One of the few states that really understood sports betting during the legalization process was Michigan. Brand Iden, the recently appointed vice president of government affairs for Fanatics Betting & Gaming, formerly in a similar role with Sportradar, was the state senator in Michigan who really drove the process. And by including iGaming in the package, Michigan immediately vaulted to the top of the list when it comes to states that are getting the most out of online gaming. Iden explains how the bill was handled and what hurdles he had to overcome to get it passed. He spoke with GGB Publisher Roger Gros at G2E in Las Vegas in October.
