Filing venue

Where to File in Michigan

Michigan sports betting is regulated by the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) under the Lawful Internet Gaming Act. Cases are filed in the Eastern District of Michigan (Detroit) or Western District (Grand Rapids). The Michigan Consumer Protection Act (MCPA) provides a private right of action with potential statutory damages. Michigan's proximity to major sports markets (Detroit Lions, Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings) and the integration of sportsbook promotions with professional sports partnerships create a particularly aggressive marketing environment that plaintiffs cite as contributing to addiction.
