The Michigan Gaming Control Board approved bet365 on 17 April as the Odawa tribe's replacement for PokerStars.

Correction, 16 October 2026. The report has been narrowed to the regulator's announcement. Unsupported rankings and market-wide figures have been removed.

On 17 April 2026, the Michigan Gaming Control Board approved Hillside Michigan LLC, trading as bet365, as the online gaming and sports betting platform provider for the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians.

The regulator said bet365 replaced PokerStars, which had left the Michigan market, and had completed the licensing and regulatory requirements for the role.

This is a Michigan approval for a named operator and tribal partnership. It is not permission to offer online casino games across the whole United States. Nor does the approval notice supply a live table inventory. Readers comparing bet365 across countries should use the local service and its own terms.
