The data shows an increase of 26.8% compared to April 2024.

While revenue declined 4.8% month over month, the $248.1 million generated in April ranks third-highest of all time. The record was set last month at $260.5 million, while the number two, in January, was $248.2 million. 

April also marked the eighth consecutive month with iGaming revenue over $200 million.

The $248.1 million generated by Michigan online platforms means that, like in March, the state once again beat New Jersey for the number two spot in the US regarding gross gaming revenue.

While the Garden State also saw impressive yearly growth of 25.2%, online platforms generated $235.2 million. If the trend continues, Michigan could surpass New Jersey in total annual casino revenue for 2025. In 2024, New Jersey online platforms generated $2.39 billion, compared to the $2.2 billion in Michigan.

In a tight race for market dominance, FanDuel took the top spot in April with $67.6 million in revenue, ahead of BetMGM, which took in $64.9 million. The two operators have long battled for the number one spot. Last month, BetMGM led the way with just shy of $69 million, barely beating FanDuel’s $68.1 million.

The two operators’ revenue through April also showcases the close battle year-to-date. BetMGM holds a slight lead with $260.6 million, while FanDuel closely trails with $260.3 million, a difference of about $300,000.

In April, DraftKings remained firmly in third spot with $42.5 million. Notably, the platform was the only one to post month-over-month growth, increasing from $41.1 million in March.

While it didn’t record a monthly increase in April, Fanatics continues its strong performance. The platform generated $8.96 million in April, a slight dip from the $9.2 million it recorded in March.

Still, that result allowed it to climb to the number six spot, beating Golden Nugget Online Casino. The latter’s revenue of $7.3 million meant it recorded one of the most significant monthly declines, down from $11.8 million in March.

As the market continues to surge, MGCB has also done its part to help protect operators and consumers. The regulator, which has emerged as one of the toughest in the nation, has relentlessly pursued illegal operators.

Illegal or offshore platforms operate outside state regulation and tax obligations and are considered a threat to the regulated market by stealing potential taxable revenue.

As an effort to combat that, in April, MGCB sent 11 cease-and-desist orders to online casinos found to be “unlawfully targeting” Michiganders. Similarly, the regulator issued cease-and-desist orders to 10 other illegal platforms in March.
