New Jersey Proposes Mandatory Monthly Betting Statements
New Jersey lawmakers have introduced a bill that would force casinos and sports betting operators to tell players exactly how much they are winning and losing each month.
Senate Bill 4280 was sponsored by Senator John F. McKeon. It would amend current casino and sports wagering laws in the state.
Under the proposal, casino licensees, internet gaming affiliates, and sports wagering operators would be required to send patrons regular statements. These would come through push notifications or other electronic methods selected by the user.
The statements must include total dollar amounts of winnings and losses since the last notification. They would be sent at least once per month.
The Division of Gaming Enforcement would oversee how the system works. The agency would set the format and decide what additional details need to be included.
The bill also ties into existing financial reporting standards already used across gaming operations in the state. This is meant to keep things consistent for operators and regulators.
If passed, the law would take effect immediately.
Other States Are Moving in the Same Direction
New Jersey is not alone in pushing for more transparency in gambling. New York lawmakers are advancing Assembly Bill 10329, which targets mobile sportsbooks.
The New York proposal goes further than New Jersey’s bill. It would require a full breakdown of deposits, wagers, time spent on apps, and bonuses used.
Those reports would be delivered through push notifications and stored inside each bettor’s account for future access.
Massachusetts already has reporting rules on the books. However, its system only requires operators to provide account statements when a player asks for one, not automatically each month.
New Jersey has been active on gambling legislation throughout 2026. Lawmakers have introduced proposals to ban fast-paced microbetting and prediction markets. They have also moved to tighten rules around gambling promotions.
Earlier this month, Assemblyman Michael Venezia introduced a separate bill that would raise money through surcharges tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. That proposal includes a 10% tax on online sports wagers placed on World Cup matches.
Casinos and horse racing operators would be required to pay the levy on net betting revenue from those bets.
The bill also reinforces existing advertising rules. Operators are already required to include responsible gambling messages such as “Bet with your head, not over it” in their promotions.
The push for win-loss notifications reflects a growing pattern of state-level action on gambling transparency across the country. Assemblyman Venezia’s World Cup tax bill remains under consideration as the tournament approaches.
