What I Need to Start My Own Online Sportsbook From Illinois
Starting your own online sportsbook from the state of Illinois is easy peasy but you'll need some help in doing so.
- You will need at least five customers (active sports bettors).
- You will need a top-of-the-line Pay Per Head to manage everything from live lines to 24-7 customer service to reporting.
- Some marketing skills that should employ social media.
- A lounge chair to go lay out on the lake since the Pay Per Head service pretty much allows you to operate on auto pilot.
How Can I as an Illinois Bookie Compete With The Big Boys?
- Currently, Illinois regulated sportsbooks are prohibited from taking bets on in-state schools and games that feature them.
- For the time being anyway, regulated sportsbooks require in-person registration.
- One can offer more enticing lines on Illinois teams, not to mention better bonuses.
- Anonymity and the ability to place bets on credit, something not available from the in-state books.
- Online poker and casinos not available on the in-state apps but they ARE using a top-of-the-line Pay Per Head.
