Online Betting a Hit in Illinois
One of the biggest ongoing stories in the Illinois industry is the in-person registration requirement.
The Illinois Gambling Act was written to require people to visit a casino to sign up for sports betting accounts. But in 2020, COVID-19 had other plans. As a result of the pandemic, Gov. JB Pritzker suspended the in-person registration requirement twice in 2020. Once in June and again in August.
But in March of 2022, legislation came into effect allowing Illinois residents to sign-up online for sportsbooks, rather than doing so at one of the state’s land-based casinos. The decision to allow residents to register online with one of the state’s seven legal sportsbooks has been a boon to the industry.
As a result, Illinoisans have had ample time to register for sports betting accounts on their mobile devices. And they’ve certainly taken advantage. Today, some 94% of Illinois sports bets were placed online.
