UPDATED (4\/5 1 pm ET) – To include quote from Illinois Casino Gaming Association on mobile registration issue.<\/strong><\/p>\n Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker has allowed a COVID-19 emergency regulation that allowed sports bettors to register for online apps remotely to sunset. That means that as of Sunday, gamblers who want to bet using their phones, but don\u2019t have the requisite app to do it, will need to travel to the participating casino first.<\/p>\n
