2. Application for a Licence and Licence Restrictions

In the case of Igaming, the lan d-based casino must have an Igaming Permit. Online/ mobile Igaming operators need to sign a market access agreement with a lan d-based casino and get a Casino Service Industry Enterprise (CSIE) license.

Retail sports gambling can be provided by approval casinos and racetracks that have sports gambling licenses. Online / mobile sports gambling operators must sign a CSIE license with a land casino or a racetrack.

In the case of Palimi Chewel gambling, the Racecourse must own a permit to hold a horse racing, and the OTB must have a license issued by the New Jersey State Horse Racing Committee. A license is also required for account betting and exchanges gambling. Horse racing permit is limited by laws and regulations. Only seven (three thoroughbreds and four harnesses) can be issued in total. OTB licenses are only 15 cases, and are issued only to the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Agency ("Agency"), the Jockey Organization, and one "preferred organization" by laws and regulations. There is an account betting license and one exchange betting license, which belongs to the authorities by rules. If the Horse Racing Committee has a prior approval, Licensei can sign a contract with an individual or organization that performs its operation of OTB, account gambling, and exchange gambling.

The New Jersey division of the State Lottery is the only entity that is allowed to carry out lottery in the state. To sell lottery, lottery dealers must own a license issued by the state lottery division. The third party can also operate online/ mobile lottery courses after obtaining a lottery home delivery service permission issued by the State lottery division.

All organizations interested in the implementation of Charity Bingo must obtain a registration certificate from the Legal Game of Chance Management Committee. After registration, the organization must submit a license application to the appropriate local government where the game is held.

To become a fantasy sports operator, you need permission based on the Fantasy Sports Law.

2. 4 Are there any restrictions imposed on licensees in your jurisdiction?

The Casino Control Commission, the Division of Gaming Enforcement and the Racing Commission have the statutory power to impose conditions on licenses. In addition, the relevant legalisations and regulations impose a number of conditions and restrictions on licensees.

2. 6 What are the primary restrictions on the provision of services to customers by relevant product? Please include any significant promotional or advertising restrictions in your answer.
The statutes and regulations governing the various forms of gambling legalized in New Jersey contain numerous restrictions on the provision of services to customers. For illustrative purposes, we will outline certain selected provisions.

Bets from minors are not accepted. The minimum age for pari-mutuel, fixed odds, exchange, bingo, lottery, and fantasy is 18 years old. 21 for casinos, sports betting and iGaming.

Any advertising in the casino shall include the phrase "Bet with your head, not over it" or equivalent. Advertising shall be factual and not false, deceptive, or misleading. The following actions are prohibited: Advertising in the casino-hotel complex that violates the state's obscenity statutes or that contains certain prohibited content outlined in the regulations, and failure to maintain availability for the advertised period or in sufficient quantities to meet reasonably anticipated demand. The applicant or licensee shall also be responsible for all advertising made by its agents, whether or not the applicant or licensee had a direct involvement in its preparation, placement, or dissemination. These standards also apply to CSIE licensees.

Operators offering mobile wagering of any kind must be able to verify that persons placing wagers are located within the state.

i Gaming and casino hardware, software, and other equipment must be located in a secure casino facility or other facility owned by Atlantic City. Racetrack sports pools or online sports pools must have their servers located in Atlantic City if not at a racetrack. Fantasy sports operators that are casinos must have a server located in Atlantic City. If a fantasy sports operator is not a casino, it must have at least one server located in Atlantic City.

If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and is seeking help, call 1-800-Gambler” message shall be prominently displayed on the log-on screen and a command shall be sent to display this message on the log-off screen whenever the system detects an iGaming and fixed odds log-off. This message shall also be displayed in advertising for the casino or sports pool and in announcements that bingo is being played.

Each sports betting licensee may offer no more than three separately branded websites, each of which may be accompanied by a mobile application that is identically branded to the online sports pool website.

Horse racing permit holders may impose advertising restrictions on jockey or driver attire to protect turf traditions or promote safety for race participants.

2. 7 What are taxes and other mandatory levies?

The Casino Control Act imposes an annual tax of 8% on casino gross revenues. Gross revenues of sports pools are taxed at 8. 5% plus 1. 25% annually. Online sports pool operators are taxed at 13% annually on gross revenues plus an additional 1. 25% tax. The annual tax on iGaming gross revenues is 15% plus an investment alternative tax of 2. 5%.

