If it is passed, the Internet Gambling Act will legalize online poker, online slots, and online table games.<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"4\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"4\">Currently, online casinos can legally operate in only five states &ndash; New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, and the newly launched Michigan market.<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"4\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"4\">The bills would allow anyone who is 21 or above to gamble online at state-regulated online casinos and poker rooms. The state&rsquo;s land-based casino operators and racetracks would be allowed up to three digital skins each. As there are ten casinos and two horse racing tracks in the Prairie State, it means the bill would authorize a maximum number of 36 online casinos. However, Illinois is unlikely to reach that number as even the iGaming market leader has fewer than 30.<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"4\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"4\">The bills also include a provision requiring individuals to register in-person to create online casino accounts for the first six months following launch. This is the same provisional requirement that Illinois sports betting had when the industry launched in March 2020. However, the 18-month in-person requirement for sports betting had been repeatedly waived by Gov. JB Pritzker during the most part of 2020 and still in place.<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"4\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"4\">The bill calls for an operator license fee, which would be renewable after four years.<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"4\">&nbsp;<\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><font size=\"4\">No Copyright infringement intended.
