With all the unavoidable chatter and corresponding buzz surrounding online gambling’s legalization in New Jersey, it’s hard to imagine anyone not familiar with this monumental development, let alone residents of New Jersey.
But, apparently, a large number of New Jersey residents – we’re talking close to half – are oblivious to the looming arrival of iGaming in the Garden State.
The findings of a new survey spearheaded by Poker Affiliate Solutions show that 46.6 percent of New Jersey residents admit that they are “not at all familiar” with New Jersey’s freshly-regulated online gaming market.
Online gambling is scheduled to formally commence November 26th.
Privy to the full report, PokerNews revealed on Wednesday a number of specifics gleaned from the survey.
Of the approximately 500 people surveyed, 62.2 percent of respondents said that they would “definitely not play,” while 8 percent “definitely will play.”
“In terms of challenges, the survey data suggests that a vast majority of New Jersey residents are under-informed or completely uninformed regarding the impending rollout of legal, regulated online gambling in New Jersey,” Poker Affiliate Solutions announced following the publication of the survey’s findings.
