The Illinois Gaming Board (IGB) has proposed new advertising and marketing rules for sports wagering, casino and video gaming as well as addressed several regulatory matters in a recent meeting.
IGB Administrator Marcus D. Fruchter said: “As part of the IGB’s ongoing work to reassess existing rules and measure the effectiveness of gaming expansion implementation, the IGB amended the current advertising and marketing rules for sports wagering to include additional safeguards and requirements and also make those rules applicable for the first time to casino gambling and video gaming.
“The new rules adopted today will provide uniform advertising regulation and standards across all Illinois’ gaming markets under IGB jurisdiction.”
The IGB is committed to maintaining the safety of Illinois gaming for Safer Gambling Week, and that includes working with Illinois operators, other government agencies, addiction specialists, and other stakeholders to encourage and facilitate responsible gaming, address problem gambling head on, and ensure that those who may need help get the support, resources, and services they deserve without stigmatization and undue barriers.
