IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
No Guaranteed Results

You should not rely solely on our AI-generated content for betting decisions. Always verify information independently and use your own judgment.

5. Notice to Illinois Residents
Hoyne Labs LLC is organized under the laws of the State of Illinois.
Gaming Licensing Status
Hoyne Labs LLC is not licensed by the Illinois Gaming Board. This is because we are an information and entertainment service, not a gambling operator. We do not:
- Accept wagers or bets
- Operate any gambling activities
- Hold customer gambling funds
- Facilitate gambling transactions
As such, we are not required to hold a gaming license from the Illinois Gaming Board or any other regulatory body. Our business model is analogous to sports media outlets like ESPN or The Athletic, which provide sports analysis and betting-related content without holding gaming licenses.
Illinois Sports Betting Law
Sports betting was legalized in Illinois in 2019 under the Sports Wagering Act. If you are an Illinois resident who wishes to place sports bets, you must do so through a licensed sportsbook operator. A list of licensed operators can be found on the Illinois Gaming Board website.
