New Jersey, Delaware reach iGaming deal

9 Sep 2015

By Dan Podheiser

New Jersey and Delaware reached an historic agreement last week that will allow Scientific Games, which operates its business from servers based in Atlantic City, to offer its content through the Delaware Lottery's online gambling platform to players in Delaware.

The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement's (DGE) approval of the deal marks the first time that New Jersey has reached a compact with another state for regulated online gambling.

"This arrangement exemplifies a great collaborative effort between the Delaware Lottery, the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, Scientific Games and Caesars Interactive Entertainment," DGE Director David Rebuck said in a statement.

The agreement does not represent a liquidity sharing arrangement, however. In March 2015, Delaware and Nevada signed a deal to pool their online poker players.

According to numbers provided by the DGE, New Jersey's online gambling revenue in July was $12.5 million, including $1.89 million from poker, down from $2.15 million in July 2014. Delaware netted just $30,675.13 from online poker in June 2015, the most recent month of available data from the Delaware Lottery.
