- A bill in New Jersey would require online gaming platforms to issue monthly statements to players
- New Jersey is home to one of the richest iGaming and sports betting markets
- New Jersey also has a high concentration of problem gambling
New Jersey online casino gamblers and sports bettors could soon receive monthly win/loss statements.
New Jersey Sen. John McKeon (D-Essex, Passaic) is behind Senate Bill 4280. The legislation would require iGaming and online sportsbook platforms to issue recaps to bettors regarding their monthly activity.
Casino licensees and their internet gaming affiliates shall provide patrons with regular statements concerning the patron’s internet gaming winnings and losses, which shall include the total dollar amounts of winnings and losses since the last statement,” SB4280 reads.
The proposal would mandate that online casinos and sportsbooks provide the monthly summary through a push notification. McKeon’s bill describes such an alert as an “automatic electronic message displayed on the internet gaming account holder’s device, when the user interface for the mobile casino licensee or its internet gaming affiliate’s platform is not actively open or visible.”
The push notification component, McKeon says, is designed to ensure that the user sees the review.
iGaming, Sports Betting Growth
New Jersey’s iGaming market was the third-richest in 2025, with gross gaming revenue (GGR) topping $2.91 billion. That trailed only Pennsylvania ($3.46 billion) and Michigan ($3.1 billion).
New Jersey iGaming revenue soared 22% in 2025 and has only further grown in 2026. Oddsmakers took $1.17 billion of bettors’ wagers last year, a 7.5% year-over-year increase. Through April, year-to-date sportsbook GGR is another 4% higher.
The gaming losses continue to mount in the Garden State. McKeon’s bill is a responsible gaming tool that could help some gamblers better realize the scope of their play. Such a regulation would be the first-of-its-kind in the nation.
iGaming is limited to eight states, with Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia the other legal markets.
SB4280 has been referred to the Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation Committee for initial review. McKeon vice-chairs the committee.
The committee’s meeting for tomorrow, May 21, does not include SB4280 for consideration. The agenda does include discussions on other gaming bills filed by McKeon.
NJ Responsible Gaming Bills
SB4280 will be considered at a later date by the Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation Committee. Tomorrow, the panel will review Senate Bill 2356 and Senate Bill 2362. Both concern efforts to limit gambling harms.
SB2356 would require the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to study and implement certain language requirements in gambling advertisements and possibly limit where gambling ads are allowed.
SB2362 would require individuals who self-exclude from a form of gambling in New Jersey to watch online educational and counseling videos when applying to have their gambling rights restored.
A recent study by Rutgers University found that New Jersey’s problem gambling rate is almost three times the national average. About 6% of New Jersey adults meet the criteria for having a gambling problem, and about six in 10 participate in some form of gambling each year.
