Illinois USA are now able to wager online
The state House in Illinois approved a plan to expand horse race betting to the Internet, allowing state residents access to online gambling. State residents of Illinois USA are now able to gambling online. Lawmakers in the State legislature decided that it was a good idea to let people in Illinois place there bets from the comfort of their own homes. Approving a bill which had already advanced through the Senate will let participants bet on horse races at online web sites. Video gambling machines were legalized throughout the state just a few days previous to the passing of the new bill. The large majority of 87 to 27 passed the new rules and at the same time voted down another proposed piece of legislation, for expansion of existing casinos in Illinois. State legislators were still not sure as to how the UIGEA Federal ban might affect this online gambling move in the State. New Hampshire and North Dakota have experienced difficulty with the Federal law, when those states online conducted lotteries were curtailed when in fact they were supposed to be exempt from any prohibition. 
In the state new online accounts can be established and real money betting can be placed from your own home computer. Losses and gains are enabled from your online gambling account, just as with other online prohibited casinos and card rooms. Those who supported the bill said it will receive significant tax revenues from the new online rules for gambling on the horse races. It is expected the horse racing industry will also benefit from the move with an increase in interest and participation in the sport. $1.5 million doesn’t sound like a lot of money these days but that’s how much the state thinks it will make in revenue.
