DraftKings launched the first mobile sportsbook in New Jersey on Aug. 1, making Thursday night’s Browns-Giants preseason game the first NFL game in which fans could place bets from inside the stadium.

New Jersey, Delaware, and Mississippi have joined Nevada in offering sports betting since the Supreme Court ruled to strike down PASPA, the federal law that prohibited the practice.
