LETTERS ISSUED TO ALLEGED ILLEGAL GAMING PLATFORMS

The Illinois Gaming Board says it has issued more than 60 cease-and-desist letters to entities allegedly operating illegal online casino and sweepstakes gaming platforms in Illinois.

The letters demand that entities allegedly operating the platforms immediately block Illinois residents from accessing their internet sites or discontinue offering prizes to Illinois users.

The IGB said operators who fail to comply may be subject to civil or criminal penalties.

ILLINOIS AUTO INSURANCE RATES DROP

A new report says Illinois saw a 7.2% decrease in average full-coverage car insurance costs in 2025, saving Illinois drivers an average of $138.
