The Michigan online poker market began its journey in 2021. In just two years, significant progress has been made. Today, three well-established operators are actively offering online poker games. Moreover, the Wolverine State is now an active member of the Multi-State Internet Gaming Agreement (MSIGA), with one operator taking advantage of this pact. More could be on the way.

Michigan’s total market size in cash game traffic is currently just over 400 cash game seats filled. Before the merger, the three individual MI online poker operators reported an average of just north of 250 concurrent seats during this period.
