New Jersey Crushes Previous National Sports Betting Monthly Record

When it comes to sports betting, New Jersey owes a great deal of gratitude to former Governor Chris Christie.

It was Christie who made the case before The United States Supreme Court, or, none of this would be possible in the first place.

After setting a record by becoming the first jurisdiction ever to record more than $ 1 billion in sports wagering in a single month (September, 2021) … New Jersey has done it, again.

September, 2021 featured $ 1.01 billion in sports bets.
