Stop the Internet Casino Gambling Bills

Bills were introduced in both the Illinois House (HB2239 and HB2320) and Senate (SB1656) that would allow gambling operators with Illinois licenses to offer online casino-style gambling. This would massively increase the addiction risk currently posed by online gambling avenues like sports betting, creating new and even more deadly opportunities for secretive 24/7 gambling activity that prey on those prone to addiction. Previous attempts to pass this type of legislation have been blocked but we are highly attentive to these bills in the current session. Look out for forthcoming actions including joining us in Springfield to oppose these bills.
