2    (20 ILCS 1605/7.18 new)
3    Sec. 7.18. Internet gaming; Division of Internet Gaming;
4powers.
5    (a) The General Assembly finds that the Internet has become
6an integral part of everyday life for a significant number of
7Illinois residents, not only in regards to their professional
8life, but also in regards to personal business and
9communication. Internet wagering on games of chance and games
10of skill is a core form of entertainment for millions of
11individuals worldwide. In multiple jurisdictions across the
12world, Internet gaming is legal, regulated, and taxed,
13generating billions of dollars in revenue for governments.
14    The General Assembly further finds that Illinois residents
15participate in illegal on-line gambling on unregulated
16Internet websites operated by offshore operators who are not
17subject to regulation or taxation in the United States. Neither
18federal nor Illinois laws provide sufficient consumer
19protections for Illinois residents who play games of chance or
20skill on these illegal websites, nor does the State realize any
21benefits from the revenues generated by illegal on-line gaming.
22    On September 20, 2011, the United States Department of
23Justice issued an opinion reversing its previous
24interpretation of the federal Wire Act, 18 U.S.C. 1804,
25allowing states, subject to certain restrictions, to legalize

 

 

09700HB4148sam003- 12 -LRB097 17765 AMC 70198 a

1and regulate Internet gaming and capture the revenue for the
2benefit of state governments. The Department of Justice's
3opinion was prompted in part by a request made by the
4Department pursuant to Public Act 96-34. In order to protect
5Illinois residents who wager on games of chance and skill
6through the Internet, and to capture revenues generated from
7Internet gaming, it is in the best interest of the State and
8its citizens to regulate this activity by authorizing and
9establishing a secure, responsible, fair, and legal system of
10Internet gaming that complies with the United States Department
11of Justice's September 2011 opinion concerning the federal Wire
12Act. It is also in the best interest of the State to establish
13an Internet gaming platform consistent with the provisions of
14this Section to ensure that Illinois is not precluded from
15reaping the benefits of Internet gaming as contemplated by
16proposed federal legislation pending before the United States
17Senate.
18    The General Assembly additionally finds that pursuant to
19the federal Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006
20(UIEGA), 31 U.S.C. 5301, the provisions of this Section
21prescribe a lawful exemption to UIEGA and specifically
22authorize use of the Internet to place, receive, or otherwise
23knowingly transmit a bet or wager where Internet wagering
24complies with this Section and rules adopted pursuant to this
25Section.
