A worldwide technology outage is causing disruption to some State of Illinois online systems. We are aware of this issue and are diligently working on restoration.

The IGB is initiating a new public comment process to seek comments and proposals regarding two significant potential future video gaming rulemakings. First, the IGB is seeking comments for a rulemaking that would incorporate video gaming into the IGB’s Self-Exclusion Program for Problem Gamblers. Currently, the Self-Exclusion Program includes only Illinois casinos and sports wagering operators. Second, the IGB is seeking public comments and proposals on a potential future rule for implementation and regulation of cashless technology in video gaming. The IGB is seeking stakeholder input about these topics, including ideas about how to develop and implement both a cashless technology and the Self-Exclusion Program in video gaming. We are initiating this public comment process to explore the feasibility of both potential changes because we recognize the significance of these issues and value input from the public and stakeholders as an important part of our process.

Please submit all comments via our Online Inquiry Form [select Public Comments on IGB Rules under Category] by 5PM (Central Time) on January 13, 2025.
