New Jersey’s Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) has published the newly approved temporary regulations that will guide sports betting in the state a day before the first legal sports wager is set to be made.

Here are some salient points of the temporary rules issued by the DGE: first, an initial license will cost a minimum of $100k and a retainer fee of $250k must be paid to cover startup costs; second, land-based wagering at Atlantic City casinos will be taxed at 8.5%, while online wagering will face a 13% rate; third, a patron’s maximum allowable wager is pegged at $5m; and fourth, instead of an integrity fee, sportsbook operators are required to “have controls in place to identify unusual betting activity.”
