With the demise of Barstool Sportsbook Michigan, ESPN BET Michigan was born.

A 10-year, $1.5 billion licensing deal with ESPN to be the brand name on the new sportsbook.

What To Know About ESPN BET Michigan

ESPN BET Michigan is now live! 

First, it’s worth noting that ESPN BET Michigan is the rebranding of Barstool Sportsbook Michigan, which has been around for a few years now. 

The Barstool Sportsbook Michigan retail sportsbook in Greektown, Detroit, it was rebranded as well, giving sports bettors in Michigan the chance to bet on sports both on mobile and in person.

Here’s how the deal worked out. Basically, PENN agreed to pay ESPN $1.5 billion in cash over the next 10 years, plus grant ESPN $500 million of warrants to buy 31.8 million common shares of PENN. 

Also, PENN sold Barstool back to Dave Portnoy for $1, and he won’t be able to create a new sportsbook as part of a non-compete clause. ESPN BET is open up in 16 states where Barstool Sportsbook had a presence, including Michigan. 

The rebranding happened on November 14th and it rebranded all Barstool apps and retail locations to the new ESPN brand instead. ESPN was in the market to partner with a sportsbook for a long time, and it even had discussions with industry leaders FanDuel and Draftkings to partner with them.

However, the purchase prices to partner with those apps were apparently too high, and when the opportunity came to partner with Barstool Sportsbook, ESPN couldn’t say no. The end result is the creation of ESPN Bet in 16 different states, which is now live!

What Happened To Barstool Sportsbook Michigan?

Barstool Sportsbook Michigan is being rebranded into ESPN BET Michigan after the sports entertainment company signed a licensing agreement with PENN to put the ESPN brand on its app.

Why Did PENN Replace Barstool Sportsbook With ESPN BET?

PENN replaced Barstool with ESPN because it saw an opportunity to take naming rights from the world’s leading sports entertainment brand. While Barstool is a big name in itself, ESPN is a brand name that is known all around the world. 

When PENN decided that it wanted out of its deal with Barstool, it sold it back to its founder Dave Portnoy for just $1. That opened up PENN to start working with ESPN, and it led to the creation of ESPN BET. This sports betting app is expected to open up its digital doors on November 14th, hopefully by Thanksgiving, in time for NFL betting.
