Since New Jersey legalizes online casino gambling, Fanatics users in the state will also be able to enjoy a variety of classic and popular casino games on the platform, like slots, blackjack, and roulette. Fanatics is now live in four jurisdictions with its casino offerings, including Michigan, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

New Jersey Considers College Prop Ban
Last month, a bill was introduced in the New Jersey Senate that could impact sportsbook offerings in the state. Bill S3089, proposed by Sen. Kristin Corrado, R-Passaic, seeks to prohibit operators from accepting player-specific proposition wagers on college sports.
While New Jersey currently supports college prop betting, the new legislation, if passed, would restrict sportsbooks from offering such wagers.
States like Maryland, Vermont, and Ohio already banned college prop bets in their jurisdictions.
