Despite several setbacks in recent years, State Rep. Edgar Gonzalez Jr. is determined to reintroduce iGaming legislation in 2025.earlier this week, Gonzalez said that despite the failure of recent online casino bills, he's determined to reintroduce iGaming legislation in 2025.
“Our priority this session was the budget, and although igaming was presented as a potential new revenue stream for the state, members of the House and Senate were wary of its implementation, especially after VGTs expressed opposition to the bill,” Gonzalez told PRO on Monday.While Gonzalez and other Illinois legislators have previously introduced bills that would allow the state to join the iGaming pack, attempts to bring online casinos to the state never materialized..
A similar bill, Senate Bill 1565, was sponsored by State Sen. Cristina Castro and introduced several times. But much like Gonzalez’s legislation attempts, it failed to make it past the committee. Both bills proposed that online casino operators licensed by the Illinois Gaming Board would operate up to three ‘skins’ and pay a 15% tax on Gross Gaming Revenue .
Illinois won't see any progress in iGaming legislation until the General Assembly meets in January. At that time, both Gonzalez and Castro could reintroduce their bills to the assembly.If you choose to make use of any information on this website including online sports betting services from any websites that may be featured on this website, we strongly recommend that you carefully check your local laws before doing so.
