The Division of Gaming Enforcement will have jurisdiction over Internet gaming at casinos that originates from racetracks and will establish minimum standards for the equipment used and locations at a racetrack from which wagers may be placed. Internet wagering from racetracks will not be subject to regulation by the New Jersey Racing Commission.
