In plain language

This bill modifies the definition of adjusted gross receipts in the Illinois Gambling Act.

The bill amends the Illinois Gambling Act to redefine 'adjusted gross receipts' for gambling licensees. It accounts for payouts, costs of items provided to wagerers, voided wagers, and promotional credits.

Summary

Changes the definition of "adjusted gross receipts" to mean the total of all cash and cash equivalents received by a licensee minus the total of: (1) all cash and cash equivalents paid out as winnings to wagerers; (2) the actual costs paid by a licensee for anything of value provided to and redeemed by wagerers; (3) voided or cancelled wagers; and (4) the costs of free play or promotional credits provided to and redeemed by the applicable licensee's wagerers.
