Why Illinois is Such a Lucrative Market for Bookies

- State teams such as the Fighting Illini, Wildcats and Ramblers have enjoyed success of late in college basketball.
- While lawmakers are trying to push legislation that allows for bets on in-state teams, action can only be taken in-person had designated retail locations such as casinos and potentially arenas. Mobile sites will be prohibited from doing so.
- In-person registration is required to open an online sports betting account with a state regulated site at this time.
- One can offer more enticing lines on Illinois teams.
- Online poker and casinos not available on the in-state apps but they ARE using a top-of-the-line Pay Per Head.
