Summary
The bill amends the 2012 Criminal Code so that only natural persons who live in Illinois can sue to recover $50 or more lost in illegal gambling. It also specifies that any loss from fantasy contests, including single‑player games, cannot be recovered under that provision. The change narrows who may bring civil actions and excludes a popular online activity.
