In a statement, FOX Bet CEO Kip Levin said that by creating an account, Michigan players can access all three platforms: FOX Bet Sportsbook, PokerStars and The Stars Casino.
Along with promotions via FOX's college football and NFL broadcast, FOX Bet's Super Six contest has been one of the brand's biggest hits. The sportsbook includes all of the major American sports leagues, such as the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB, and also allows betting on college programs both in and out of state.
Michigan Goes Live with Sports Betting
Michigan's long-awaited gambling launch took place in late January, with the launch of nine online casinos. Meanwhile, the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB), the state regulator, is in the process of reviewing additional applications and may authorize more submissions.
The state hopes to generate additional taxes at a time when state closures have depleted tax revenue. Michigan will charge 8.4% on all sports bets with the online gambling rate ranging from 20% to 28% and Detroit casinos may contribute an additional municipal fee in addition to any taxes required by law. Online gaming tax revenue will be divided.
