Share May 03, 2021, 8:34 AM In late January, Michigan opened the doors for online gambling and sports betting. In the first 10 days, the Michigan Gaming Control Board announced operators collected $42.7 million in gross receipts from home betting. The state also saw a huge jump in calls to the Michigan Problem Gambling Helpline. In February, the state took 563 gambling addiction line calls, up more than five times from February 2020, the Lansing State Journal reports. Michelle Malkin, a Ph.D. candidate studying problem gambling at Michigan State University s school of justice, tells the paper: Casinos are at limited capacity right now because of the pandemic. The only thing that could really [explain] this is the growth of online gambling. Because that s really the only big change that s happened in Michigan.
It s been exactly a month since Michigan s casinos were allowed to launch their online gambling apps, and Michiganders are still very excited about gambling from their own homes.
The casinos are also very excited about online gambling and have already raked in a combined $115 million between 11 casinos across the state.
Michiganders have been very vocal on social media about their love of online gambling and CasinoInsider.com has tracked tweets, hashtags, and other online trending data to determine that we love online gambling more than any other state. The data showed that Michiganders were on social media promoting online gambling more than any other state, but that data should be a bit biased because we are the state that most recently allowed online gambling.
