FanDuel Michigan Sportsbook Review

FanDuel came on the scene in 2009 before online sports betting was legal in the U.S. and gained popularity in the online daily fantasy sports market. It was purchased by Paddy Power Betfair in May 2018 and later launched its first sports betting operation in the U.S. at the Meadowlands Racetrack in New Jersey. 

FanDuel entered into a partnership with the Motor City Casino to launch its first sportsbook in Michigan and began its online betting operations in January 2021. After becoming one of the first online operators in the state, it’s now the most popular sportsbook in Michigan and is the number one sportsbook in the U.S. in 2022. 

FanDuel Sportsbook online is regulated by the Michigan Gaming Control Board, which is the agency that oversees all gambling operations within the state. To date, FanDuel Michigan has total sports betting handle of more than $2.1 billion and over $213 million in revenue. This has generated over $13 million in taxes for the state. 

FanDuel Michigan Features

FanDuel Sportsbook offers its customers a top-notch online experience, with many excellent features designed to keep bettors engaged:
