Does the state of Illinois disallow state tax credits on gambling winnings paid in another state?

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.
