Online gaming wagering taxes, including iGaming, online sports betting, and fantasy contests, accounted for the majority, bringing in $400.9 million. An additional $100.5 million came from casino wagering taxes on table games, slot machines, and retail sportsbooks.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond funding education, the MGCB allocated tax revenue to several other initiatives. These included public safety programs, responsible gaming campaigns, and support for the agricultural and equine industries. One key effort, the \u201cDon\u2019t Regret the Bet\u201d campaign, aimed to promote responsible gaming and even earned an Emmy Award for its impact.<\/p>\n<p>In Detroit, commercial casinos contributed $264.8 million in city wagering taxes, underscoring the city\u2019s role as a hub for gaming activity.<\/p>\n<p>The MGCB also took steps to address illegal gambling across the state. In 2024, the agency seized 206 illegal machines and issued six cease-and-desist letters, relying on tips and cooperation from Michigan residents to identify unlawful operations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Katsubet\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Katsubet.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/katsubet-casino\/\" title=\"Katsubet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katsubet<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>5BTC or 111% + 111 Free Spins!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
