Industry News for the Week of May 11, 2025

Industry News FanDuel launched a new responsible gaming feature that uses machine learning to alert customers when a deposit appears out of step with their historical behavior. The company debuted its “Real-Time Check-In” on Wednesday at the SBC Summit Americas in Miami during a panel on responsible gaming. The feature uses customer-level data, including gameplay, bonus history, withdrawals, and deposit trends, to forecast a user’s expected deposit on a given day. Michigan The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) reported that Detroit casinos produced $109.8 million in April revenue. It’s a slight dip from March, which is always one of the top months of the year. Revenue totals prior to the pandemic are likely in the rearview. April’s total in 2025 lines right up with last year. Detroit properties grew slightly, at a 0.3% year-over-year. Since 2022, slot and table games revenue at Detroit casinos has remained relatively consistent during the month of April. The Michigan Gaming Control Board continued its mission to eliminate the illegal Michigan sports betting market with more cease-and-desist letters this week. This week, the MGCB sent letters to four unlicensed gambling operators offering Michigan sports betting and online casino. The operators have 14 days to cease Michigan operations before the MGCB pursues additional legal action. North Carolina The push to raise NC sports betting tax rates is still in progress, but groups are opposing the proposal. Last month, the North Carolina Senate passed its proposed budget, which includes doubling the NC sports betting tax rate to 36% from 18%. The House has not released its proposed budget yet. Sportsbook operators and anti-tax groups are pushing back. Ontario Ontario sports betting regulators are asking the media for help shutting down the black market. This week, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario said it has communicated with more than a dozen media companies to stop promoting unregulated Ontario sports betting operators. That includes companies like Bodog, which the AGCO called out specifically in its release. Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Senator Chris Gebhard introduced a comprehensive bill that outlines a regulation and tax structure for skill games. Pace-O-Matic (POM), a Georgia-based skill game manufacturer, has opposed the bill. The sponsors of Senate Bill 756 wrote out a 183-page bill that lays the groundwork for skill games in Pennsylvania. Gebhard’s bill calls for a 35% tax. The games would also be under the jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB), which would oversee where the games are located.
