New Jersey to Look at Legalizing Internet Gambling

[Snoop Scoop]

As reported by the Press of Atlantic City: “A state Assembly committee wants to study the possibility of legalizing and regulating Internet gaming in New Jersey. “Although it is illegal in the United States, about 1,800 off-shore companies generate billions in Internet gaming dollars each year. About 60 percent of that revenue comes from the United States, where gambling on the Web is just a pop-up ad away. Internet gambling is not coming, its here,’ said Assemblyman Anthony Impreveduto, D-Hudson. Certainly, we're in a budget crunch. Internet gaming is a place to find that revenue. Impreveduto's bill - which now goes to the full Assembly and then the Senate for approval - sets up a 21-member commission to review the prevalence, status and growth of Internet gaming. The commission will also study the impact Internet gaming has on minors and the pros and cons of regulating the industry. Frank Catania, former head of the state Division of Gaming Enforcement, said the idea to form a commission is both insightful and timely.
