New Jersey Sports Betting Numbers Continue to Climb, Even as New York Goes Live

It was fair to wonder what impact New York launching online sports betting sites would have on New Jersey’s overall handle figures. So far, not much.

Sports betting in New Jersey continued to eclipse the $1 billion mark in January, setting a new monthly handle record of $1.34 billion, an increase of 9.7% from December’s $1.2 billion and 40.7% higher than January 2021’s $958.7 million.

"I can't wait to announce this exciting deal once it is finalized – it really will give RDG the most diverse stable of sports betting brands in the NJ market," Ed Andrewes, CEO of RDG, said in a media release. "This will also free up our third sports betting skin, allowing us to focus all our energy on our core casino customers," said Andrewes.

As a result of the deal, RDG will not offer sports wagering on its Resorts Casino website. All existing unsettled bets will stand and customers will be able to withdraw funds at any time. Players can continue to use Resort’s online slots, table games and live dealer products.

The launch of the new brand will be subject to approval from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement.
