BetMGM Sportsbook became a high-profile player in Michigan online sports betting as the official sports betting partner of the Detroit Lions. But the global brand was already well-established in the state with MGM Grand Detroit casino.
Now BetMGM in Michigan can take the casino with them everywhere within state lines.
The BetMGM app offers a user-friendly mobile gaming experience, giving sports fans in Michigan the opportunity to customize pre-game, live in-play, futures and parlay wagers. App users can access. A standard two-team parlay with both teams listed at (-110), would pay out at +260. Note: A +260 payout for a two-team parlay at standard -110 odds is standard across all the online sportsbooks we review. Let’s say that you wager $5 on each of the three parlays.
With mobile and online sports betting launched in Michigan on Jan. 22, the BetMGM app is likely to become a popular destination for sports bettors no matter where they are in the state. The company’s partnership with the Lions figures to signal scores of promotions and prize opportunities during the NFL season.

New customers can sign up for a new account quickly and easily in Michigan.
Geo-location software in your phone or computer will make sure that you’re within state borders and legally able to proceed. Persons who work in a few certain professions are not allowed to make wagers, most notably those who could affect the outcome of sporting events such as referees, coaches or players. Certain employees of the gaming industry are also barred.

BetMGM accepts several forms of secure payments to fund and withdraw money from your account, including debit cards and major credit cards, and third-party processors. You can also do it in person.
To deposit, click “Deposit” at the top right header, select the desired deposit method, and follow prompts.
BetMGM deposit methods are:
You can normally withdraw your winnings from BetMGM using the same method you used to make a deposit. If withdrawals are not available using your deposit method, BetMGM will help you make alternative arrangements.
Acceptable BetMGM withdrawal methods include:
To claim your money, select the “Withdrawal” and click on your desired method. Then follow the prompts.
BetMGM allows bettors to “cash out” of some single and multiple bets, which means you can withdraw some winnings or return a portion of potential losses and end a bet even though the event is ongoing.
Check with BetMGM for specific “cash out” rules that apply to different games and leagues.
The “log-in” and registration buttons are located in the upper right corner, as with most online sports, with a menu of major sports betting markets conveniently just below in a horizontal banner.
Some timely parlays and bet boosters are high-lighted just below, with the design then ceding to the typical layout of live markets centered in the screen.
Bettable markets are also tabbed down the left margin and you can find your bets in the “Bet Slip” section on the right side of the screen.
Every major professional sports league – most importantly NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL – has a franchise based in Michigan and Michigan State compete in the storied Big Ten conference. Other smaller, but popular universities abound as cheering, and now, betting options.
Michigan’s pro sports royalty is the Detroit Red Wings, with 11 Stanley Cup championships in the National Hockey League team.
In the National Basketball Association, the Detroit Pistons are three-time champions.
The Detroit Tigers could be on the verge of a renaissance with a coveted crop of young players soon to take the field.
Detroit Lions interest remains high as the frustration for a team that continues to rebuild.
Futures wagers available at BetMGM are all about long-range predictions on the outcome of league championships, player awards or sundry performance targets.
Think Matthew Stafford will lead the league in passing next year? Then futures wagers are a great avenue to give sports betting a try.
How about the league MVP or which college star will be the top draft pick in the NBA draft? Bettors can make wagers on these markets before the season even begins or as it’s underway (the odds are better for you the earlier you bet) and then wait to see how they pan out. It’s getting paid for seeing something before anyone else.
We had three fantastic games Saturday during NFL Wild Card Weekend and the games only get better Sunday. With three games now on each day, it sets up endless opportunities for bettors. So without further ado, let’s take a look at our top NFL Wild Card parlay prediction for Sunday’s slate.
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated 9:25 a.m. ET.
The Titans enter this game as 3-point home underdogs. That doesn’t make a ton of sense considering Tennessee has already beaten Baltimore this season. While it’s true the Titans have one of the league’s worst pass defenses, the Ravens aren’t the type of team that can expose them in that area.
This is a game in which both teams are going to want to run the ball early and often, but the game will ultimately be decided by which quarterback plays better. Given their recent playoff history, Titans QB Ryan Tannehill inspires more confidence, especially with his arsenal of weapons at receiver.
The Titans aren’t a bad bet on the spread (+3, -105), but the value is here on the money line. Tennesee has a great chance to win this game at home and advance to the second round of the playoffs.

It’s hard to trust Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky much in a playoff game, but the recent history of Saints QB Drew Brees isn’t much better. New Orleans has one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, but their quarterback play over the last month has been less than ideal.
The Bears likely won’t win this game, but as double-digit underdogs on the road with no fans? That seems like a little bit too much. We know Chicago has a great defense and should make things difficult for Brees and Saints head coach Sean Payton.
If the Bears’ offense can score into the low-20s, they should have no problem covering this spread. There is also some backdoor cover potential here for the Bears as they could easily score late and get this within 10 in the final minutes.

Despite the Browns being without their head coach and several key players such as OL Joel Bitonio, CB Denzel Ward and DE Olivier Vernon, the Steelers are just 6.5 point favorites in this game. In the first meeting of the season, Pittsburgh dominated from the opening whistle. That game was never a contest and Cleveland was much healthier than they are entering this Wild Card matchup.
Pittsburgh’s defense should dominate in this game and it’s hard to envision Cleveland scoring more than 17 points. For that reason, the Steelers should cover with ease as they will face a defense that can’t stop opposing quarterbacks at all.
