The legal gambling age in Michigan is not always what it seems.

With 23 tribal casinos across Michigan, three commercial casinos in Detroit, and online gambling on the horizon, the legal age to bet ranges from 18 to 21.

In fact, many of the state’s tribal gaming facilities have a lower age for entrance than Detroit.

But while Central Michigan University students can gamble at Soaring Eagle Casino Resort in Mount Pleasant at 18 years old, those same students won’t be able to gamble online when it goes live.

Here are the nuts and bolts of legally gambling in-person and online in Michigan.

How old do I have to be to gamble online in Michigan?

The legal gambling age at Detroit casinos has always been 21.

That’s true for Greektown Casino, MGM Grand Detroit, and MotorCity Casino, which are regulated by the Michigan Gaming Control Board.

Since online gambling will be governed by the MGCB, too, the legal gambling age for Michigan online players has a similar 21-and-older age requirement.

Online operators that partnered with any of Michigan’s 12 federally recognized tribes also face this same age requirement.

What’s the legal gambling age for Michigan tribal casinos?

Because tribes are sovereign entities and not overseen by the MGCB, each tribe sets its own age limits. So it varies based on the tribe.

Bay Mills Casino, Brimley
Island Resort Casino, Harris
Leelanau Sands Casino, Peshawbestown
Little River Casino Resort, Manistee
Northern Waters Casino Resort, Watersmeet
