Reacting on the expansion, DraftKings chief business officer, Ezra Kucharz said:

“Through a commitment to provide customers with a premier sports betting experience, DraftKings is happy to partner with Bay Mills Resort & Casino.”

“The Great Lakes State presents a number of gaming opportunities and we look forward to collaborating with Bay Mills to provide residents with the best-in-class experience DraftKings is known for.”

Tribal chairman for the Bay Mills Indian Community, Bryan Newland noted:

“We are excited about our new partnership with DraftKings. Expanding on what entertainment options we can offer at Michigan’s longest operating gaming facility is always our goal.

“Our new on-site DraftKings Sportsbook will be one more great reason for Michiganders to vacation with us in the Upper Peninsula.”

The most recent agreement will also enable Michigan sports lovers to place sports wagers in person at the Brimley-based casino venue. With this step, Michigan will become the next state to deliver a DraftKings-branded retail sportsbook, after Colorado, Iowa, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and New York.
