One-click in every email — we keep no tracking pixels.

Because Illinois law leaves us no choice on this one. The Illinois Sports Wagering Act (230 ILCS 5/20-1) restricts sports wagering to persons 21 years of age or older who are physically present in the State of Illinois at the time of wagering. The problem-gambling helpline is 1-800-GAMBLER, and the Betting Brief template mandates a regulatory banner of at least 350 characters on every Illinois-targeted brief. We do not duplicate that text here — the full verbatim disclosure lives on /about#disclosure-heading, which is the canonical copy the email ships alongside.
