Bill > A5207

This bill prohibits sports wagering licensees, including their employees, agents, and contracted operators, from advertising sports pool-related content through online platforms, web-based services, and mobile applications in the state of New Jersey. Specifically, the legislation bars these entities from posting, distributing, broadcasting, or otherwise making such advertisements publicly viewable, as well as from sponsoring or financing such advertisements. The bill also mandates that the Division of Gaming Enforcement establish rules and regulations to implement this prohibition, using the Administrative Procedure Act as a guideline, and empowers the division to take legal action to enforce these restrictions. The goal appears to be limiting the visibility and promotional reach of sports betting advertisements in the state, potentially to reduce gambling exposure or address concerns about aggressive marketing practices. The legislation would take effect immediately upon enactment.
