Michigan is now the 8th state with a mobile sportsbook app from DraftKings. Chief business officer at DraftKings, Ezra Kucharz says after conducting a study, they found that Michigan offers good business opportunities. It was found that a third of its residents had interests in online sportsbetting with many of them having travelled to other states and even countries to do so. But, more than half of the population said they haven’t participated in online betting just yet, which DraftKings saw as a gap in the market.
