So You Wanna Play Ball (or Hockey, or Baseball... You Get the Idea) with FanDuel in Illinois? Age Check Time!
Let's face it, Illinois. Sometimes, watching sports just isn't enough. You gotta feel the rush, the thrill of victory (and the potential agony of defeat). That's where FanDuel comes in, the Michael Jordan to your Scottie Pippen, the Beyonce to your Destiny's Child (okay, maybe those aren't the best examples, but you get it).
But before you dive headfirst into the world of fantasy sports betting, there's a key hurdle to jump: age. Because let's be real, nobody wants a grumpy grandpa yelling at the cashier because he can't use his retirement fund on a bet for the Chicago Cubs (although, that would be a story for the ages).

The Big Enchilada: How Old Do You Gotta Be?
Here's the not-so-shocking news: FanDuel in Illinois, like most things involving real money and potentially questionable life choices, has an age limit. And that age limit is... drumroll please... 21! Yep, the same age you need to legally buy a six-pack of your favorite craft beer (although, for the sake of your wallet, maybe stick with the fantasy sports for that thrill).
Why 21? Well, Illinois likes to keep things safe and sound. They figure you need to be a full-fledged adult before you risk your hard-earned cash on predicting which athlete will throw the most touchdown passes.
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
But Wait, There's More! (Because Lawyers Love Disclaimers)
Being 21 is just the first step, folks. Here are some other things to keep in mind:
- You gotta be physically located in Illinois to place a bet. So no using FanDuel while on vacation in Florida (unless you want to disappoint your fantasy team even more).
- You also can't be within a 5-block radius of a sports stadium and try to place a bet there. Maybe cheer on your team in person instead? High fives all around are free (and way less risky).
