    The state recently became the fourth to legalize online gambling, and PA sports betting could be on the horizon. That same gaming law from 2017 also legalized sports betting, should the US Supreme Court strike down the federal ban this spring. That would include mobile wagering as well as betting on sports at casinos.


    However, Offshore will still stand strong.

    Legalization = Exposure
    Exposure = More Players
    More Players = More Competition
    More Competition = More players finding better bonuses, odds, perks, and value Offshore

    It's a domino effect.

    Mine always takes 24-48hrs but from what I understand that is considered a long time compared to books which only take hours

    Offshore's future after US becomes legal online.....

    One advantage of using offshore books would be tax free offshore book transfers
    as they won't be watched near as hard by authoritative gaming lobbyists in DC ...........

    Some other advantages would have to be offering better odds,lower juice,better perks and bonuses
    across the board in order to compete......

    Pauley I get the tax issues but not sure how comfy I’m feeling with waiting for a 10k plus payout offshore. I’ll offset the wins & losses to make it appear I’ve broken even

    I’d love to know the percentage of Las Vegas residents who wager off shore. I’d think it a very small number.

    You be surprised. Im guessing that by time finished product reaches NJ its going to be super expensive. Look at how many are already looking to get their piece.

    I think one thing US bettors will find negative about regulation will be the KYC and AML requirements they will be hit with.

    It's one thing for books to be demanding bank statements and proof of income in the UK where gambling is tax free.

    But if the USA retains taxing on gambling I can see a lot of unhappy people with that.


    I think it might be tough to legally justify double taxing the industry and bettors on the same dollars once challenges are brought up too.

    Good point. This has been a huge problem in horse racing too.

    Many remember the days of PayPal, Neteller, and other methods.

    But once laws were passed to stop companies from moving money to & from offshore books, things got complicated & more difficult to move funds.

    Once no telling how many 3rd party companies start taking on moving money via player deposits & withdrawals, offshore books will surely once again find ways to take advantage.

    If the book is legal and regulated by the state all you need is a checking account....same thing we are doing here in Jersey with PokerStars. No need for 3rd party

    Checking account will be one of the options.

    No way it's the only one though.

    This NJ law is only for walk up bets

    nothing online or apps

    It was dumb because in future if they want it a long process

    Talk to me when prices will be better than 5 dimes, heritage, betonline, matchbook and pinnacle
    Talk to me when they have live betting on every game possible in world
    Talk to me when they have hundreds of soccer games per day
    Talk to me when they have every golf and tennis tourney daily betting and every league possible
    Talk to me when they have lines on many womens ncaa nightly

    The only way this works is if they have a geo-located phone app.....no one is going to Monmouth Park or Atlantic City to put a hundy on a game.

    Coach sadly you’re missing the point There’s a huge market for this yet you strike it down as ridiculous at every turn. The pro teams argument has always been “for the integrity of the game”. That argument flew out the window once pro franchise were allowed to move into Vegas. This is going to pass and like online poker is in NJ, will flourish.

    Competition always good for the consumer....there will still be bookies and offshore but they will just need to offer better lines etc to keep up

    Not sure if anyone saw but Draftkings just hired a "Head of Sportsbook" and has an office set up in NJ

    Nice little timeline here:

    http://www.espn.com/chalk/story/_/id...sey-vs-leagues

    Mark my words, by July 4th weekend you'll be able to legally make a wager on a sporting event in New Jersey.

    Will this hurt sbr's bottom line once wagering is legal in every state with mobile betting? I think it all depends on the price of lines, the variety of the markets available and the amount winnings will be taxed.

    I think SBR have been positioning themselves to be ready for the change for a long time. Hence the care about not letting US members buy points to bet in the sportsbook and stuff like that.

    Fingers crossed it's good for players and SBR.

    SBR will flourish if it passes as will Vegas as will offshore

    Offshore always will have the edge over everyone because of low coast to operate

    NOBODY CAN TOUCH THEM NEVER EVER,,Legal places a fun place to go but that is about it not much to offer but generic sports and bets and lines just like Vegas

    Thank You
