New Jersey pushes global transparency in gambling operations

The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) is looking at new rules that require gambling operators to share information about their activities in other regions.
Under the proposed rules, licensed gambling operators would need to inform the DGE within seven days if they start or stop gambling activities in other states or countries. They would also have to report any subpoenas from authorities outside New Jersey within the same time frame.
The term “foreign gaming,” as defined by the DGE, is introduced in the a document from New Jersey’s Law and Public Safety department as:
“The conduct of gaming outside of New Jersey in any country or political subdivision thereof and in any state or political subdivision of the United States, including tribal jurisdictions.”
The proposed updates also include changes to account for gaming growth in New Jersey, like sports betting at racetracks. Aiming to improve accountability and oversight, the DGE will be proposes requiring operators to report their activities both in the U.S. and abroad.
Although some public comments raised workplace safety concerns, the DGE is currently focused on making sure operators comply to the rules in all operating regions.
