Esports Betting Bill Moves Forward in New Jersey

In a state which constantly searches for new types of bets, New Jersey lawmakers are offering a bill to allow wider use of competitive esports betting.

Many esports betting sites have gladly welcomed the news, as well as many esports tournament holders which increases the esports viewing experience.

A state parliamentary committee introduced a draught bill on Thursday to clarify the esports rules and expressly make it possible for tournaments to be betted as long as there are no high school teams or a majority of competitors under the age of 18 years old.
