US State on the Cusp

The industry news in the United States has really heated up over the past several weeks as it appears true that the state of New Jersey has plans to fully legalize intrastate online casino gambling as a way to supplement the failing land gambling revenues coming out of Atlantic City. The competition from Pennsylvania and other neighboring states has really caused New Jersey to consider which types of gambling expansions would best serve the state while also allowing staying within the rules and limitations set forth in the federal gambling policies that ban offshore online casinos from operating in the US market. To counter that, states like New Jersey, California, Florida, and others have announced plans and studies that are eventually aimed at introducing legal forms of internet gambling in the states.

New Jersey is particularly hard hit right now because the number of gamblers willing to make the drive to Atlantic City is lessening right in line with the increase in gambling activity at the slots parlors in Pennsylvania and other states. To be quite specific, the New Jersey government wants to add legal sports wagering to the state with online casinos down the line as a preemptive action against neighboring states like Pennsylvania which are heavily competing with the business that used to go through Atlantic City and into the New Jersey state coffers.

The online casinos would operate out of Atlantic City and the New Jersey gambling bill supporters argue that the claims of problem gambling are no more founded and concerning then the problem gambling within the land industry. For that reason, there is actually even an increased level of control over the gamblers and their activities if it is being monitored and watched by the state versus the numbers of New Jersey gamblers illegally placing their wagers at offshore gambling sites.
