Questions before and after you play

A 90-second guide cannot cover every table moment. Tap a group, then a question — answers are short paragraphs, not one-liners.

01Michigan RGD

How do I self-exclude from Michigan online gaming?

Use the Michigan Gaming Control Board Responsible Gaming Database. Our rg-programs status stores the responsible-gaming URL and notes 1- or 5-year terms under MCL 432.312 for licensed internet gaming and/or internet sports betting. Licensed operators must honor the list. Unlicensed sites do not.

Does Michigan self-exclusion cover offshore sites?

No. The national self-exclusion guide already cites MGCB’s point that offshore operators have no duty to honor the Responsible Gaming Database. Enroll on licensed products; call 1-800-GAMBLER if you need help now.

02Advice

Is this page legal or medical advice?

No. It restates the Michigan RG status (checked Oct 13, 2026). Counsel notice appears automatically. If gambling is harming you, use the MGCB page or 1-800-GAMBLER.

03More questions people ask

Who regulates online casino in Michigan?

MGCB. The legal basis we recorded is: MCL 432.203 et seq.; age MCL 432.311 Status on October 13, 2026: live, minimum age 21. Use the regulator site, not an app store listing, to confirm.

How many licensed online casino operators are there in Michigan?

Our regulator file lists 15 active online casino licence records for Michigan as of our October 13, 2026 check. One company can run more than one brand, and a licence can be suspended between our checks. The MGCB list is the source of truth; we do not rank the operators or link to them.

Does the Michigan online list cover Detroit casinos?

The Michigan Gaming Control Board runs separate programs for internet gaming and for the three Detroit casinos. Join both if you want both covered. Tribal casinos in Michigan run their own programs.

Is there help besides self-exclusion?

Yes. The Michigan Problem Gambling Helpline is 1-800-270-7117, and 1-800-GAMBLER works nationally.

Can I end the exclusion early?

No. The term you choose runs to the end; at expiry you may need to request removal.
