US Department of Justice takes strong stance against New Jersey sports betting
The Act bans sports betting outside Nevada, Delaware, Montana and Oregon, which all received exemptions to maintain sports betting before the US Congress enacted the law in 1992.
Led by state Senator Ray Lesniak, lawmakers in New Jersey have said that PASPA only prohibits the state from authorising and regulating sports betting.
Under the state’s plans, New Jersey will take a hands-off approach to sports betting by not formally authorising or regulating it, but at the same time not prosecuting venues for offering such services. The plans also state that betting can be offered with the provision that bets are placed on events outside of the state, so as not to conflict with a 1992 federal law.
Earlier this week, Lesniak and State Senator Joseph Kyrillos unveiled legislation to abolish language in state law that prohibits sports betting as part of an effort to boost New Jersey’s legal position.
