With how popular sports betting has become in the United States, everyone wants a piece of the action. Sports wagering is a market that has dominated the U.S. in the last six years. While the demand to profit from sports betting is higher than it has ever been, not everyone can have the success they desire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In New Jersey, a bill is set to prohibit public colleges, universities, and their affiliates from partnering with sports betting and iGaming operators. This proposed bill is on the move and could come into effect down the line. The amended version of the A4113 bill<\/a> passed 6-0 by the Assembly Higher Education Committee on Monday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The A4113 bill would include prohibiting athletic departments or booster cubs from partnering with sports betting operators. That includes access to advertising at the institutions and stadium facilities via digital and broadcast content. This amended bill will include online casinos in New Jersey but it doesn\u2019t cover over a dozen private higher-learning institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n One change to the amended bill that did pass on Monday was allowing higher-learning institutions to partner with licensed gaming operators. The bill states that these are for \u201cacademic purposes\u201d to \u201c<\/span>provide experiential learning opportunities to students enrolled in the institution.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, the bill does state that institutional foundations related to a public institution of higher education are not prohibited from entering the market. This can happen as long as no marketing or advertising occurs. Direct advertising includes marketing or advertising at on-campus locations and off-campus locations. That includes any electronic advertising or marketing explicitly directly targeted to a student in an institution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat changes were made to the A4114 amended bill? <\/b><\/h2>\n
