A 1550 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires adoption and implementation of cybersecurity standards by casinos and sportsbooks; establishes safe gaming certification program.

This bill requires New Jersey casinos and sportsbooks to adopt cybersecurity programs meeting national standards (like NIST or ISO 27000), conduct annual third-party audits, and report security breaches within 72 hours. It establishes a "Safe Gaming Seal" certification for operators exceeding these standards, including features like advanced encryption, responsible gaming tools, and independent security assessments. Noncompliance may result in fines of $10,000 for the first violation and $20,000 for repeat offenses, with potential license suspension. The law applies to all licensed operators and their contracted service providers under New Jersey’s gaming regulations.
