Gambling is booming in New Jersey.
New Jerseyans bet over $1 billion on sports last month. The state’s internet gambling market was up nearly 24% in March from a year earlier.
Despite the recent introduction of legalized sports betting to New York, the Garden State regularly leads the nation in monthly sports betting revenue.
Over the last few years, our state has experienced the largest regulatory, financial, and cultural shift toward gambling in its history, and with this surge in opportunity, comes a parallel need to address its largest threat: problem gambling. While most people who gamble do so responsibly, more than 5 million Americans meet the criteria for gambling addiction.
