Bally’s is the latest operator with designs on offering mobile sports wagering in Illinois, having submitted an application for a Management Services Provider license to the Illinois Gaming Board.

According to the state agency’s website, Bally’s Interactive submitted the application Sept. 12 and would operate as Bally Bet. The application did not specify if Bally Bet would be tethered to its potential downtown casino in Chicago or its existing Rock Island casino in Quad Cities near the Iowa border. Bally’s acquired the Rock Island venue for $120 million in October 2020 as part of its massive expansion and rebranding from Twin River.
