January 19 2021 - 2:25PM
DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) today announced the upcoming launch
of its mobile Sportsbook and Casino app for January 22nd. Fans in
the Great Lakes State can soon place bets on their favorite leagues
and teams through America’s top-rated sportsbook app as well as
play a variety of iGaming options such as blackjack, roulette and
slots. The launch of DraftKings Sportsbook in Michigan follows an
expansive year during which DraftKings broadened its national
sportsbook product footprint to include Colorado, Illinois, Iowa
and Tennessee. Upon successful launch on Friday, the company will
be live with mobile sports betting in 11 states, which is more than
any other company in the industry.
“Foremost, we would like to thank Bay Mills for their tremendous
support in bringing DraftKings to the great state of Michigan,”
said Jason Robins, DraftKings co-founder, chairman and CEO. “We are
confident that our mutual commitment to product innovation and
customer experience will serve as a solid foundation as we soon
introduce Michiganders to the signature DraftKings experience.”
The historic Bay Mills Resort & Casino is the state’s
longest-operating gaming facility and has been instrumental in
providing access to DraftKings’ online sportsbook and casino to the
state of Michigan.
“We look forward to officially launching our partnership with
DraftKings and bringing a new aspect of gaming entertainment to our
fellow Michiganders,” said Bryan Newland, Indian Community
Chairman, Bay Mills. “Online gaming and sports betting will help
our tribe and our casino move solidly into the future.”
In addition to DraftKings’ wide array of traditional and unique
betting opportunities, customers in Michigan can expect several
promotions, including those related to the four professional sports
teams and a number of Division I collegiate football and basketball
programs. As DraftKings is now an official sports betting and
casino partner of the Detroit Pistons, customers can play
team-specific, free-to-pay pools, odds boosts and more.
To celebrate the eventual launch, DraftKings is offering new
customers in Michigan two Double Your Money opportunities
including:
- Friday, January 22: Double your money on the Detroit Pistons to
score a 3-point shot
- Friday, January 22 – Sunday, January 24: Double your money on
any NFL team to score a Conference Championship touchdown
DraftKings Casino features a wide variety of games within its

exclusive offerings that will all become available to Michigan
