Four Winds Sportsbook is the sports betting platform launched by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians. In addition to operating retail sportsbooks at all four of the Four Winds branded casinos, the Band also runs an online sportsbook and mobile sports betting app.

This piece will take a look at the features and benefits of Four Winds Sportsbook Michigan as well as offer an objective review of the platform. At the end, we’ve provided an overall score for Four Winds Sportsbook based on several key performance areas.

Common promos on Four Winds Sportsbook Michigan

Four Winds Sportsbook tends to be sparse on promotions, with most of the offers targeting casino players instead of sports bettors (even the welcome bonus is casino-only). The one offer we were able to find was a Parlay Profit boost, giving players a 10% profit boost on all winning parlays of at least three legs (and -200 odds or longer on each leg).

Furthermore, the Rewards Program seems to be limited to casino gaming, so there isn’t a way to earn additional betting bonuses like there is on the casino side.

With that in mind, here are a few of the other types of bonuses we’d like to see Four Wind Sportsbook add.

  • Bonus Bets: Bonus Bets are a form of sportsbook credit that allows a user to place wagers without needing to use funds from their bankrolls. They are usually placed as their own stake but can sometimes supplement a real-money wager for an increased profit.
  • Second-chance bets: A common welcome bonus offer, second-chance bets award players betting credit after a wager that settles as a loss. The credit amount often matches the initial stake dollar for dollar, so players have another opportunity to have a wager resulting in a win.
  • Deposit matches: Deposit matches award bonus bets or site credits in an amount proportional to the amount of money used while funding an account. For example, a 100% deposit match would award $100 in sportsbook credit after a $100 deposit. Some sportsbooks (like ESPN Bet) have offered a 200% deposit match, giving players even more bang for their buck.

Yes, Four Winds Sportsbook is legal in Michigan. The Michigan sportsbook operates in retail capacities at the Four Winds Casino locations in Dowagiac, New Buffalo, and Hartford; online platforms are available on the web and through the mobile app.

A fourth Four Winds location is available in South Bend, IN.

Four Winds Sportsbook retail locations in MI

Four Winds Sportsbook evolved out of the casino chain of the same name. As a result, you can collect the winnings from your online wagers in person at several Four Winds locations throughout MI.

Four Winds also operates a casino in South Bend, IN, roughly 20 minutes past the state border on the southwest side of town.

Four Winds mobile app in Michigan

The Four Winds mobile betting app in Michigan has both the sportsbook and online casino platforms available within the same program. Unlike the web platform that converts your wagers to a QR code to bring to the casino to place, the mobile app allows you to lock in wagers directly.

This makes the app a preferable option, as odds can change between the time you create your bet slip and the time it takes to travel to the casino and place your wager.

You can download the Four Winds app from the Google Play Store (3.1/5 rating) and the Apple App Store (2.7/5 rating).

How to download the Four Winds app on iOS

You can download the Four Winds sportsbook app on your iOS device in a matter of moments. Here’s how.

  1. Open the App Store on your iOS device.
  2. Search for “Four Winds Casino.” The full app name is “Four Winds Online Casino MI.” Don’t let the “casino” name fool you; the sportsbook platform is part of the app, and you don’t need to play at the online casino if you don’t want to.
  3. Press “Get” then enter your Apple ID and Password to begin the download process.
  4. Once the app is installed, you can create a new account or log in with your existing credentials and begin making your bets.

How to download the Four Winds app on Android

Downloading the Four Winds app on an Android device is a quick process as long as you’ve got a steady internet connection. Here’s how to download it today.

  1. Access the Google Play Store on your Android device
  2. Search for “Four Winds Online Casino - MI.” The casino and sportsbook platforms are both available through the same app, but you’re welcome to only use one online gambling tool if you wish.
  3. Press “Install” and wait for the download to complete.
  4. After the installation finishes, log into your Four Winds account (or set up a new one) to start gambling.

Is betting on college sports allowed on Four Winds Sportsbook in MI?

Yes, betting on college sports is allowed on Four Winds Sportsbook in MI. Michigan law allows betting on college sports, including in-state teams.

The web browser platform does not actively display odds for college sports, so you’ll need to rely on the mobile app or visit one of the Four Winds properties to place your college sports bets.

Pros and cons of Four Winds online sportsbook in MI

There are many pros and cons to consider before deciding where to spend your money while betting on sports. To help you make a well-informed decision, we’ve highlighted a few of the important benefits and drawbacks of Four Winds online sportsbook.

Pros

  • Pre-made Same Game Parlays: For many games each day across sports, pre-crafted same game parlays are available for you to play at the push of a button. These parlays mix game results (such as moneyline wagers) with player props for a seamless experience.
  • Integrated with Casino Platform: The online casino and online sportsbook platforms won’t require you to keep separate bankrolls or download multiple apps. Instead, it’s all there in one convenient location.
  • User-friendly mobile app: While the mobile app is somewhat simplistic in its layout, this makes it incredibly user-friendly for novice sports bettors.

Cons

  • Customer Support Isn’t Available 24/7: While Four Winds has live chat, phone, text, and email support methods, these are only available from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM daily. Otherwise, you’re stuck working through FAQ pages to try to find the information you need.
  • Bonuses are casino-heavy: Those looking for a sportsbook that offers frequent and generous bonuses will be underwhelmed by Four Winds’ availability. The 10% parlay profit boost is a good starting point, but expansion is needed.
  • Geolocation issues in rural areas: Four Winds has worked to improve its geolocation features throughout the state, but players in rural areas noted app issues, including the app glitching while adding bets to the slip or blocking players from viewing odds altogether.

Our expert opinion on Four Winds Sportsbook Michigan

In our expert opinion, Four Winds Sportsbook Michigan is a decent sportsbook but it has a long way to go to gain popularity throughout the state. It is unlikely to be in your rotation for anything other than odds shopping.

The lines are often close to other Michigan sportsbooks, so there can be minor variances in odds favorability from time to time. However, we fear the lack of bonuses, limited customer support availability, and app geolocation issues will be a deterrent for casual bettors.

MIBetting has given Four Winds Sportsbook Michigan an overall rating of 3 out of 5. The overall rating has been based on these factors:

  • Welcome bonus: Rating X/5 Four Winds Sportsbook does not offer a welcome bonus for sportsbook users, only online casino players.
  • Payment options: Rating 4/5 Money management is easy with relatively low deposit minimums ($10 or $20 depending on the payment method), and payouts usually land in player accounts within three business days.
  • Sportsbook App: Rating 4/5 There is a pleasant simplicity to the Four Winds Sportsbook app. It isn’t flashy, but it has an unproblematic display, making it easy to navigate between odds, past wagers, and the casino platform.
  • Variety & features: Rating 3/5 Four Winds Sportsbook has an ample array of betting markets, especially in several niche sports like snooker, table tennis, and lacrosse. However, the sportsbook needs to be included in the rewards program, and promotions are about as rare as hitting at 10-leg parlay. There is lots of room for growth here.
  • Customer support: Rating 3/5 Providing good customer support is important, but it goes beyond simple availability. Four Winds only has 12 hours of live assistance per day (9:00 AM to 9:00 PM), and the FAQ pages leave a bit to be desired; they are clunky to navigate and lacking in information at times.
