Designates sweepstakes casinos as internet gaming; requires licensure, oversight, and taxation thereof within internet gaming framework.

This bill designates online sweepstakes casinos as a form of internet gaming requiring licensure, oversight, and taxation under New Jersey's existing regulatory framework. It defines online sweepstakes casinos as platforms where users play with "free currency" that can be converted to redeemable credits through purchases, random rewards, or completing tasks, requiring operators to obtain casino service industry enterprise licenses. Operators must undergo independent third-party audits before and after licensing, partner with licensed casinos, and follow the same rules as other internet gaming businesses regarding background checks, age verification, fees, and taxation. The Division of Gaming Enforcement will oversee enforcement, investigate unauthorized operations, and work with telecom providers to restrict access to illegal services.
