The state of Illinois allows sports betting and mobile online wagering.
Legal sports betting arrived in Illinois on March 9, 2020, less than a year after the Illinois legislature passed a bill that allowed for both online and in-person sports betting. The new law also allowed sports betting to take place at venues such as Wrigley Field. While sports betting is now legal in the state, betting is not allowed on a “minor league sports event” or any game involving “an Illinois collegiate team.”
