Can't Bet Super Bowl Props Online From Illinois

If you live in Illinois, you can bet with newly licensed in-state sports betting apps. You cannot bet a whole host of Super Bowl prop bets with the likes of Draftkings, FanDuel, etc... Our friends at BetOnline are still accessible from Illinois and happily offering hundreds of novelty Super Bowl props from the state of Illinois such as the time of the National Anthem and Gatorade Bath.

So what gives?

The Chicago Sun-Times reports Illinois Gaming Board Administrator Marcus Fruchter has instructed the agency to only allow bets on “activity directly within the control or jurisdiction of the NFL and or individuals subject to the NFL integrity policy.”

Fruchter admits novelty bets are good for the growth of the gambling industry, but it’s paramount that sports wagering be conducted with the highest standards of integrity.

So far, sports betting in Illinois has brought in over $1.4 billion in wagers in just under a year.

The amount of money wagered, topped $449 million in November, a slight increase from the $435 million bettors shelled out in October. Gamblers lost more than $41 million on those November bets, generating almost $7 million in tax revenue.
