The Michigan sports betting menu now includes minor league baseball.
Furthermore, baseball enthusiasts have the option to participate in a groundbreaking contest that is free to play and features various Michigan teams.
You have the option to place wagers on the Pit Spitters, Growlers, and Bombers, among others. However, bets involving the Whitecaps, Loons, and Lugnuts must be postponed for now.
One interesting observation: The names of minor league baseball teams are simply lovable.
Michigan recently removed ban on minor league baseball bets
According to Mary Kay Bean, spokesperson for Playinmichigan, the Michigan Gaming Control Board has recently made revisions to its Sports Wagering Catalog, eliminating the previous ban on subordinate developmental leagues.
However, it doesn’t imply that you can currently place bets on minor league baseball.
In July, the MGCB granted approval for betting on the Northwoods Baseball League, an independent league. More details about this league will be provided below. This marked a significant milestone as it became the first minor league baseball league to receive approval in MI.
She wrote that the MGCB will review and evaluate each request for approval of including such leagues individually.
The MGCB committee is responsible for reviewing operator requests related to specific sports, leagues, or betting markets.
Some states already offer minor league baseball betting
Michigan is progressively expanding its sports betting markets as a newly established state in the field.
In March 2020, when sports betting briefly commenced at the Detroit casinos, it was not yet possible to place bets on international club soccer matches or tennis.
Additional markets were subsequently included, along with more niche activities like drone racing.
Michigan has been surpassed by certain states in offering minor league baseball for betting purposes. Colorado recently introduced Triple-A games for wagering, while Indiana and New Jersey have also joined in. In fact, New Jersey has even approved bets on the local High-A Jersey Shore BlueClaws and the MLB Draft League Trenton Thunder.
In Michigan, betting on Major League Baseball, the KBO League in Korea, the Nippon Baseball League in Japan, the Chinese Professional Baseball League, and the IBAF World Baseball Classic is allowed.
No Michigan wagers requested for affiliated MiLB leagues
As of now, no operator in Michigan has expressed interest in accepting bets for the High-A Central league, which comprises the Great Lakes Loons (affiliated with the Los Angeles Dodgers) in Midland, Lansing Lugnuts (affiliated with the Oakland A’s), and West Michigan Whitecaps (affiliated with the Detroit Tigers).
No operators have shown interest in requesting markets for the United Shore Professional League, a four-team independent league located in Utica, a Detroit suburb.
In July, the Northwoods Baseball League, a popular 22-team summer college baseball league, including renowned teams like the Battle Creek Bombers, Kalamazoo Growlers, and Traverse City Pit Spitters, received authorization for wagering. Consequently, an operator is now seeking bets on the league.
Northwoods League has free-to-play app
This season, the NWL Lucky 7 promotion in collaboration with Chalkline offered fans of the Northwest League a daily opportunity to win a maximum of $100,000.
According to the announcement, players have the opportunity to win extra rewards. However, it is unlikely for them to secure a $100K prize.
For Wednesday’s contest, participants had to predict the winning team, the number of pitches thrown by the starting pitcher of the home team, the total hits, the players left on base, the total runs, the total strikeouts by the home team’s pitching staff, and the total walks in the game between the Madison Mallards and the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters.
The probability of being included in a betting platform’s database is significantly higher.
Chalkline offers operators and media companies the chance to convert users through their free play and real money games. It’s worth mentioning that the app, NWL Lucky 7, is proudly presented by William Hill.
In order to locate the contest, you can obtain the Northwoods League app from either the Apple App Store or Google Play. Alternatively, you may also discover it on the league’s or any team’s website by navigating to the GAMING tab. It is vital to note that participants must be at least 21 years old to partake.
