A deal that would see Caliente Interactive, a Mexican gaming company with ties to a controversial Tijuana businessman, enter the state's online sports betting market may fall through, leaving Illinois without any applicants for its first online-only license.

A DraftKings Sportsbook logo is posted on the construction fencing surrounding a future facility in the southeast corner of Wrigley Field on Sept. 27, 2022, in Chicago.

“We do not comment on individual pending applicants,” said Joe Miller, a spokesman for the Illinois Gaming Board. FanDuel, which is associated with the Fairmount Park horse racing track near St. Louis, was the state’s top sportsbook, with more than $253 million in adjusted gross receipts for the year, according to the report. DraftKings, which is partnered with the Casino Queen in East St. Louis, was the state’s No. 2 sportsbook with nearly $148 million in adjusted gross receipts, followed by BetRivers at about $99 million.

Caliente Interactive was established in 2014 as an independently operated entity through an agreement between Grupo Caliente and Playtech, a publicly traded London Stock Exchange technology company, according to the Tekkorp disclosure statement filed with the gaming board.
