It's required in Illinois to use a private seller portal for private sales through the state police site. It does some kind of check and it's free to use.

That's awesome, does it do the national database? That's one of the downfalls I've read about. Local BGCs end up being just local, so someone can just hop the state line and then it's pointless. Every gun owner I've ever talked to has wanted access to the NICS, we want to know who we're selling to. Most of the people I talk with won't sell unless the person buying has a CCW.

I'm not exactly sure if it does NICS specifically. The portal really just checks to see if they have a valid FOID (firearm owner ID, an Illinois special) card, but the foid card is linked to other data bases. I'm not super familiar with all the specifics. Relevant links:
