Illinois stands to benefit from legalizing online gaming. New Jersey has had I-Gaming since 2013 and it's been a success. Illinois should allow mobile sports betting platforms to offer traditional casino games. iGaming is the digital alternative to taking a trip to a land-based casino. It's also the perfect complement to sports gambling. People in Illinois can log in to an offshore website or app and play blackjack with a dealer in Costa Rica. They can do it here. iGambling is regulated and taxed by the state. In September, New York generated $18.5 million in tax revenue from IGaming.
Charles Gillespie is the Chief Executive of Gambling.com Group. He believes that regulated I-Gaming is safe and offers a legal alternative to offshore casinos. I Gaming allows casinos to track a person’s betting activity and uses state-of-the-art technology to assess risk and offer interventions aimed at reducing problem gambling issues. Gillespie urges Illinois lawmakers to make IGaming legislation a priority in the 2022 session.
