The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has approved 888 Holdings as the new platform provider for the Hannahville Indian Community’s internet sports betting site.
The Hannahville tribe, which operates Island Resort and Casino in Harris, Michigan, entered into an agreement with 888 after TwinSpires, the original platform provider, noted its plans to exit the business earlier this year.
“The site will operate under the Sports Illustrated brand name,” a statement from the MGCB read. “At this time, the tribe and 888 Holdings have requested the MGCB to authorise internet sports betting only. They likely will seek approval for internet gaming later this year.
“TwinSpires will no longer be offering online sports betting or online casino services.”
