Before placing wagers on a mobile app, bettors were required to complete in-person registration at a local casino, under the state's gambling law signed in the summer of 2019.
However, the state’s top official waived that provision in June 2020 with Executive Order 2020-41, enabling Illinois residents to open a betting account on their smartphones without having to complete the in-person registration.
The original in-person registration is now reinstated since Illinois Gov. chose not to renew an executive order allowing state sports fans to register remotely to gain access to digital wagering options.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has not renewed an executive order allowing sports fans to open a betting account remotely as it is “no longer needed.”
