Yes, you are correct. This is what Illinois states:

If you were an Illinois resident when the gambling winnings were earned, you must pay Illinois Income Tax on the gambling winnings. Additionally, you may not include the gambling winnings in the non-Illinois portion of Schedule CR, Credit for Tax Paid to Other States.

You must pay tax in Illinois.

You CAN take a credit on the IL-1040, Sched CR

So has Illinois change their law to now allow you to claim a credit for taxes paid to another state on gambling winnings?
