No. Sporttrade is not available in Michigan. Michigan does license online sports betting, but Sporttrade never held a license there, and the company has since exited the market.

As of February 2026, a Michigan resident cannot use Sporttrade. Michigan licenses online sports betting through the Michigan Gaming Control Board, but Sporttrade never held a license there. Its licensed states were Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, and Virginia. On top of that, Sporttrade ceased all wagering on 25 May 2026 and removed platform access for everyone on 26 June 2026 as it exited the online sports betting market.
Where a platform has wound down or never held a license in a state, we say so plainly. We would rather leave a gap than imply access that does not exist.
Michigan has a developed legal online sports betting market, regulated by the Michigan Gaming Control Board, which has operated since 2021. In principle, a licensed sports betting exchange could apply to serve Michigan residents. Sporttrade, however, never obtained a Michigan license. Its operating footprint was limited to Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, and Virginia.
Sporttrade ran a betting exchange model, where customers trade positions on game outcomes against each other and the platform earns a commission rather than a margin on losses. Building that out state by state is slow, because each state requires its own license and approvals. Sporttrade had not added Michigan to its list before its plans changed.
Those plans changed sharply in 2026. Sporttrade exited the online sports betting market, ceasing all wagering on 25 May 2026 and removing platform access for every user on 26 June 2026. The company has filed an application with the CFTC, posted in February 2026, seeking to relaunch as a federally regulated prediction market exchange able to operate nationwide. That application is pending as of February 2026, so there is currently no Sporttrade product a Michigan resident can use.
We are not showing an open account or compare module on this page because Sporttrade is not available to Michigan residents as of February 2026. Sporttrade wound down its sports betting operations in mid 2026 and never held a license in Michigan. We only point readers to a platform where it is genuinely legal and available to them. If Sporttrade relaunches under a CFTC approval and reaches Michigan, we will update this page and its review date.
Sporttrade ran as a licensed sports betting exchange in a small set of states, then exited the online sports betting market in 2026 and applied to the CFTC to relaunch as a prediction market. Confirm the live position with the platform and the regulators before relying on anything here.
Status as of February 2026. We never invent a citation, and where a position is contested we mark it as contested.
An unavailable platform is not a loophole to work around. Prediction markets and event contracts can lose you money. Stake only what you can afford to lose, never to chase a loss, and never on borrowed money. If betting stops feeling like a free choice, step back. In the United States you can call or text the national problem gambling helpline at 1 800 GAMBLER, or visit ncpgambling.org.
No. As of February 2026 Sporttrade is not available to Michigan residents. It never held a Michigan license and has since wound down its sports betting. This is general information, not legal advice.
Yes. Michigan licenses online sports betting through the Michigan Gaming Control Board. Sporttrade was simply never one of its licensed operators.
Before winding down, Sporttrade held licenses in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, New Jersey, and Virginia, not Michigan.
It ceased all wagering on 25 May 2026 and removed access for everyone on 26 June 2026. It has applied to the CFTC to relaunch as a nationwide prediction market exchange.
Possibly, if its pending CFTC application is approved and a federally regulated exchange is allowed to operate nationwide. That is unresolved as of February 2026.
