A 4905 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits sports wagering licensees from offering player-specific proposition bets on college sports.

This bill prohibits sports wagering licensees in New Jersey from offering or accepting bets on specific player performances in college sports events. It directly affects casinos and racetracks with sports wagering licenses by banning "player-specific proposition bets," which are wagers on individual player statistics like points scored or first to score rather than the final game outcome. The bill defines proposition bets as side wagers on parts of a sport that don't concern the final outcome, and it prohibits these specific bets on collegiate sports. This policy change aims to protect the integrity of college sports by addressing concerns about harassment of student-athletes and maintaining fairness in competitions.
