TRENTON, N.J. – Online gamblers in New Jersey may soon receive monthly summaries of their betting activity under a proposal advancing in the state Legislature.
Senate Bill 4280, sponsored by Sen. John McKeon (D‑Essex, Passaic), would require online casinos and sportsbooks to issue regular statements detailing each patron’s wins and losses for the previous month.
“Casino licensees and their internet gaming affiliates shall provide patrons with regular statements concerning the patron’s internet gaming winnings and losses,” the bill states, adding that the summaries must include total dollar amounts for both categories.
The measure also mandates that operators deliver the recap via push notification — an automatic alert sent to a user’s device even when the gambling app is not open. McKeon says the requirement is intended to ensure players actually see the information.
Rapid Growth Fuels Responsible Gaming Push
New Jersey remains one of the nation’s most robust online gambling markets. In 2025, the state generated $2.91 billion in internet gaming revenue, trailing only Pennsylvania and Michigan. Sportsbooks handled $1.17 billion in wagers last year, a 7.5% increase from 2024, and revenue has continued to climb in 2026.
With that growth has come rising concern about gambling harms. McKeon’s proposal would make New Jersey the first state to require monthly activity statements for online gamblers — a tool supporters say could help players better understand the scope of their betting.
Only eight states currently allow iGaming: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, West Virginia, and New Jersey.
SB4280 has been referred to the Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation Committee, where McKeon serves as vice chair. The bill is not on the committee’s May 21 agenda but is expected to be taken up at a later meeting.
Other Responsible Gaming Bills Under Review
The committee will consider two other McKeon‑sponsored bills on Tuesday.
SB2356 would direct the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement to evaluate language requirements for gambling advertisements and potentially restrict where such ads can appear.
SB2362 would require individuals who self‑exclude from gambling to watch online educational and counseling videos before having their gambling privileges restored.
The push for additional safeguards follows a Rutgers University study showing New Jersey’s problem gambling rate is nearly triple the national average. Researchers found that about 6% of adults in the state meet the criteria for a gambling problem, and roughly 60% participate in some form of gambling annually.
