New Jersey has never been content to sit back and let Nevada have a monopoly on legal gambling in the United States.
The Garden State authorized commercial casinos in the 1970's, giving rise to Atlantic City as we know it. And after New Jersey residents voted to legalize sports betting in 2011 despite a national ban on that form of wagering outside of Nevada, the state's leaders and lawyers took their fight to open sports betting up to the entire country all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court – and won.
Since launching sports wagering in 2018, New Jersey has continued to innovate, as it's since become one of the first states to launch fixed-odds horse betting and esports wagering, as well as licensing the nation's first sports betting exchange. Furthermore, New Jersey is consistently among the top states in terms of sports betting handle, coming up just shy of $2 billion in January 2024 and regularly eclipsing $1 billion in total monthly wagers.