For fantasy sports, there is a quarterly operating fee of 10. 5% of gross revenues.

For horse racing, the distribution of monies withheld from winnings varies by the method of betting (parimutuel, fixed odds, exchange), the type of race (thoroughbred or harness), the type of bet, the location where the bet was placed, and the location of the race where the bet was placed.

2. 8 What are the broad social responsibility requirements?

The Horseracing Commission maintains a self-exclusion list that applies to racetracks, OTB, fixed odds, account betting, and exchange betting. The Gaming Enforcement Division has similar controls over casinos, mobile sports betting, and iGaming. A person may request to be placed on the self-exclusion list, and during the period of voluntary exclusion, the person may not collect winnings or recover losses resulting from bets. Operators are responsible for checking the self-exclusion list before allowing bets or wagers.

Similarly, fantasy sports operators must provide individuals with the ability to limit their participation in fantasy sports activities and take measures to prevent such individuals from participating. Operators must also place limits on the number of entries that an individual participant may submit for each fantasy sports activity and take measures to prevent participants from exceeding that number.

Whenever the winner of a lottery prize in excess of $600 owes a debt to any state government agency or instrumentality, including but not limited to a crime victims compensation agency, child support, or other debt, the lottery prize money will be used to satisfy the debt.

2. 9 How do AML, financial services regulations and payment restrictions restrict or affect entities supplying gambling?

The Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA"), 31 USC §5311 et seq., is a federal law that applies to "financial institutions," including casinos with annual gross gaming receipts of more than $1 million. Currency Transaction Reports ("CTRs") must be filed by casinos to report each transaction of currency involving cash-in or cash-out of $10, 000 or more on a gaming day. Each casino must develop and implement a written AML program. The program must include internal controls, employee training, independent testing for compliance, a compliance officer, identity verification procedures, procedures for determining suspicious transactions, and computer-based procedures for ensuring compliance.

The federal Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 ("UIGEA"), 31 U. S. C. § 5361 et seq., imposes criminal liability on: (1) any person who engages in gambling or gambling; (2) any person who knowingly receives money; and (3) any person who engages in illegal gambling. However, UIGEA provides a special exemption for intrastate transactions governed by state law, where licensed transactions are specifically excluded from the definition of "unlawful Internet gambling." In summary, UIGEA does not criminalize other lawful activities under state and federal law, namely licensed intrastate online gambling and lotteries.

In addition, New Jersey law and regulations have specific requirements regarding AML compliance (New Jersey Revised Statutes (N. J. Rev. Stat.), Section 2C:21-25). For example, casino licensees offering iGaming must have an iGaming Manager who is responsible for the operation and integrity of the iGaming and who reviews all reports of suspicious activity. The iGaming Manager will notify the Division of Gaming Enforcement if he or she detects anyone engaging in theft, embezzlement, collusion, money laundering, or other illegal activity. The iGaming system itself must be designed to detect and report suspicious activity, such as money laundering and other illegal activities.

Sports pool and fixed odds operators will be required to submit their internal controls to the Gaming Enforcement Division prior to commencing operations, including a description of their AML compliance standards, including but not limited to CTRs, filing of suspicious activity reports ("SARs") and procedures for detecting structuring to circumvent reporting requirements.

2. 10 Does your jurisdiction permit and separately regulate the use of virtual currencies for gambling?

Currently, virtual currencies are not permitted.

3. 1 How do local laws/regulations affect the offering of related products in online/mobile/digital/electronic form, both (i) by operators located within your jurisdiction, and (ii) by operators located outside your jurisdiction?

The New Jersey Constitution permits casino gambling (including sports betting) only within the geographic boundaries of Atlantic City. Thus, iGaming/mobile gaming and sports betting may only be offered from servers physically located in Atlantic City.

Operators whose servers are located outside New Jersey are prohibited from offering products to New Jersey residents and are not eligible for a local license.

3. Online/Mobile/Digital/Electronic Media

3. 2 What other restrictions are there on "related products" offered through online/mobile/digital/electronic means?

See answers to questions 2. 4 and 2. 6 above.

3. 3 What terminal/machine-based gaming is permitted, and where?

Fixed odds kiosks are permitted at racetracks, self-service pari-mutuel machines are permitted at racetracks, OTB and slot machines are permitted at casinos, and self-service sports betting machines/kiosks are permitted at licensed establishments. In addition, keno machines are permitted at certain bars and taverns licensed by state lottery departments.

