The Garden State’s sports betting industry turned a year old earlier this month, a milestone for the state that fought, and won, against the sports leagues in defeating the 1992 federal law known as PASPA. NJ is approaching $3 billion in total bets since legal sports betting began.
In May, the online/mobile and brick-and-mortar sportsbooks recorded about $318.9 mm in bets, according to the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement. According to figures from the Nevada Gaming Control Board released Thursday, the NV books took roughly $317.4 mm in handle in May.
