Rule 320 Petitions

The Video Gaming Act confers exclusive jurisdiction and authority upon the IGB to supervise all video gaming operations in Illinois (J&J Gaming Ventures, LLC v. Wild, Inc., 2016 IL 119870). Video Gaming Rule 320 allows a licensed establishment, licensed terminal operator, or other interested party to petition the Illinois Gaming Board to determine the validity or enforceability of a use agreement, or portion of a use agreement, that purports to control the location and operation of video gaming terminals.

The IGB requests all petition materials be submitted via our Online Inquiry & Submission Form. Once directed to this page, you will select Video Gaming Act Rule 320 Petitions in the first drop down menu labeled Category.

A licensed establishment, terminal operator or other interested party may file a petition to determine the validity or enforceability of a use agreement, or portion of a use agreement, that purports to control the location and operation of video gaming terminals. Each non petitioning party has an opportunity to respond to the petition. The Administrator considers the petition and responses and issues an Administrator's Recommended Decision. Each party has an opportunity to file exceptions to the Administrator's Recommended Decision. The IGB considers the entire record and issues a Final Illinois Gaming Board Order. The full detailed administrative process including, but not limited to, petition requirements and deadlines can be found in Video Gaming Rule 320.