4. 1 Who is responsible under local laws/regulations?

License or permit holders, and key employees and shareholders authorized or qualified in connection with such licenses, may be held liable for violations of applicable legal and regulatory provisions.

4. 2 What forms of enforcement actions are available in your jurisdiction?

4. Enforcement and Liability

The primary enforcement mechanism is the imposition of regulatory sanctions, including monetary fines or penalties, license restrictions or revocation, and findings of ineligibility and prohibitions against reapplying for a license. The primary enforcement agency is most often the Gaming Enforcement Division. Criminal enforcement is also possible in rare cases. 4. 3 Do other non-domestic laws affect liability and enforcement?

Unlike most countries, US gambling is mainly regulated by region/ state law. However, specific national/ federal law must refer to the telegraph law of UIGea and 18 U. S. C. §1084 to affect local/ state gambling.

Can 4. 4 gambling debt be enforced in jurisdiction areas?

Yes, gambling debt for approved casinos or operators can be enforced. Lan d-based casinos are allowed to provide credit to casino customers.

4. 5 What kind of forced executions do your local regulatory authorities have? Have you ever executed fines, cancellation of license, or other sanctions in your jurisdiction?

The gaming execution department regularly imposes a fine for casinos and online / mobile operators for various violations. Generally, the rigor of financial penalties increases based on the two factors of violations, when the frequency of violations / violations is repeated. Regulatory authorities have imposed more imprisoned penalties for minor gambling, geoblocking violations, AML violations, and violations related to sel f-exclusion list. In some cases, the license may have severe conditions. It is very rare that the license will be canceled.

Sanborn’s casino should create a bidding war – if not for its legal problems

Can his access to a hard-to-get historic horse racing license overcome that?

By: Annmarie Timmins - February 19, 2024 5:00 am

The Gaming Enforcement Division proposed New Jersey Administrative Law (NJAC) 113:69E-1. 28Y to authorize skill-based gaming. Customers may play against gaming software or against other customers in arcade-style electronic games to win real money. A new section of the rule clarifies that such games are not slot machines and therefore do not guarantee a payback of at least 83%. The proposed rule also requires that games be clearly labeled so that customers can distinguish them from ordinary games of chance, and that games cannot be modified during gameplay to take into account the customer's skill. Peer-to-peer skill-based games must be monitored for collusion and money laundering activities using automated features or in accordance with the casino licensee's internal controls. The proposed rule allows skill-based games to offer "adaptive features that increase the payback percentage to improve the actual return to the player." The Division of Gaming Enforcement also proposes revisions to regulations governing identity theft and deposits and withdrawals from mobile gaming and sports betting accounts to make it more difficult for identity thieves to profit from such crimes.

Online operators have always been required to allow patrons to deposit and withdraw funds at casino or racetrack cages with which the operator is affiliated, but this requirement will now be codified in New Jersey gaming regulations. To prevent fraudulent access to cash through identity theft, online operators who process withdrawals at casino or racetrack cages will be required to obtain and retain still photographs of anyone making a withdrawal of $500 or more. Online operators will also be required to obtain identification of anyone making a withdrawal, and the method of obtaining such identification shall comply with the Division of Gaming Enforcement's codified statutory requirements. In addition, the new regulations will require such identification and photographs to be released upon request pursuant to a lawful order of the Division of Gaming Enforcement, law enforcement, or a court of competent jurisdiction.

Additional proposed rules include $ 750 application fees, as well as $ 4, 000 for the applicant for surveys related to the major casino employee license. These changes require Division of Gaming EnforceMent and New Jersey Casino Control Commission to identify and collect true costs related to regulation survey processes. The gaming execution department pointed out that it is necessary to update the rules to maintain and consistent regulatory gaming in New Jersey.

Chicago's gambling entrepreneur Greg Karlin has acquired Hampton's ocean gaming casinos and Rochester's second casino to expand historic horse racing. (Anmary Timins | New Hampshire Bretin)

Chicago's game entrepreneur Greg Karlin has acquired two New Humpshire casinos in the last 14 months, and has been investing in $ 25 million to renovate and expand. Ocean gaming casinos look down on Hampton Beach. The second casino under construction is scheduled to open in Rochester's Lilac Mall, and Karlin also purchased the mall.

