iGaming,-sports-betting-operators-report-$284.3M-in-November-revenue,-set-record-with-$650.2M-in-online-sports-betting-handle (1)Michigan’s gaming industry reached unprecedented heights in November 2024, with a record $284.3 million in combined internet gaming (iGaming) and sports betting gross receipts. This figure, reflecting a 12.1% increase from October, was announced by the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB). The strong performance highlights the continued growth of Michigan’s regulated gaming sector.

iGaming gross receipts for November totaled $226.0 million, surpassing the previous high of $220.7 million recorded in October. Internet sports betting gross receipts also saw a significant jump to $58.3 million, compared to $33.0 million in the prior month. The total sports betting handle for November reached $650.2 million, the highest reported to date, reflecting a 16% increase over October.

Adjusted gross receipts (AGR) for November show the sector’s momentum, with $240.4 million reported across iGaming and sports betting activities. iGaming AGR rose to $203.3 million, marking a 2.4% month-over-month increase, while internet sports betting AGR climbed to $37.1 million, up $27.2 million from October. Compared to the same period last year, iGaming AGR grew by 28.9%, with internet sports betting receipts rising by $36.8 million.

Contributions to State and Local Economies

The gaming industry’s success continues to bolster Michigan’s economy. In November, operators paid $44.4 million in taxes and fees to the state, with $42.5 million stemming from iGaming and $1.9 million from internet sports betting. The three Detroit casinos contributed an additional $11.2 million to the City of Detroit in wagering taxes and municipal fees, with tribal operators making $5.2 million in payments to local governing bodies.

For the entire year, the MGCB reported over $501.4 million in contributions to Michigan’s School Aid Fund, supporting K-12 public education. Of this total, $388.5 million came from iGaming, $12.9 million from internet sports betting, and $100.5 million from casino wagering taxes. Other contributions included $4 million to the First Responder Presumed Coverage Fund and $3 million to the Compulsive Gambling Prevention Fund. The “Don’t Regret the Bet” responsible gaming campaign also received $3.75 million in funding.

Detroit’s casinos collectively paid $264.8 million in wagering taxes in 2024, adding to the $3.91 billion in total payments made to the city since 1999. Charitable gaming also thrived, with Millionaire Parties raising $5.35 million for Michigan charities from November 2023 to November 2024.

Enforcement and National Recognition

The MGCB reinforced its commitment to regulatory integrity by removing 206 illegal gambling machines in 2024 and issuing six cease-and-desist letters. These actions, supported by tips from Michigan residents, highlighted the agency’s proactive stance against illegal gaming operations. The MGCB’s efforts earned national recognition, including being the first regulator to secure compliance from Bovada through a cease-and-desist order.

MGCB Executive Director Henry Williams was named 2024 American Gambling Awards Regulator of the Year for his leadership. Reflecting on the year’s achievements, Williams said, “Our success this year reflects the dedication and hard work of our team, as well as the trust and collaboration of the communities we serve. We are committed to ensuring that Michigan’s gaming industry continues to thrive in a responsible and sustainable manner.”

Outlook for 2025

With a strong foundation of 15 authorized operators offering iGaming and 12 providing internet sports betting, Michigan’s gaming industry is well-positioned for sustained growth in 2025. The MGCB remains focused on ensuring regulatory compliance, supporting community initiatives, and maintaining Michigan’s status as a leader in the gaming sector.
