This bill amends the Sports Wagering Act to clarify that gambling on Illinois collegiate teams is generally prohibited, with a specific temporary exception allowing in-person bets on certain types of games until July 1, 2024. It establishes strict rules for who can place bets, requiring individuals to be at least 21 years old and physically located within the state. The legislation also mandates that online sportsbooks must clearly warn customers about potential fees when using credit cards for deposits and requires the use of official league data for determining the outcomes of most sports events.
