New Senate bill calls for report into potential Illinois online casino revenue
| By Nosa Omoigui
A bill calling for a report into the estimated revenue generated from legal online casino gaming within Illinois has been filed to the state’s Senate.
Senate Resolution 285 would show how much money would have been made had a privilege tax been introduced for online gaming in February 2020.
The report is also urged to include projected revenues with a privilege tax imposed on AGR’s at rates of 12%, 15% and 16%, as well as 20% of any AGR in excess of $25m.
