Golden Nugget Sportsbook Michigan Review 2023

Golden Nugget is a legendary gambling brand, and now Michigan welcomes Golden Nugget Sportsbook to its legal online sports betting fold. Our Golden Nugget Sportsbook review will bring you the site’s best features, bonus details, and sports betting options. We’ll walk you through how to open an account, and the easy steps to make a deposit and withdrawal.

Golden Nugget Sportsbook makes wagering on your favorite sporting event and team simple and fun, giving its players several betting markets to choose from, including parlay, futures, and teaser plays. Best of all, Golden Nugget Sportsbook app and desktop site are easy to navigate and fast to use so you’ll never miss out on all the action.

Before you make any online sports betting plays at Golden Nugget Sportsbook, make sure to check out their current bonus and promotional offers. These can be found at the top of the page at the “Promos & Rewards” button. Each day there are special “Odds Boosts” available which can cover a variety of sports and games. Golden Nugget Sportsbook also offers a running “Parlay Boost” promotion which will add 3% or more to your winnings depending on the number of picks played in your winning parlay. Both of these boosts are automatically added to your totals as long as you meet the required terms and conditions. Of course, there is the Golden Rewards Club loyalty program which will also give players other perks and promotions with each bet made.

The first thing that catches your attention at Golden Nugget Sportsbook is that it is easy on the eyes. Their “dark mode” look cuts the glare normally associated with desktop and phone screens, making perusing the site much easier. We also enjoyed the numerous prop bets available across the site, whether it be which player may score in a certain game or the ability to bet on future outcomes like who0 will be the MLB Rookie of the Year or its home run champion. Golden Nugget Sportsbook gives you plenty of fun options to make enjoying sports even easier.

There is a lot to like about Golden Nugget Sportsbook. We felt that finding upcoming major US sporting events would, at times, be more difficult than one would expect. Because they offer betting on so many different sports, upcoming NBA, NCAA or MLB games would be buried on the page under live or upcoming foreign sporting events. Also, while we liked their alternative point spread and totals, for some games there were almost too many options from which to choose. If streamlined just a bit more, Golden Nugget Sportsbook would be hard to beat.

If you are like us, you use your phone more than your computer. Thankfully, Golden Nugget Sportsbook app is available for either Android or iOS. The easiest way to get the app is by visiting Golden Nugget Sportsbook on your phone’s browser of choice. When you land on their home page, you are immediately prompted to download their app which takes less than a minute to get and install. Once you grant the app its needed permissions, including accessing your location, you will ready to bet.

The app is easier to navigate than the Golden Nugget Sportsbook’s desktop site. Finding the game you want as well as all of the betting market options for it is a breeze. The app is very smooth, and its permanent dark mode setting is very easy on the eyes. Making a deposit or withdrawal on the app takes just a few clicks, and finding your bets – both active and settled – can be done quickly with the “My Bets” button. And while you wait for your game to start, accesses Golden Nugget Casino can be done with the simple click of a button.

Pick a sport, any sport, and chances are you can bet on it at Golden Nugget Sportsbook in Michigan. Not only are NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and NCAA basketball and football legal to wager upon, but you can also bet on soccer, golf and tennis matches from all over the world. Fight fans can bet on both UFC and boxing matches, and racing fans can attempt to pick the winners in NASCAR and Formula One races.

Michigan Teams you can bet on

Sports betting in Michigan allows legal wagering on all of the state’s major sports team, including:

NFL: Detroit Lions
NBA: Detroit Pistons
MLB: Detroit Tigers
NHL: Detroit Red Wings
NCAA Football: Michigan Wolverines, Michigan State Spartans, Eastern Michigan Eagles, Western Michigan Broncos
NCAA Basketball: Michigan Wolverines, Michigan State Spartans, Eastern Michigan Eagles

Golden Nugget Sportsbook offers you all of the expected betting markets. The most popular of which is the point spread, offered for every major team sport. Here, you will need to pick the winning team against the listed point spread. Golden Nugget Sportsbook makes things interesting by offering not just one point spread for a game, but multiple which are given different odds depending on how far removed it is from the primary line. They make similar traditional and alternate totals lines for their over/under betting market as well. Golden Nugget Sportsbook also allows for Teaser bets. In this sort of play, you can move the point spread further in your favor. For a Teaser play here, you must select two betting options and the type of Teaser plus the amount you wish to wager. The odds will be automatically adjusted based on your wager. Of course, moneyline wagering is available for all team and individual sports as are futures bets.

Parlay bets are increasing in popularity, and given some of the incredibly high payouts possible from them, it’s easy to understand why. A parlay bet is when you make three or more bets on one or multiple games and tie those bets together into one play. You must get every leg of your parlay wager to win in order to collect, but the more legs of the parlay bet you make, the higher the odds are and the more you win. Golden Nugget Sportsbook offers their “MVParlays: Quick Parlay” section, allowing players to create parlay bets easily with this feature.

Placing a bet is fast and easy. Simply locate the match on which you wish to bet. For example, the Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers NFL football game. Then, click on the type of wager (moneyline, point spread, totals) and the side you want to bet on, such as the Lions +3 at -110 odds. This selection will appear in your “Betslip.” Enter the amount you want to bet, and if that is the only play you want to make at this time, click on “Place Bet.” If you want to make more than one bet, or perhaps parlay or tease your play, you can do this within the “Betslip” feature.

Depositing and withdrawing money from your Golden Nugget Sportsbook account is fast, easy, and secure. As seen in the chart below, Golden Nugget Sportsbook accepts a variety of payment options, making transferring your money simple. One interesting feature at Golden Nugget Sportsbook is that under your “My Account” button on the right-hand side of the desktop screen, your will see three balances: your cash balance, your casino bonus balance, and your sportsbook bonus balance.
