01:48 PM EDT, 06/10/2025 (MT Newswires) -- DraftKings ( DKNG ) is evaluating potential actions after a recent tax increase in Illinois, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing an emailed statement from the company.

The state's new budget taxes $0.25 per bet for the first 20 million online sports bets made annually, increasing to $0.50 per bet after that threshold.

"In response to the recent and prior mobile sports wagering tax increases in Illinois, DraftKings ( DKNG ) anticipates taking action and expects to share more information soon," the company reportedly said in a statement.

Flutter Entertainment ( FLUT ) said Tuesday that it will implement a $0.50 transaction fee on FanDuel bets in Illinois, effective Sept. 1, to offset the tax increase.
