Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Provides that an Internet gaming service provider that provides service to a consumer, for home and personal use, for a stated term that is automatically renewed for another term unless a consumer cancels the service must give a consumer who is an Illinois resident: (1) a secure method at the Internet gaming service provider's web site that the consumer may use to cancel the service, which method shall not require the consumer to make a telephone call or send U.S. Postal Service mail to effectuate the cancellation; and (2) instructions that the consumer may follow to cancel the service at the Internet gaming service provider's web site. Makes it an unlawful business practice for an Internet gaming service provider to violate the new provisions.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Further amends the Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act. Provides that this Section does not apply to any entity that merely provides the host platform on the web site to the Internet gaming service provider. Makes a technical change.
