Already Raring and Ready

The state of Illinois is not wasting any time in the expansion of the state’s land and internet betting industry. Online casinos are banned throughout the United States as a part of Federal legislation but there is a growing movement within the state governments toward in-state internet betting. Land betting is already active in nearly every US state in some form or another, sports betting and horse racing are the most popular in the US. The Illinois government developed a new regulatory framework designed to expand land and internet gambling within the state with a large portion of the revenues going to the state government to flesh out the budget and fund more social and state programs.

The new online casino betting and gambling industry in Illinois is likely going to kick off the moment that the new regulations are passed. In fact, many anticipate that new internet betting efforts will begin the day after the regulations take effect. The new Illinois laws will allow the licensing of three gambling companies to legally operate land and internet betting for Illinois residents particularly. The online betting opportunities are currently limited to the horse racing industry in particular.

The gray area in the new Illinois regulations comes to the out-of-state online gambling. To comply with federal legislation the licensed internet casino betting operators will have to ensure that all servers for the activity are located within the state of Illinois and that out-of-state bettors are denied access to any internet betting opportunities. At this point the US Department of Justice has neither approved of these type of state initiatives nor has it voiced an objection.
