New Jersey Grants Online Gambling Licenses

Last Friday the New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement issued online gambling licenses to seven Atlantic City casinos and their online gambling partners.

The New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement has issued its first seven online gambling licenses.
While most of the big names received licenses, the notable partnership missing from the list is that of PokerStars and the Resorts Hotel & Casino.
Eric Hollreiser, the head of Corporate Communications for PokerStars, said “Our application remains under review by NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement & we remain committed to working with them to complete the process.”
It is PokerStars’ second attempt to receive an online gaming license in New Jersey after a partnership with the Atlantic Club Casino collapsed earlier this year. While they have not yet received a license, they could still receive one at any time before the official launch of online gaming in the state.
