Illinois Sports Betting: What the Government Isn’t Telling You Could Change Everything
FanDuel had already announced it was pushing that tax onto its customers, charging 50 cents per bet, starting September 1. DraftKings, on the other hand, is trying to fight the good fight, so to speak. Per ESPN’s David Purdum, “DraftKings anticipates taking action” against the Illinois government shortly. Whatever that means.Â
The Sports Betting Alliance, comprised of FanDuel, DraftKings, BetMGM, and Fanatics sportsbooks, aka “made men” of legal sports betting, slammed the bill. They called it “discriminatory, punitive, and constitutionally suspect,” according to Front Office Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel, an OutKick alum.Â
