Michigan Sports Betting Bill Tracker
Michigan has one of the biggest regulated sports betting markets that there is in the United States. It took just a year after the repeal of PASPA in 2018 for Michigan to come to terms with their own sports betting regulations before the market launched. This Michigan sports betting bill tracker is relatively short compared to other states being that their regulation process was not dragged out with multiple bills and efforts to bring Michigan sports betting to a reality.
