Lege TREND. Sorts Betting. Fantasy Sports. BAD ACTOR AMENDMENT.

To keep Draft Kings and Fan Duel out of Illinois, this amendment was proposed:

No sports wagering operator license or Internet sports wagering vendor license shall be granted to an applicant that has accepted, that has or had an affiliate that has accepted, or that has officers or directors who are or have been officers or directors of another party that accepted wagers through the Internet in contravention of any United States law, Illinois law, or any substantially similar laws of any other jurisdiction before the application date …

The legislators tied it to Attorney General opinions that found the two daily fantasy sports operators had operated illegally in Illinois.
