Thank you for taking action to bring back affordable fun on game day. Take the next step by calling your State representatives! Here’s a brief script:

Hello, my name is [First Name], and I’m your constituent.

I’m calling to urge the [Representative/Senator] to fix the per-wager sports betting tax during the upcoming veto session. Football season is here, and this tax is making it more expensive to place legal bets. Illinois is the only state punishing people this way.

For small bets — like $1 or $2 — the tax is half the wager itself. That’s outrageous and unfair. Please tell [Lawmaker Last Name] to push leadership to fix this during veto session.

Thank you for passing along my message.
