ADW will be illegal in Illinois effective Jan. 1
Advance-deposit wagering will be illegal in Illinois effective Jan. 1, 2013, because the General Assembly has failed to renew enabling legislation, the Illinois Racing Board ruled Dec. 18.
The IRB had expected the legislature to extend the law during its recently concluded veto session. It did not. Lacking legal authority to conduct ADW after the end of the year, the board rejected applications from the existing licensees.

What a shocker!  The state of Illinois is an embarrassment.

I'm dispointed with IL Government again as usual. But what would be even worse is if they actuall enforced this during the unapproved time. Several ADW's offered wagering to IL residents several years before IL legalized ADW's. However, now that those companies likely want to stay in the state's good graces, I don't know right now what they plan to do.
From my perspective at least, I can help believe that the IL State Goverment has to be one of the worst organizations for companies to do business with. Certainly for the gambling industries at least.

One cannot find a worse state to live in. 
I can't wait for my son to go to college...so I can get as far away from this place as I can possibly get.

Massachusetts has to be right up there on the one of the worst in the U.S. list I would imagine.

Gus, you're welcome here in Colorado. I know you don't necessarily need to go to the track, so having Arapahoe as our only track won't be a deal breaker!
Just leave Hanover where he is please.

Believe me maryland and new jersey can't be better. They'll tax a tax and find a fee for everything.

Funny...soooooooooo funny
Not a lot of 'good' states nowadays from a gov't perspective.
BTW - sounds like that at worst this 'ban' will be for Jan 1-3. Could be longer but I wouldnt be surprised if they fix this somehow before jan 1. Costs IL tax money that it desperately needs.

Are the ADWs going to contact their customers or just cut them off?
