Sports bettors in Illinois wagered nearly $822 million in May. That’s more than any other state except New York. May is traditionally a slow month for sports betting, but Illinois sportsbooks took in 7.5% more bets and pocketed 40% more revenue than they did in May of 2022. The taxes from Illinois sports betting amounted to $14.4 million, up 32% from 2022.
