S 1170 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill prohibits sports wagering licensees (such as casinos and racetracks) in New Jersey from offering bets that target specific college athletes, like "Will Player X score a touchdown?" It directly affects sports betting operators by banning these "player-specific proposition bets" on college sports events. The key provision adds a new restriction to existing sports wagering law, explicitly banning such bets to protect college athletes and reduce gambling risks. This policy change amends New Jersey's sports wagering regulations (P.L.2018, c.33) to include this prohibition. The bill does not alter licensing structures or operational rules detailed in the provided text.
