Gonzalez is committed to reintroduce the matter for consideration in 2025, despite these obstacles.<\/p>\n<p>iGaming has already been allowed in seven states in the US, enabling licensed operators to provide real money online casino games on mobile and web platforms. Illinois, though, has not yet been included to this expanding list in spite of several prior legislative attempts.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Legislative Efforts and Challenges<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In February 2023, Gonzalez introduced House Bill 2239 with the goal of legalizing <a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/casino-news\/the-status-of-online-casinos-in-illinois-an-overview\/\">online casinos in Illinois<\/a>. The bill encountered significant hurdles, including delays in committee assignments and ultimately failing to progress beyond the House Rules Committee.<\/p>\n<p>State Senator Cristina Castro has also championed iGaming legalization through Senate Bill 1565, which faced similar obstacles in advancing through the legislative process.<\/p>\n<p>Under the terms of both proposals, internet casino operators with an Illinois Gaming Board license might run up to three \u201cskins\u201d and pay a 15% tax on gross gaming revenue (GGR). This strategy is based on effective initiatives that have been seen in other states where internet gaming is permitted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"Mirax Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mirax-Casino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/mirax-casino\/\" title=\"Mirax Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mirax Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>350% or 5BTC + <strong>150 Spins!<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
