With the Super Bowl approaching, the Winter Olympics underway, and college basketball, the NBA, and NHL in full swing, there are plenty of betting opportunities available.
In addition, cornhole betting is now included in the list of approved wagers at Illinois sportsbooks.
Are you a fan of cornhole or luggage? Your preference may vary depending on your location in Illinois, as the Chicagoland region is known for its love of “bags.” However, DraftKings Sportsbook is now offering betting opportunities for both cornhole and luggage.
Illinois and Michigan are two Midwest states where cornhole gaming is permitted.
While Illinois is leading in cornhole betting, residents are still unable to access Illinois sportsbooks or place bets on college teams online using their phones.
The Johnsonville Cornhole Championships, held on Super Bowl weekends, take place from February 11 to 13. You can place bets on the winners of the singles and doubles tournaments, and catch all the action on ESPN networks.
The latest singles odds can be found at DraftKings.
