BetRivers Online Sportsbook Illinois

Not only was BetRivers the retail sportsbook to accept Illinois' first sports wager in March 2020, but it was also the first online sportsbook to launch on June 18, 2020. BetRivers has a habit of being the first to market, making it one of the most well-known sportsbooks across the US. 

Because Illinois state law requires you to verify your sports betting account in person, you will first need to visit the Rivers Casino in Des Moines if you choose to place any sports bets with BetRivers in Illinois. 

After verifying your account, you are free to play from anywhere within Illinois state lines. You can place bets on both Android and iOS devices via the BetRivers app or mobile-optimized website. 

To place any sports bets online or at a retail location in Illinois, you must be at least 21 years old and physically located within state lines. Like all other online sportsbooks and casinos, BetRivers IL utilizes geolocation software to ensure all players are where they claim to be. They also verify your age before any bet can be placed.
