Takeaways from March’s Michigan OC Revenue
Along with a record month of revenue, here’s a few other notable takeaways from Michigan iGaming in March.
- FanDuel Casino set a new record for a Michigan operator in a single month with $85.8 million in revenue. The previous best was set by FanDuel in December, when it recorded $76.9 million in revenue.
- Six different operators recorded over $20 million in revenue for the first time in Michigan’s history. BetMGM Casino ($71.5 million), DraftKings Casino ($40.1 million), BetRivers Casino ($25.3 million), Hard Rock Bet Casino ($21.6 million), and Fanatics Casino ($21.5 million) all cleared the mark, along with FanDuel.
- After its record debut in December, Hard Rock Bet had seen its monthly revenue decline month-to-month in January and February. March saw a slight uptick from $20.2 million in February to $21.6 million in March. This is a positive sign as Hard Rock settles into its place in the state.
- Play Gun Lake, also known as betParx Casino Michigan, put up a record monthly total for its platform at $4.94 million. The online casino now has surpassed $4 million in monthly revenue for the last eight months as it closes in on $5 million for the first time. The betPARX Casino promo code offer is one of the stronger around, so it could be providing the extra push for the operator in Michigan.
- April’s revenue report will be interesting as it will include bet365 Casino Michigan for the first time. The new operator debuted on Friday in the state, taking over the license left behind by PokerStars. A recognized brand in the US, we could see a significant amount of revenue come in from the new MI online casino.
