Don’t Gamble with the State's Economic Future – Oppose Tax Hikes!

"The Murphy Administration's proposal to double taxes on regulated iGaming and sports betting may seem like an easy way to raise revenue, but the consequences for the gaming industry, the economy it supports, and the jobs it provides could be devastating. New Jersey has been a national model in this industry - why ruin it?"

5 Reasons New Jersey Should Reject Higher Taxes on iGaming and Sports Betting

New Jersey is considered the Gold Standard for Regulated iGaming and Sports Betting

New Jersey set the national benchmark, demonstrating how regulated iGaming and sports betting can thrive, protect consumers, and generate significant revenue for state and local communities.

New Jersey’s Gaming Industry is an Economic Powerhouse

The gaming industry drives billions of dollars in economic activity annually and directly supports over 23,000 local jobs in New Jersey. Raising taxes threatens this vital economic engine.

iGaming and Sports Betting Fuel More Than Half of New Jersey's Gaming Revenue

Regulated iGaming and sports betting generate 55% of all gaming revenue in New Jersey. Protecting this revenue stream is crucial for sustaining the state’s budget and economic health.

Higher Taxes Will Drive Jobs and Investment Out of New Jersey

Doubling taxes on iGaming and sports betting risks driving innovative companies, skilled jobs, and critical investment away from New Jersey, benefiting other states and the illegal market instead.

Atlantic City’s Revitalization Relies on iGaming and Sports Betting Growth

Continued growth and investment in iGaming and sports betting are essential to Atlantic City’s ongoing economic revival. Higher taxes would jeopardize this progress and undermine the city’s future success.
