DraftKings is the second-largest sportsbook in Michigan, partnered with the Bay Mills Indian Community for market access and serving as the official sportsbook of the Detroit Pistons and Detroit Tigers. This review covers the welcome offer, app, markets, and head-to-head comparisons.
DraftKings in Michigan at a glance
DraftKings launched in Michigan on day one of online betting (January 22, 2021) through its market access deal with the Bay Mills Indian Community. It sponsors both the Detroit Pistons and the Detroit Tigers and runs heavy in-stadium and broadcast advertising across the Detroit market.
Welcome bonus
The headline offer is "Bet $5, Get $200 in bonus bets". Unlike FanDuel's contingent offer, DraftKings pays out the $200 instantly after your first $5 wager settles — you do not need to win. Bonus bets are issued as 8 × $25 tokens and expire in 7 days.
Crown Rewards
DraftKings Crown Rewards lets you earn Crowns on every bet, redeemable for bonus bets, casino credit, merchandise, and tier upgrades. It's the deepest loyalty program in Michigan after BetMGM's M life.
