Illinois HB5077 regulates fantasy contests, requiring licenses, setting fees, and imposing duties on operators.
HB5077 amends the Sports Wagering Act to regulate fantasy contests in Illinois. It mandates that only licensed operators can offer fantasy contests, with fees for application and renewal. Operators must implement measures to prevent underage participation and verify participant identities. The Illinois Gaming Board is tasked with overseeing these activities, including conducting background checks on applicants. The bill also establishes a voluntary self-exclusion program for participants and imposes a privilege tax on operators.
