Last week, Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino and the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort became the latest casinos to secure an Internet gambling license in the state of New Jersey.
Following that development, Trump Plaza announced today that it is partnering with British company Betfair to make the most of its gamble on Internet gambling.
Betfair is one of Britain’s largest online betting companies, and it owns TVG, the platform provider for 4NJBets. That is the only horse racing account-wagering platform available to New Jersey residents.
“New Jersey is leading the way by launching online gaming and creating a new economy,” Paul La Fontaine, the company’s managing director of gaming, tells NJ.com. “Betfair brings more than a decade of online experience, and through our platform will be pleased to enable play anywhere, anytime, through web and mobile devices.”
This news, however, comes as no surprise. The team at Trump has reportedly been interested in a partnership with Betfair for months.
Today’s report adds that only two of Atlantic City’s 12 casinos have not yet made public their Internet gambling plans.
Online gambling will formally commence on November 26th.
