Online casinos in Illinois: what the law says
Illinois licenses retail and online sports wagering; online casino gaming is not legal.
No licensed online casino in Illinois
Illinois's regulator lists online casinos as not legal. IGB states these are 'the only operators authorized by the IGB to conduct sports wagering activities in Illinois.' Only rows carrying an entry in the page's 'Online' column are listed; retail-only rows (Bally Bet Sportsbook in the Quad Cities / The Rock Island Boatworks, Fanatics Sportsbook at Hawthorne Race Course, The Sportsbook at Hollywood Casino Joliet / HC Joliet, Wind Creek Chicago Southland's Sportsbook / Wind Creek IL) are excluded. IGB separately flags Harrah's Metropolis and Harrah's Joliet as 'Not Operational'. The page carries no published as-of date.
Sports betting is live: the regulator lists 10 online sportsbooks, among them DraftKings, Caesars, FanDuel, BetMGM.
