In recent years, the state of Illinois embraced 1-800-bets off. Allowing those with gambling addiction to regain control of their lives by legally self excluding from statewide casinos. Recently the state has permitted video gaming to invade establishments throughout the state. Bars, restaurants, gas stations, bowling alleys, legions...without any support to protect problem gamblers. There have even been numerous sightings of underage gamblers spending money and gaining dangerous addictions. There is nobody carding these patrons to ensure the minimum age is enforced. Gambling addiction is serious and can financially and mentally destroy. Those that were seekers of self help and underage minors are now exposed to this dangerous temptation on every corner without restriction.
