NJDGE Approves Several Sports
This latest addition joins a growing list of niche sports approved by the NJDGE in recent months, including bandy, billiards, badminton, and lawn bowling, all of which are now available for wagering through licensed operators in the state.
However, while the Garden State is expanding its sports betting offerings, the jurisdiction is also considering doing away with some markets. In April, Senator Kristin Corrado proposed Senate Bill 3080 to ban prop bets on college sports.
According to the supporters of the bill, the proposed ban on college player props will further protect athletes, coaches, and team officials from gambling-related bullying. Echoing this view, NCAA President Charlie Baker has called on regulators across the country to prohibit college player prop bets to protect the safety of the players and the integrity of the sport.
