will be placed while Penn National has entered into an agreement with mobile sportsbook theScore Inc. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of when online poker and casino games go live in Michigan,\nthere is one company that will be ready. The Stars Group has teamed up with the\nLittler Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians Gaming Authority, which will\nprovide PokerStars with access into the state\u2019s online gaming market as soon as\noperators are given the green light. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lawmakers in Michigan closed out 2019 with the decision to legalize and regulate online poker, but there is still lots of work to be done before sites can actually go live.