Why do you invest so much in New Hampshire? "Historical horse racing", approved by parliament in 2021, is a game that plays like a slot machine. Carlin is one of the most dominant domestic game operating companies that almost monopolize the new historical horse racing market in New Hampshire.

"During the tw o-story Hampton Casino and Ocean Gaming tour, Mr. Karlin, the owner of the G2 gaming, said," Before the historical horse racing method is enacted, these facilities are very low tables with very low betting money. It was a game (so New Hampshire was not on my radar screen.

Here is why HHR changed it.

State rules allow gaming operators to keep 75 percent of HHR revenues, compared with 55 percent for table games such as poker and blackjack. In December alone, owners of the 10 casinos with HHR machines collected $8. 8 million compared with $2. 15 million for table games. The remaining revenues from both games are donated to charities and the state.

Another benefit is that it reduces competition for businesses.

For sale: Casino with legal problems

The state capped HHR licenses at the existing 14 through July. Lawmakers appear to be leaning toward extending that for seven years or indefinitely under a competing Senate bill. Both bills would allow up to 19 licenses to accommodate the five HHR license applicants the New Hampshire Lottery is reviewing.

Carlin isn't the only one who sees potential in New Hampshire's gaming industry.

In the past two years, all but two casinos with HHR licenses or access to licenses have changed owners from individuals running "mom-and-pop" shops to well-known national gaming companies, including Churchill Downs and Delaware North.

Individual owners couldn't afford HHR machines, which cost $20, 000 each, and found that the state's cap on HHR licenses made their casinos pretty valuable. To get a license, you have to buy a casino that has one and pass the state's extensive background checks.

It's not uncommon for casinos to be sold for seven-figure prices, according to Rick Newman, a lobbyist for the NH Association of Charitable Gaming Operators, which represents casino owners. Others say it's even higher, up to $10 million.

"HHR machines are attractive, and casinos around the world have proven that," Newman said. "The most profitable thing on their floors is electronic gaming. In New Hampshire, we didn't have that before, and we're just now starting to see how much money the historic horse racing electronic machines can make."

So the HHR license is now in the spotlight: Win Win, owned by former state senator Andy Sanborn.

Sanborn was reportedly trying to sell Win Win before he was ordered to do so by the state in December, after it concluded he had concealed the nature of his business in obtaining pandemic loans that weren't open to casinos.

According to a state order, Sambourne must be sold by June, but if the sale has been pending by then, you can request an extension of three months. If it could not be sold within the deadline, the state will deprive him of his gambling place management license and charity games. Sambourne does not have a HHR license, but the fact that Win Win is qualified is increasing the value of the company.

Meanwhile, Samborn and his wife, Representative Raleley Samborn, have been investigated by the state and the federal government, allegedly spending false statements in the pandemic loan application form and using funds to make themselves rich. There is a possibility. According to the Justice Office, their purchased items include Ferrari purchased by Samborn for his wife and two Porsche racing cars.

In August, the prosecutor's Office has certified Sambourne and Win Win as "not suitable" for the philanthropic gaming of New Hampshire, and banned the possession of gaming licenses, including HHR.

Newman says that these issues are not small for Sambourne and buyers.

"If you don't have a legal problem in any place you have announced the sale, you should be able to have a row of the bidder you want to buy," he said, and he specifically talked about the situation of Sunborne. He pointed out that he was not.

If Win Win is convicted of a state or federal wilic crime, the state law prohibits retaining a 1 0-year gaming license. In the case of a light crime, it is 5 years. Gaming experts pointed out that it would be too risky to acquire the company before the criminal case was resolved, and it is unknown when the judicial Secretariat will prosecute the Sambourne and / Winwin. He said.

Urban revitalization via a casino

John Folmera said that he had inquired that the Federal Inspection Bureau in New Hampshire had embarked on the investigation.

These unresolved legal issues are enough to hesitate Dick Anagnost. Anagnost will contribute to the gaming legislation of New Hampshire and c o-own six casinos in Los Angeles, a Peninsula Pacific Entertainment, and New Hampshire. It is not true that he and Peninsula are trading with Sambourne.

"How many people want to be involved? Anagnost asked," I don't accept Samborn's legal problem. "

The buyer also has to overcome the decision of the prosecutor's president that Win Win is not suitable for a charity game, based on the alleged pandemic fraud. Unless a new buyer makes sufficient business changes to solve the state concerns, Win Win is eliminated to retain the gaming license.

