Legal data last verified
Illinois legalized sports betting under the Sports Wagering Act of 2019, and the first retail bet landed at Rivers Casino in March 2020. The in-person registration requirement frustrated early adopters but was permanently repealed in March 2022, unlocking the full mobile market.
The Illinois Gaming Board licenses master and management sports wagering operators. In June 2024, Governor JB Pritzker signed HB 4951 replacing the flat 15% AGR tax with a graduated scale running from 20% on the first $30 million of AGR up to 40% above $200 million. A year later, the FY26 budget added a per-wager tax effective July 1, 2025: 25 cents per online wager for the first 20 million wagers per licensee per year and 50 cents per wager thereafter.
