230 ILCS 45/25-120: Fantasy contests; legislative intent.

Fantasy contests are legally distinct from sports wagering. Nonetheless, the State seeks to ensure both public confidence and trust in the credibility and integrity of fantasy contests, as well as to protect the public health and general welfare of the people of the State. Therefore, regulatory provisions of this Act are designed to strictly regulate the facilities, persons, associations, and practices related to fantasy contest operations pursuant to the police powers of the State, including comprehensive law enforcement supervision.
