superman888 The news comes a day after the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) announced it had started accepting licensing applications for both online sports betting and online casino operators. The regulator is in the process of finalizing a set of rules for these two new markets and now hopes to be ready to launch by October.

The MGCB has already cleared land-based sports betting for takeoff at the state’s three commercial casinos in Detroit, but the timing was unfortunate. The March 11 launch date was just 12 days before the casinos were shuttered by the coronavirus lockdown.

PointsBet has been making inroads into the US since the collapse of the federal prohibition on sports betting in 2018, with operations in Iowa, New Jersey, New York, and Colorado.

In January, the Australian company signed a deal to provide land-based and online sports betting in Michigan in partnership with the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians, which owns the Northern Waters Casino.
