PointsBet, the pioneer in live betting, has opened its newest retail sportsbook in Villa Park, Illinois, providing sports fans in and around Chicago with a new entertainment place to watch and gamble on games.
The PointsBet Sportsbook at Club Hawthorne is the company’s fourth retail outlet in the state as part of its collaboration with Hawthorne Race Course, which has the most off-track betting bars for horse racing in Illinois.
The PointsBet Retail Sportsbook was created to provide an engaging online and in-person betting experience to sports fans and bettors in the Villa Park region.
Johnny Aitken, CEO of PointsBet USA, said:
“With a full roster of NFL playoffs, NBA, and NHL games, we couldn’t be more excited to be offering a new destination for Illinois sports fans to enjoy and bet on their favorite sports. The PointsBet Retail Sportsbook is part of PointsBet’s continued efforts to expand our footprint in a key state like Illinois, and we’re thrilled to be able to provide the Illinois sports community with another premier location that caters to both sports fans and bettors – and everyone in between.”
Tim Carey, CEO of Hawthorne Race Course, added:
“There’s nowhere else in Chicagoland where you can bet on sports, horse racing and video slots. Only Club Hawthorne betting bars have it all. We’re building an integrated on-site entertainment experience with great food and drinks, and excellent service for the next generation of sports fans.”
