US Senator seeking New Jersey international igaming expansion

The lawmaker revealed that he would try his best to make it possible for interested international gambling companies to be able to set their operations within the state’s borders and be able to service players from all around the world from within New Jersey.

In addition, he will propose a constitutional amendment to the current requirement that computer servers from which igaming services are provided to local players are located in Atlantic City. Lesniak has previously considered proposing such an amendment, but has decided against it.

Under the yet-to-be-introduced bill, players from outside New Jersey will be able to play on the state’s igaming websites as long as online gambling is legal in their jurisdictions. There will also have to be proper agreements made between the state and other interested regulated markets.

New Jersey regulated its online gambling market back in November 2013. The state has enjoyed a stable growth of the market over the past several years. For instance, licensed online gambling operators generated revenue of US$ 196.7 million last year, reflecting a 32% increase from 2015.
