New Jersey lawmakers have introduced Senate Bill 4280, a measure that would require casinos and sports wagering operators to send patrons monthly push notifications detailing their wins and losses.
Sponsored by Senator John F. McKeon, the bill amends existing casino and sports wagering laws to add new transparency requirements. The notifications must include the total dollar amounts of winnings and losses since the last statement, along with any other information the Division of Gaming Enforcement considers appropriate.
How the bill changes casino and sports wagering rules
The proposal builds on long‑standing regulations governing casinos and online sports pools in New Jersey.
Under the bill, casino licensees, their internet gaming affiliates, and sports wagering operators must provide patrons with regular statements through push notifications or other electronic methods chosen by the user. These statements are required at least once per month.
The legislation also ties the new rule to broader financial reporting standards already in place, ensuring consistency across gaming operations. The Division of Gaming Enforcement would oversee the implementation, setting the format and details of the notifications.
The bill goes on to reinforce existing advertising rules, which already mandate responsible gambling messages such as “Bet with your head, not over it” and “If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1‑800 GAMBLER.” If enacted, the law would take effect immediately.
NJ joins nationwide trend
New Jersey’s push to require monthly win‑loss notifications fits into a broader movement across the United States to tighten gambling oversight.
In New York, lawmakers are advancing Assembly Bill 10329, which would force mobile sportsbooks to send bettors detailed monthly statements. Unlike New Jersey’s focus on wins and losses, the New York proposal goes further, demanding a full breakdown of deposits, wagers, time spent on the app, and bonuses used.
These reports would arrive through push notifications and remain accessible inside each bettor’s account.
Massachusetts has already adopted strict reporting rules, though its system only requires operators to provide account statements when requested, not automatically each month.
This year has already seen New Jersey advance multiple gaming bills, including proposals to ban fast-paced microbetting, prediction markets, and also tighten rules on gambling promotions.
Earlier this month, Assemblyman Michael Venezia introduced a bill that would temporarily raise money through special surcharges tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It included a 10% tax on online sports wagers placed on World Cup matches, with casinos and horse racing operators required to pay the levy on net betting revenue.
