BetMGM returns to no. 1 Michigan online casino operator

BetMGM Casino has been the top market performer for 39 consecutive months since the Michigan online casino market went live in January 2021. That status ended in March when FanDuel became the leader.

FanDuel Casino enjoyed the number one position for two months, March and April. BetMGM came back on top in May, however.

The top five online casinos in Michigan for May were:

1. MGM Grand Detroit: $52.6 million
2. MotorCity (FanDuel): $51.5 million
3. Bay Mills (DraftKings): $34.9 million
4. Little River Band of Ottawa (BetRivers): $12.5 million
5. Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa (Caesars): $11.8 million

The battle for the No. 1 spot continues.
