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.
