ILLINOIS SPORTS BETTING – BETMGM LAUNCHES ONLINE SPORTSBOOK IN ILLINOIS!
BetMGM has launched its online sportsbook in Illinois!
Legal sports betting launched in March of 2020, and online betting went live three months later, but bettors were required to register at retail sportsbooks before they could wager online.
The great news is in-person verification ended on March 5, 2022, and BetMGM now enables Illinois residents to easily sign up and start wagering on their favorite sports today right from their mobile devices or desktops.
BetMGM now brings the excitement of sports betting to the Prairie State. The IL online sportsbook provides sports bettors with the opportunity to try their luck on their favorite sports and teams, with a wide range of excellent wagers.
Be sure to check out BetMGM’s welcome offers for new sports bettors in Illinois, including a First Bet Offer of up to $1,500 paid back in Bonus Bets if you don’t win!
