Illinois in-person registration requirement returns
| By Nosa Omoigui
In-person registration has been re-introduced in the state of Illinois after Executive Order 2020-41, which suspended Illinois’ in-person registration requirement, expired at midnight on 3 April.
From 4 April onwards, new customers for sports betting operators will be required to register in person before being able to place any bets online.
The order was first signed off by Illinois govenor J.B. Pritzker, initially brought into place due to the novel coronavirus (Covid-19), allowing players to register online rather than travelling to a physical sportsbook.
