Default Re: Illinois looking to implement online lottery

No - it depends on whether a poker tournament fits the category of "a bone fide contest of skill...." Illinois law exempts such things from the definition of gambling. I said it was arguable, and I am sure every illinois law-enforcement official would be happy to argue it.

If I misread the point of your question, the reason all those other things exist is becasue they too are defined as exempt from illegal gambliing.
