Brush Up On Caliente Interactive, Which Is On Track To Be Illinois’ Newest Sportsbook

It’s possible that you’ve never heard of Caliente Interactive, a fresh casino that is about to enter the Illinois market. & nbsp,

In the Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) meeting held on Thursday, the IGB deniedFubo Sportsbook’s request for an Illinois sportsbook license. 

Marcus Fruchter, the superintendent of the IGB, also mentioned that a second unidentified person for an unlicensed sportsbook withdrew its bid.
