A 2172 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Includes electronic sports event as sports wagering; authorizes electronic sports wagering at certain locations.

This bill adds electronic sports events (competitive video gaming competitions) to the list of sports events eligible for wagering in New Jersey. It authorizes casinos, racetracks, and licensed operators to accept wagers on electronic sports events that meet specific integrity requirements, with approval from the Division of Gaming Enforcement. The bill requires third-party certification (such as from game publishers) to verify event integrity before wagers can be accepted. Sports wagering licensees may offer up to two additional websites or mobile applications dedicated solely to electronic sports betting. The bill maintains existing rules, including the 21+ age requirement for bettors, and clarifies that electronic sports wagering is distinct from traditional sports wagering.
