Online Craps Michigan: Licensed Sites, Offers and Detroit Tables

Licensed online craps sites in Michigan

Every legal Michigan casino site sits on a list kept by the Michigan Gaming Control Board. The Board authorises each online brand as the platform provider for a license holder, and the license holders are the three Detroit commercial casinos and federally recognized tribes. If a brand is not on that list, it cannot take a real-money craps bet here.

The pairings on the Board’s list explain who you are dealing with. BetMGM runs under MGM Grand Detroit, FanDuel under MotorCity Casino and Hollywood Casino’s online site under Hollywood Casino at Greektown. DraftKings works with the Bay Mills Indian Community, BetRivers with the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians and Golden Nugget with the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community.

The tribal partnerships continue down the list. Caesars Palace Online operates with the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, Horseshoe Online with the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, and bet365 with the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians. Fanatics runs with the Lac Vieux Desert Band, and Hard Rock Bet with the Hannahville Indian Community.

Hard Rock Bet is the newest of the brands we cover. Its own Michigan page names Island Resort & Casino as its partner and gives a launch date of December 2, 2025. The Board’s list also carries tribal sites for FireKeepers, Four Winds, Gun Lake and Soaring Eagle, which sit outside the eleven brands in our comparison below.

What each site shows for craps

Online craps Michigan coverage is thinner than the lobbies suggest. BetRivers is the deepest confirmed option: a live Craps table, First Person Craps and Go Craps, all listed for Michigan. Hard Rock Bet lists First Person Craps and a computer-dealt Craps game there. Caesars Palace Online and Horseshoe Online each list Go Craps, the Play’n GO title.

The other seven brands list craps only in the New Jersey lobbies we could read. DraftKings shows six titles there, Golden Nugget five, and FanDuel, BetMGM and bet365 three each. Hollywood Casino shows two and Fanatics one. Some may run in Michigan too, but we will not claim a table we have not seen listed for the state.

Online craps Michigan comparison: every licensed brand

The table below puts the eleven Michigan online casino brands side by side. Titles marked Michigan are listed for the state in the operator’s own records; titles marked New Jersey lobby are what the operator shows there. The offer column answers one question only: does craps play count toward the current Michigan welcome offer?

Read the offer column before the ratings column. Eight of the eleven brands either exclude craps outright or limit their bonus to slots, and two leave craps unaddressed in the terms we could see. The eleventh is BetMGM, whose spins are for slots and whose wheel deposit matches do not say how craps counts.

The ratings are for each brand’s App Store listing, with the review count in brackets. They measure the app as a whole, not its craps table. FanDuel’s 4.8 from more than 200,000 reviews carries more weight than a 4.9 from fewer than 50,000, although BetRivers’ score is still the highest in the Michigan group.

Michigan casino bonuses and craps

We checked September 28, 2026 what each brand offers new Michigan players, and the pattern is blunt. Most welcome offers are built for slots, and several name craps as an excluded game. Offers change often and every one carries its own terms, so treat what follows as a snapshot of the rules, not a promise.

Offers that exclude craps by name

DraftKings asks for a $5 qualifying wager and pays 1,000 Flex Spins over 20 days, but craps and Electric Poker wagers do not count toward that $5. Golden Nugget lets you pick $50 in Crown Cash or 500 Flex Spins after a $5 wager, and its terms exclude craps games from both options.

BetRivers returns day-one losses up to $500 as bonus money, plus 500 Bonus Spins, with the code CASINOBACK. Its terms name craps, sic bo and related games as excluded. Hollywood Casino’s offer is simpler: bet $5 and get 300 Bonus Spins. Those spins are played on slots, so neither offer puts bonus value on the craps table.

Offers limited to slots

Caesars Palace pairs a $10 no-deposit bonus with a 100% match up to $1,000, and the bonus funds work on select slots only. bet365 matches a first deposit up to $1,000 with spins, wagered 15 times on a list of eligible slots. Hard Rock Bet returns first-day slot losses only, so table and live dealer bets never enter the calculation.

Horseshoe Online hands out 500 Bonus Spins in four bundles, and those spins cannot be used on table or live dealer games. For online craps Michigan players, every offer in this group works the same way: your dice play neither triggers the bonus nor clears it, so the offer only pays if you also spin slots.

Offers that do not mention craps

FanDuel gives 1,000 Bonus Spins on Huff N’ Puff slots plus a $25 casino bonus after a $5 first deposit, and the $25 credit may be used on table and slot games. Craps is not named either way. Fanatics offers up to $1,000 back in casino credit on day-one losses on eligible games, without listing which games qualify.

Those two are the only Michigan offers we read that do not shut craps out in plain words. That is not the same as saying craps counts. If the dice are the reason you are signing up, ask customer support in writing which games the credit covers before you deposit, and keep the answer.

The honest arithmetic for a craps player is simple. A slot-only bonus is worth nothing unless you want to play slots, and a loss-back offer that excludes craps pays nothing on a bad craps night. Pick the online craps Michigan site for its tables and limits first, and read any offer as a side detail.

Live craps Michigan: live dealer, first-person and bubble tables

Live craps Michigan players can confirm today sits at BetRivers, whose Michigan records list a live Craps table alongside its other two games. The operator does not name the studio or the limits on its tiles, and its game pages sit behind a login, so the stakes you see will depend on the table open when you sign in.

First-person craps is the format with the widest spread. Where an operator names the provider, it is Evolution’s First Person Craps, an RNG take on its live studio table. BetRivers and Hard Rock Bet both list First Person Craps for Michigan, which makes it the most widely available named title in the state.

