Barstool Sportsbook Michigan Review 2024

Partnered with Greektown Casino in Detroit, Barstool Sportsbook delivers a wide variety of online sports betting options for Michigan players. Every sport and league is well-represented with a slew of betting markets with several betting possibilities including parlays and alternative lines available for most of them.

The nice thing about Barstool Sportsbook is its sign-up process is fast, and they make depositing and withdrawing money just as easy. Downloading and using the Barstool Sportsbook app is recommended as it maximizes your sports betting experience with them. Check out our full Barstool Sportsbook review to learn everything that is available through this outlet.

Vetted, licensed and regulated by the Michigan Gaming Control Board, Barstool Sportsbook is allowed to offer legal online sports betting in Michigan with the passage of 2019’s Lawful Internet Gaming Act. The player must be within the borders of the state of Michigan and over the age of 21 in order to legally place a bet.

New players are welcomed to Michigan sports betting through Barstool Sportsbook with two bonuses. The first is a simple, free $10 in bonus cash to use in either the casino or at the sportsbook. But the main bonus is a $1,000 risk-free sports bet. The bet must meet specific criteria to qualify for the bonus. If it does and you lose that initial wager, you’ll receive that money back as credit in your account with which to make another qualifying bet. However, this bonus money must be used within seven days.

Barstool Sportsbook offers you several promos to take advantage of, but keep a sharp eye out as new ones are added all the time. Currently, they are offering players a free $5 for simply customizing your profile page. How can you not take advantage of that? Between 4-5 pm CST, Barstool Sportsbook brings you its “Power Hour” which offers discounted odds on select games during this one hour of the day. It’s worth checking out if you plan on wagering on any contest later in the evening. There are also the “Barstool Exclusives” which provide you with odds boosts on certain select games and events taking place that day.

Remember, you also earn MyChoice tier points and MyCash with every wager placed. Make sure to take advantage of these offers when you sign up with Barstool Sportsbook.

What Barstool Sportsbook delivers is a multitude of betting options. Yes, the usual moneyline, point spread and totals bets are available, but where Barstool Sportsbook shines is in delivering alternative lines along with a variety of in-game betting options. They make it feel as if you can bet on every potential in-game event imaginable. They also give you betting stats and trends for most games. Hopefully, this will help you become a more informed bettor rather than a hesitant, confused one. But having this information right there on the same page as each game is a welcome addition.

For good or for bad, Barstool Sports has developed an, let’s say, interesting reputation in the sports media world. Some of that carries into the Barstool Sportsbook realm as well. Is that bad? Well, it depends on how you view the company and some of its celebrities. Luckily, that attitude is somewhat downplayed at the sportsbook, but it still exists. Beyond that, we’d like to see the website’s functionality improve. The in-game pages are squeezed by an overlarge game banner which makes finding (or even reading) some bets difficult. Fix this, and the website would be excellent.

Available for both Android and iOS devices, the Barstool Sportsbook app is where it’s at when it comes to design and usage. Its color scheme and layout is easy on the eyes, and its operation is fast and smooth. Live wagering and odds update instantaneously, and tracking your wagers in the betslip is simple. All of the features available on the full desktop site are available on the mobile app. In fact, some of the promos and odds boosts seem easier to locate on the app as opposed to the desktop site. Since most sports betting is done on the go, it helps that the Barstool Sportsbook app operates as well as it does, making the experience very user-friendly. Find it at the Apple Store or Google Play as well as on the Barstool Sportsbook homepage. The download is free.

The question isn’t “which sports teams and leagues can you bet on?” but “which sports can’t you bet on?” At Barstool Sportsbook, virtually every team, league, and sport – no matter the country in which its played – is fair game. This includes the obvious and expected NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB games as well as the not-so-obvious sports such as rugby, cricket, darts and yes, even table tennis. Though there is no “search” feature available, it seems certain that you’ll be able to find whatever sport, game or event you want to bet on here at Barstool Sportsbook.

Michigan Teams you can bet on

Though it has been some time since a Michigan sports team has won a championship, that doesn’t mean you can’t feel like a winner by betting on your favorite franchise. Barstool Sportsbook provides odds for all of Michigan’s favorite professional and NCAA teams, including:

• Detroit Lions – NFL
• Detroit Pistons – NBA
• Detroit Tigers – MLB
• Detroit Red Wings – NHL
• Michigan Wolverines, Michigan State Spartans, Eastern Michigan Eagles, Central Michigan
• Chippewas, Detroit Mercy Titans – NCAA Basketball
• Michigan Wolverines, Michigan State Spartans, Eastern Michigan Eagles, Western Michigan Broncos – NCAA Football

There are a wide variety of bet types at Barstool Sportsbook. Not all can be found on the main page, however. To see every bet type available for a particular game or event, click on it to be taken to its individual listing. These are the main bet categories available sitewide:

• Moneyline: The simplest bet: pick which side you think will win with the posted odds.
• Point Spread: Betting on the side which you believe will cover a pre-determined margin of points.
• Totals: Often called the over/under, you bet on whether the total points scored by both teams will be over or under a set number.
• Parlay: A bet as a combination of other single wagers, where all “legs” of the parlay must win in order for you to win your play. A “round robin” is a variation on this wager type.
• Futures: A bet on a future outcome, such as a particular player to win the MVP or a particular team to win the league championship.
• Prop Bet: Usually this is a bet on an in-game event. Sometimes it will be related to a certain player (Will Player X hit a home run in today’s game?), other times it will be about a specific team (Will Team X have 5 penalties in today’s game?).

Barstool Sportsbook also will offer alternative lines with different odds on many games. Plus, there will be opportunities to wager on events such as the score at halftime or the score for the first five innings of a baseball game. These betting options can be found on each game’s individual page.

Given that signing up and depositing money is a snap, it’s no wonder than placing a bet is at Barstool Sportsbook is just as easy. Simply locate the game or event on which you wish to place a bet, determine in which market you want to bet, and click in the corresponding box which displays the current odds. Your bet will appear in the betslip. From there, you can determine how much money to wager and whether you want to turn that single play into a parlay, round robin, or if available, teaser bet. The potential payout for your bet will display in the betslip prior to placing the bet. When you have everything set the way you want it, simply click on “Place Bet” to complete your wager.

Barstool Sportsbook is a solid, well-rounded online sports betting outlet. While their shotgun approach to sports betting – with so many odds, games and options available – tends to overwhelm and even causes a loss of focus on what should matter the most, there is a lot to like here. We recommend using the Barstool Sportsbook app over the desktop site, and believe you would do well to give them a try next time you’re ready to place a bet.
