Common Questions In Illinois
We answer questions about gambling, betting and bonuses from Illinois residents.
Are online sportsbooks legal in Illinois?
Yes, Illinois legalized online betting back in 2020. All companies shown on this page have received permission and a state license to operate legally.
Can I play online casino in Illinois?
No. Real-money online casinos are prohibited in Illinois. It is however possible to play casino games at social casinos operating under the sweepstakes model.
Illinois is currently fighting some sweepstakes operators in the state regarding their dual-currency systems, which make it possible to bet and win real money on the games. As a result, many brands now only offer free-to-play games with no prizes.
Are prediction markets illegal in Illinois?
This is a difficult question to answer, as the legal technicalities are still being figured out. There are currently two camps in Illinois.
The state claims that prediction markets are considered illegal gambling in the state, and that the Illinois Gaming Board must approve of all operators in the state for them to be legal. Sports contracts are being particularly criticized.
The prediction markets on the other hand argue that they are licensed federally by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and that the federal licensing overrules the state legislation.
The same legal battle is currently being fought in many other U.S. states. In some, it has gone so far as the state issuing cease-and-desist orders to the operators, who in turn have sued the state. No legal conclusion has been reached in Illinois yet.
What is the legal gambling age in Illinois?
The general gambling age in Illinois is 21+, which applies to online sportsbooks and physical casinos.
Bingo, lotteries, charity games and alternatives to online betting, like daily fantasy sports, generally have an 18+ requirement.
Are betting bonuses really legit?
Yes, as long as the company offering them is legal and licensed in Illinois. Sign-up bonuses are simply a marketing stunt, and the sportsbooks hope that they will make a profit on players claiming the bonus in the long run.
Some people do however feel tricked by bonus offers if they misunderstand or don't read the terms. That's why it's important to always know what you sign up for. Pay particular attention to the turnover requirement, minimum deposit, minimum odds and expiration date, plus any special restrictions that might complicate things for you.
Does Illinois have a gambling tax?
Illinois does not have a particular gambling tax, but gambling profits are considered taxable state income. This means that the regular rate of about 4.95% is applied when you file your tax returns.
In addition, gambling winnings must also be reported on the federal income tax return. Federal tax, withholding 24%, is applied after certain thresholds are met.
