S 3468 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

New Jersey's S 3468 expands sports wagering to include electronic sports events (esports), defining them as video game competitions held at physical locations or online. The bill authorizes casinos and racetracks to offer wagering on these events through existing sports wagering lounges, while explicitly excluding esports involving minors or high school teams. Key provisions clarify that esports wagering won't be classified as "authorized gambling" under other laws and prohibit betting on events where participants under 18 form a majority. This directly affects licensed casinos and racetracks operating sports wagering services in the state.
