With online and mobile gambling set to commence in the state of New Jersey in less than two weeks, ample questions remain with regard to how the arrival will play out for gamers and casino operators alike.
This week, New Jersey is aiming to answer some of these burning questions.
First up: the rules for online and mobile gambling promotions in the Garden State.
According to state officials, it’s important for gamers to know that they may not be able to instantly cash out out their winnings when promotions are involved.
The state’s top casino regulator says casinos can require gamblers to reach a certain amount of play before cashing out. For instance, a casino can make an offer in which it requires a customer to deposit $100 in an account, and matches that with $100 of its own. The casino could require the customer to make $1,000 worth of bets before cashing out any winnings.
According to a local news report (via NorthJersey.com) players could still walk away from a promotional offer partway through, “and cash out any of his or her initial deposit that remains in the account.”
These “little issues” will likely become clearer as online gambling formally gets underway in New Jersey on November 26th.
