Mobile + retail. The 2018 PASPA-overturning state. Largest handle in US.
New Jersey is the state that brought down PASPA in the 2018 Supreme Court case Murphy v. NCAA. Launched immediately and now has the largest handle in the US — over $12B annually. DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, BetRivers, ESPN BET, Fanatics, Hard Rock Bet, bet365, and more operate. The state's tax rate (13% mobile) and operator-friendly regulation has made it the US standard.
