The Industry Benefits from a Stable Foundation
The Garden State remains one of the most profitable US iGaming jurisdictions. May saw New Jersey rank second among the seven states with legalized online gambling, only trailing behind Michigan. Together with Pennsylvania, the three states were collectively responsible for a whopping 89% of all gross internet casino revenue in May.
The DGE continues its tight control over the market, ensuring that licensees do not violate customer protection strategies and uphold their contractual obligations. Recently, the regulator issued a $100,000 fine to DraftKings for filing wrong sports betting data with the state. In the letter to the operator, the DGE determined that DraftKings had violated New Jerseyâs tight gaming regulatory system.
The ongoing positive financial trends and the DGEâs continued vigilance underscore the integrity and reliability of New Jerseyâs gaming industry. The stateâs gambling sector can leverage this stable foundation to retain its leadership position among the USAâs iGaming jurisdictions and preserve its momentum in the coming months despite the expected sports wagering seasonal slowdown.
