Hard Rock Bet Online Casino Is Live in Michigan

Hard Rock Bet operates a fully licensed online casino in Michigan, giving players statewide access to slots, table games, and live dealer options.

Michigan marks an important expansion for Hard Rock Bet, which continues to grow its regulated U.S. online casino footprint. Michigan players can now sign up, deposit, and play real-money casino games through the Hard Rock Bet platform.

A welcome offer is available for new users who register and make a qualifying deposit.

Prior to its launch in The Mitten State, Hard Rock Bet provided plenty of information as to what Michigan online casino players could expect upon launch.

With it now live, the Hard Rock Bet Casino bonus code is also now available in Michigan.

How Has Hard Rock Bet Performed Since Launching in Michigan?

Hard Rock Bet launches its online casino and sportsbook in Michigan in December 2025, entering one of the most competitive regulated iGaming markets in the U.S.

Based on official monthly reporting from the Michigan Gaming Control Board, Hard Rock Bet makes an immediate impact.

December 2025 Performance

In its first month live, Hard Rock Bet generates $35.7 million in Michigan online casino revenue. That debut places Hard Rock Bet fourth among all Michigan iGaming operators for the month, an unusually strong showing for a brand-new launch.

For context, the previous operator using the same license produces well under $1 million per month prior to exiting the market, highlighting how quickly Hard Rock Bet gains traction with Michigan players.

January 2026 Performance

In January 2026, Hard Rock Bet reports $23.1 million in online casino revenue, again ranking fourth statewide. While lower than its launch month, the total still reflects a strong and stable user base following the initial rollout.

Early Revenue Takeaway

Across its first two full months of operation, Hard Rock Bet generates approximately $59 million in cumulative Michigan iGaming revenue. That total already exceeds what the prior license holder produces over multiple years combined.

The operator runs under a tribal partnership with the Hannahville Indian Community, which owns and operates Island Resort & Casino. All activity takes place under state regulation and ongoing oversight.

What the Numbers Suggest

The early revenue data shows that Hard Rock Bet enters Michigan as a top-tier competitor almost immediately, rather than building slowly over time. The brand’s recognition, casino-first focus, and aggressive early promotions appear to translate directly into real wagering activity.

Michigan Online Casino License For Hard Rock Bet

Hard Rock Bet Casino is licensed in Michigan

Hard Rock Bet operates in Michigan through a partnership with the Hannahville Indian Community, which owns and operates Island Resort & Casino.

When Michigan launched online casinos in 2021, the state authorized 15 licenses tied to land-based casino operators. The Hannahville Indian Community’s online casino license became available after its previous online partner exited the Michigan market.

After receiving regulatory approval from the Michigan Gaming Control Board, Hard Rock Bet is approved to offer both online casino games and sports betting to eligible Michigan residents.

Now that Hard Rock Bet Michigan is active, it has a special promo code offer for its Michigan users.

Just make a minimum deposit of at least $10 to earn 200 bonus spins on a featured slot game. You also will receive your first 24 hours of net losses from online slots refunded in a casino bonus, up to $1,000. The nice aspect of this promo offer is you don’t need an actual code and the playthrough requirement is just 1x. This offer is the same as the current New Jersey online casino offer from Hard Rock Bet.

Along with the new user offer, Hard Rock Bet Casino will also have consistent leaderboard competitions, as well as a Daily Mystery Wheel.
