New Jersey To Legalise Online Gambling The End Of November

A bill that will legalize online gambling in New Jersey will most likely be signed and finalized at the end of November 2012. This much anticipated bill will allow all citizens in the state to gamble at online casinos, an act that has thus far been prohibited.

In a recent interview with best-online-casino.com, the head of iMEGA.org (Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association) confirmed that he suspects the bill will reach and be signed by Governor Christie by month end. Joe Brennan Jr. also stated that iMEGA.org and government officials will work together to ensure the successful implementation and development of the online gambling legislation.

Citizens of the United States of America have been calling for the legalization of online gambling since it was first banned. So far, a total of two states have actually legalized internet gambling. Nevada and Delaware are the only two states in which online gambling is legalized and New Jersey will soon follow in their footsteps.

There will of course be limitations put into place once the bill has been passed. Nevada, for example, prohibits betting to take place if the bettor is not within the state’s borders. New Jersey is expected to put limitations in place while streamlining the Internet Gambling Bill over the next few months.

It should be noted that New Jersey was one of the states affected by the Category 1 hurricane Sandy a few weeks ago. The storm wreaked havoc around the coast and resulted in more than two million citizens being without electricity. However, this will not cause any delay or postponement of the voting regarding the legalization of online gambling. The bill is still expected to be signed by Governor Christie at the end of November.

All avid online gamblers look to the end of November with much anticipation. This online gambling legislation will mark the beginning of a new era for online casinos as more of the American market opens up to them. More states are expected and encouraged to follow in the footsteps of Nevada, Delaware and New Jersey.