Titles we could confirm only in New Jersey

Several better-known tables appear in New Jersey lobbies without a Michigan listing. DraftKings and Golden Nugget both show Bubble Craps Live from BlackThrone, with a $1 minimum on the standard table and $5 on the high-limit one. DraftKings also lists a live Craps table at $1 to $5,000 and the Andrew Dice Clay Craps variant.

FanDuel and Hollywood Casino post $0.50 to $5,000 on their Evolution live and first-person tables in New Jersey, and Fanatics shows the same range on its live table. We found no Michigan listing for any of those games, so if bubble craps is what you want, check the Michigan lobby after sign-up rather than assuming it carries over.

The practical reading is short. Online craps Michigan players can count on RNG craps at four brands and first-person or live craps at BetRivers and Hard Rock Bet. Everything else may be there, and our guide to live dealer craps explains how each studio format works, but only a Michigan login will show you.

What a Michigan craps session costs per hour

Speed is the hidden price of online craps, Michigan or anywhere else. A live table runs at studio pace, while an RNG game deals as fast as you press the button. The house edge on a pass line bet stays at 1.41% of each dollar decided on both, but a faster game decides more dollars in the same hour.

The per-roll figure makes that concrete. The pass line costs 0.419% of the bet per roll, so a $10 bet over 100 rolls costs about $4.19 on average. Triple the pace on an RNG screen and the same habit costs roughly $12.57. A $10 field bet on every roll costs $55.56 per hundred rolls, which is thirteen times more.

Set your own stake and pace in the calculator and the gap between the line and the center of the layout shows up in dollars. The cheapest plan does not change online: bet the pass line or don’t pass, add odds behind it when a point is set, and leave the one-roll bets alone.

Signing up for online craps in Michigan

Two conditions apply to every real-money bet: you must be 21 or older, and you must be physically inside Michigan when you play. Residency does not matter. A visitor from Chicago can open an account from a hotel in Grand Rapids, while a Detroit resident across the river in Windsor cannot place a single bet.

An online craps Michigan account needs your name, date of birth, address and the last four digits of your Social Security number. The site checks those against official records while you wait. If the automatic match fails, expect a request for a driver’s license, state ID or passport. Accounts that turn out to belong to anyone under 21 are closed.

Geolocation near the borders

Before each session the site confirms your position through GPS, Wi-Fi or a desktop location plug-in, and it repeats the check while you play. Michigan has awkward edges: Detroit faces Ontario across the river, the Upper Peninsula meets Wisconsin, and the south borders Indiana and Ohio. A phone near any of them can pick up a signal from outside.

Joining a local Wi-Fi network usually clears a false reading, and moving a little inland from the Detroit River often helps. A VPN does the opposite, since licensed sites treat it as a reason to block play and can freeze the account. Switch it off before you open the app, and keep location services on for the whole session.

Deposits and withdrawals

Michigan cashiers carry the familiar list: debit and credit cards, online banking, e-wallets at many operators and prepaid cards, and some sites let you collect cash at the cage of a partner casino. Not every brand offers every method, so open the cashier page before your first deposit and confirm the withdrawal route you want exists.

Withdrawals generally go back to the method you deposited with, and the first one can take longer while the operator completes its identity checks. After that, online banking and e-wallets are usually the quickest routes. Our bankroll management guide helps you size a deposit to the stakes you plan to play, which is the sounder order of decisions.

How to check a craps site is licensed in Michigan

Before any online craps Michigan sign-up, open the Michigan Gaming Control Board’s list of authorized online gaming and sports betting platform providers. It names each brand next to the Detroit casino or tribe it works with, and it links to the brand’s Michigan casino address. A site missing from that list holds no Michigan license, however polished its lobby looks.

The operator’s own footer and terms should match the list. bet365, for example, states that Hillside (Michigan) LLC is licensed by the Michigan Gaming Control Board in partnership with Odawa Casino, and quotes an internet gaming license number. BetRivers names Rush Street Interactive MI and Little River Casino Resort. Fanatics names the Lac Vieux Desert Band.

A few warning signs settle the question faster. Any site that takes Michigan players without a location check is unlicensed here, and so is a cashier that accepts only crypto. Operating without a Board license is a felony in Michigan, so an offshore site offers you no recourse at all if it refuses to pay a withdrawal.

Land-based craps in Michigan

Online craps Michigan play is only half the picture. Our directory counts 16 Michigan casinos with craps: thirteen deal a live dice game and three Kewadin properties in the Upper Peninsula list an electronic version. Fifteen are tribal casinos, and MotorCity Casino Hotel in Detroit is the one commercial casino in our data with a table.

Published limits are rare. Ojibwa Casino Baraga lists a $3 minimum with 5x odds, and Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant and Kewadin Casino Sault Ste. Marie both publish 10x odds. At 10x, a $5 line bet can carry $50 behind it at true odds. Everywhere else, call the table games desk before you drive.

A few Michigan casinos add side bets to the felt. Four Winds New Buffalo lists Bonus Craps and a progressive called Bonus Spin Xtreme, and Turtle Creek Casino & Hotel near Traverse City lists the Super Shooter. They pay big on rare runs, and our side bets guide shows they cost far more than the line with odds.

Responsible gambling in Michigan

Licensed online craps Michigan sites must offer deposit, spending and time limits, and the Board runs a Disassociated Persons List that bars enrolled players from the Detroit casinos and licensed online sites. Set a deposit limit before your first session, at a figure you could lose every week without noticing. Our responsible gambling page explains each tool.

If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call Michigan’s helpline on 1-800-270-7117, free and confidential. Then look at the next online table before you sit down: note the minimum and the maximum odds it allows, because those two numbers, not the bonus banner, decide what an evening of craps in Michigan costs.
