Michigan Gaming Supplier License Application: Preparation Guide

Michigan’s supplier application supports several gaming-related license categories, including casino, internet gaming, sports betting, fantasy contest, and related supplier activity. The packet requires detailed entity, ownership, key-person, regulatory, litigation, tax, and financial disclosures.

Who uses Michigan Supplier License Application?

  • Businesses supplying gaming-related goods or services to Michigan casino or online gaming operators.
  • Certain non-gaming vendors that cross the current statutory or regulatory threshold.
  • Fantasy contest operators, management companies, and sports or internet gaming suppliers in covered categories.

What to prepare before you start

Build the evidence set first. It is faster and safer than guessing through the PDF and repairing contradictions later.

  1. 01

    Ask MGCB which license type and application apply to the exact activity.

  2. 02

    Create an ownership chart through all parent entities and natural-person owners.

  3. 03

    Identify key persons and determine which separate personal disclosures are required.

  4. 04

    Collect formation records, licenses, contracts, financial statements, tax records, litigation, and compliance history.

  5. 05

    Use current Adobe Reader/Acrobat and enable required document JavaScript.

  6. 06

    Confirm whether the online MAP portal, email, mail, or another channel controls submission.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Relying on an older PDF’s non-gaming threshold without checking current web guidance.
  • Describing a product too vaguely for MGCB to determine the license category.
  • Stopping the ownership chart at a holding company instead of tracing natural-person control.
  • Omitting applications, investigations, or discipline outside Michigan.
  • Opening the form in software that disables its JavaScript-dependent features.
  • Filing the main entity packet without required key-person disclosures.

PDF technology note

The packet is a large fillable PDF and warns users to use Adobe software with JavaScript enabled. Field automation is useful for repeated entity data, but conditional logic and appended schedules require manual validation.

Privacy and security

The application can contain ownership, tax, banking, litigation, and personal data. Limit access to the licensing team and use the transmission method currently specified by MGCB.

Frequently asked questions

Which Michigan supplier license do I need?

It depends on the product, service, customer, and gaming vertical. Use the official categories and ask MGCB when an activity could fit more than one.

What revenue threshold applies to a non-gaming supplier?

Do not rely on an undated summary. The reviewed PDF and current landing-page copy have not always shown the same figure, so confirm the current threshold with MGCB.

Why does the form require Adobe JavaScript?

The packet uses PDF scripting for some behavior and validation. A browser viewer or Preview may not run those features correctly.

Do owners need separate disclosures?

Often yes. The packet identifies owners and key persons, and MGCB can require additional personal or entity information based on control and role.