John Confronty, Chief Compliance Officer of New Hampshire lottery, said he could not discuss the details of Sambourne and Win Win. He also stated that he could not clarify whether someone was interested in Win Win license.

The biggest chance of Sambourne for sale may be that the buyer can incorporate protection into the contract, taking into account the results of a criminal investigation. By doing so, the company's HHR license disappears from the market, and no one else can get a license.

Gaming licenses cannot be transferred outside the city. But the new owner does not need to operate at the Sambourne Concord Casino on the main street.

Lawmakers push to speed up NYC casino licenses timetable: ‘We’re leaving $2B on the table’

Carrulin is now not chasing a Sambourne casino. He is concentrated on his casino and both are under construction.

Hampton's room remains open to expand the number of the first floor and the HHR machine from 91 to 109. Karlin, who led seven casinos in the United States and Canada while enrolled in Rush Street Gaming, found a different opportunity for Rochester to revitalize the city.

Carlin is trying to buy both and redevelop the malls, rather than renting a 32, 00 0-squar e-foot casino, rather than borrowing the exhausted Lilac Mall space.

"New trends are being born in the gaming industry, but we missed it early: a retail space that was not used ... will be diverted to gaming," he says.

Carlin plans to install 28 table games and 220 HHR machines. There is also a bingo. New Hampshire requires casinos to share some of the game revenue with charity. Each charity is required to donate up to 10 days a year.

According to the Financial Financial Financial Financial Financial Report, in December, the charity received about $ 65, 740 from the HHR and the table game in cooperation with the Ocean Front Gaming. The Charlin team has reached a charitable organization with the goal of partnership with local no n-profit organizations.

Two State Congers have said that it has been time for a dice to prize casino licensing around New York, supporting a bill to accelerate the current criticized schedule.

Joseph Adabo Senator Senator (Queens Ward Selection) and House of Representatives Gary Pretallo (Mount Bernon Ward elected) will bid by July 31 this year, with three gaming commissions by March 31 next year. We are promoting a law that obliges the license to approve it in a few days at the end of the state council.

The state gaming commission has recently announced that the casino license will not be awarded until December 31, 2025, and wants to open a casino facility at the Nassau Coliseum hub facility in Uniondale, Linear. He was blamed by executives.

Some industry officials say that lon g-term schedules are more advantageous for bidders facing political resistance, current land readjustment and land use issues.

Such a bidder has $ 12 billion on Mets owners, Steve Cohen, and Hudson Yards in Manhattan, who are trying to build a complex of $ 8 billion and entertainment next to Queen's City Field. Includes related companies / Win Resorts, which propose office tower complex facilities.

According to the sources, the faster time proposal increases the possibility of licensing the existing slot parlor-the resort world of the Akedact Racecourse and the MGM Empire City of the Yonkers Racecourse.

The two companies already have facilities and only need to expand to provide live card table games.

Adabo and Pretlow argue that they are not doing anything.

They just want to accelerate their schedule to bring thousands of employment and billions of dollars to states.

"It's taking too long. It's inefficient," said Addabbo, whose district includes Genting's Resorts World slot parlors in the Aqueduct in Queens.

"We have to move. At least 5, 000 jobs are on hold," he said.

Each bidder would pay at least $500 million in license fees to the state.

But it remains to be seen whether the locally appointed siting committee will recommend bids with outstanding issues to the Gaming Commission.

For example, Cohen would need the state Legislature to approve a bill to rezone vacant land around Citi Field from parkland to commercial zone in order to build a casino.

State Sen. Jessica Ramos, who represents the Willets Point district where the casino is proposed, has refused to introduce the bill or support the project, at least until now.

"I've been trying to move this process along," said Pretrow, whose district is near the racetrack in Yonkers. "It's taking too long. We're leaving $2 billion on the table," she said.
"Why are we dragging this out? We're spinning our wheels here."
Gov. Kathy Hochul, who oversees the Gaming Commission, did not say whether she would speed up the casino approval process.
"Governor Hochul reviews every bill that passes both houses," a spokesman told The Post.

The governor is up for reelection in 2026. Other casino plans include SL Green/Caesars/Roc Nation in Times Square, Bally's at Ferry Point in the Bronx, Silverstein Properties in Hell's Kitchen, and the Thor Equity consortium's gaming complex on the Boardwalk in Coney Island.
