Illinois senators propose AI limits and deposit checks for sports betting

Illinois Senator Bill Cunningham introduced SB 2398 and SB 2399, proposals referred to the State Assignments Committee. SB 2398 would restrict certain uses of AI by sports wagering licensees; SB 2399 would limit customers to five deposits in 24 hours, prohibit credit-card deposits and require affordability checks above specified deposit thresholds. The bills would require verification that a proposed deposit did not exceed 25% of monthly income, or a check using a reasonable lender standard.
