In-State Sportsbooks Coming to Wrigley Field?

Sports betting could be available from in-state operator as early as the 2020 Super Bowl.

Among the many venues that will be dedicated to sports wagering are expected to be Wrigley Field and any one of the state's casinos and horse racing tracks.

For the first two years (through 2021), those individuals looking to bet via their mobile devices will need to register at a retail outlet or physical sportsbook.  Of course, the offshore sportsbooks allow anyone 18 and up to join via their mobile devices, iPads and laptops.

Bets can be taken at venues such as arenas, ball parks, horse tracks and casino with a capacity of at least 17,000 people.

Each location will have to receive a separate license from the Gaming Board.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed a law authorizing a massive expansion of gambling in the state, including a downtown casino at a yet-to-be-determined location.  This followed a year after the US Supreme Court ruled to permit sports wagering throughout the US providing individual states amended their own laws if necessary.
