- A proposed law in New Jersey mandates online gambling platforms to provide monthly statements to users.
- New Jersey boasts one of the most lucrative iGaming and sports betting sectors in the U.S.
- The state also has a significant prevalence of gambling-related issues.
Players engaged in online casinos and sports betting in New Jersey may soon receive monthly reports detailing their wins and losses.
Senator John McKeon (D-Essex, Passaic) introduced Senate Bill 4280, which requires online sportsbooks and iGaming platforms to send monthly summaries of player activities.
“Casino operators and their internet gaming affiliates must provide their patrons with regular statements detailing the total dollar amounts of winnings and losses since the last statement,” the SB4280 text states.
The proposed legislation would require online casinos and sportsbooks to deliver these monthly summaries via push notifications. According to McKeon’s proposal, such notifications are defined as “automatic electronic messages that appear on the user’s device whenever the interface of the mobile casino or its online affiliate’s platform is not actively being used.”
McKeon believes that this push notification feature is essential to ensure that users engage with their gaming summary.
Expansion of iGaming and Sports Betting
In 2025, New Jersey’s iGaming market ranked third in the nation, achieving gross gaming revenue (GGR) of $2.91 billion, following Pennsylvania ($3.46 billion) and Michigan ($3.1 billion).
The state’s iGaming revenue grew by 22% in 2025, with continued increases noted in 2026. Sportsbooks recorded $1.17 billion in wagers last year, marking a 7.5% rise year-over-year. Up to April, the year-to-date GGR for sportsbooks has risen another 4%.
The trend of escalating gaming losses in New Jersey highlights the need for responsible gaming measures. McKeon’s bill aims to aid players in better understanding their betting behavior.This legislation could set a national precedent.
iGaming is currently regulated in only eight states, including Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia.
Senate Bill 4280 has been forwarded to the Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation Committee for preliminary evaluation. McKeon serves as the vice-chair of this committee.
The committee meeting scheduled for tomorrow, May 21, will not address SB4280 but will discuss other gaming-related measures proposed by McKeon.
Legislative Efforts for Responsible Gaming in NJ
The review of SB4280 will occur at a later session of the Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation Committee. The panel will also consider Senate Bill 2356 and Senate Bill 2362, which aim to mitigate gambling-related harms.
Senate Bill 2356 mandates the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to research and enforce specific language requirements for gambling advertisements, potentially restricting where such ads may be placed.
Senate Bill 2362 stipulates that individuals who self-exclude from certain gambling activities in New Jersey must view online educational and counseling videos before their gambling privileges are reinstated.
Recent findings from Rutgers University indicate that New Jersey’s problem gambling rate is nearly three times the national average, with approximately 6% of adults in the state meeting criteria for gambling issues, while around 60% engage in some form of gambling annually.
