The online betting market in Michigan has set a new standard.
The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) says that the total amount of money made from online gambling hit $352.3 million in October 2025.
This was the highest monthly total since the site began. Two hundred and eighty-five million of that came from online casino games alone. Once more, iGaming was the main driver of Michigan’s digital gaming economy.
These new numbers show how quickly Michigan has become one of the most important places in the US for online gaming. The new high of $352.3 million in October was 12.7% higher than the previous high of $312.5 million set in August.
It was also 38.9% higher than October 2024 and 16.4% higher than September 2025. The $278.5 million in iGaming income was 26.2% more than the previous year. Almost four-fifths of all iGaming revenue in the state came from online casinos.
As the market matures, Michigan’s casino players now sit inside a much broader global ecosystem. This ranges from locally licensed brands tied to Detroit’s land-based operators to international, crypto-facing platforms.
The latter emphasise fast, ID-free sign-up, wallet-based banking and quick crypto payouts, positioning themselves as a streamlined alternative to traditional onboarding. Round-ups of online casino no ID sites regularly highlight how players can register with just an email address and move straight into large lobbies of slots, table games, and live-dealer titles.
The last few months of 2024 were record months for online gambling in Michigan. At that time, casinos, not bookies, were the main source of those totals.
Gross iGaming revenues reached $226.0 million in November 2024, which was a new high at the time. This was up from $220.7 million in October 2024. In December, iGaming revenues rose to $244 million, setting a new high bar. This proved that casino games had become the most popular type of online gaming going into 2025.
The 2024 MGCB study, which comes out every year, shows how skewed Michigan’s online market is towards casino games. For the whole year, commercial and tribal operators made $2.4 billion from iGaming gross receipts and $460.5 million from internet sports betting. This made a total of $2.861 billion in income from online gambling, which is 23.8% more than the previous year.
The total amount of money that came in was $2.594 billion, which included $466.1 million in taxes and fees and $501.4 million that went to the state School Aid Fund. The MGCB had 15 approved online operators by the end of 2024, and that number has stayed pretty steady through 2025.
Now, the record set in October 2025 doesn’t seem like a one-time jump. Instead, it seems like the latest step in a three-year rise that began when regulated online games started in January 2021.
Michigan is one of the few US states that allows online casinos as of late 2025. This helps explain why so much of the country’s iGaming revenue is concentrated in just a few states.
