From the article...
The board voted unanimously to license three California companies to take electronic bets from Illinois residents through computers, phones, interactive televisions and other mobile devices. State officials said the law will enable them to collect taxes on about $100 million in unauthorized online horse wagers each year in Illinois.

Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation allowing online horse betting in August. Before the legislation, Laino said the board estimated about $100 million in unauthorized online horse wagers were made annually in Illinois. The new law allows for random account audits and broad oversight of online horse betting, Laino said.

So any bets made previously with Youbet, TVG, or TwinSpires were made illegally before this new law went into effect in August?
