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

New Jersey's S 2417 adds electronic sports (esports) events to the state's legal sports wagering framework. It authorizes licensed casinos and racetracks to offer wagering on esports competitions (defined as video game competitions held at physical locations or online) within their existing sports wagering lounges, without requiring new licenses. The bill explicitly excludes esports events involving high school teams, minors under 18, or events where under-18 competitors form a majority. This amendment modifies existing gambling law definitions and expands current sports wagering operations to include esports, while maintaining prohibitions on wagering for certain youth-focused or high school esports events.
