The Illinois Gaming Board reported a record monthly sports betting handle of $867.5 million for January, moving the state’s all-time legal wagering within $250 million of the $10 billion mark.

The handle was the 14th-highest monthly amount reported of any state in the post-PASPA era that started in June 2018, bettering the Illinois mark of $840.4 million established in October. Illinois has three of the top 20 all-time totals, even with only six mobile operators accepting wagers.

BetMGM, which launched Saturday to coincide with the start of remote registration in the state, could give the Prairie State a chance at a $1 billion handle in March with the NCAA Tournament likely to spur more action.
