Summary
Illinois bettors can now use 10 legal mobile sportsbook apps, with online sports betting live in the state since June 28, 2020.
J.B. Pritzker signed the Illinois Sports Wagering Act in 2019, and the Illinois Gaming Board regulates the market for users age 21 and older.
March 2022 permanently ended in-person mobile registration, allowing bettors to open accounts remotely as long as they are physically inside Illinois when wagering.
Illinois also permits in-person betting at casinos, racetracks and off-track facilities, while college wagering still bars bets on in-state schools and all college player props.
