Illinois is up and running with state-licensed online sportsbooks this March Madness.
Illinois lawmakers passed legislation allowing for sports wageringback in June of 2019 but the state was slow at implementing rules and regulations.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Governor Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker temporarily lifted the requirement to register on-site and that was continuing into the early part of 2021. This allowed those in the state to register their betting accounts online or via their mobile devices.
Remote registration will be open through March Madness.
