The market
New Jersey took the Supreme Court case that overturned the federal betting ban, and launched within months. Online operators pay 19.75%, up from 13% in July 2025, and fourteen online sportsbooks compete for customers. It's still one of the more promotion-rich markets in the US.
What this means for matched betting
Fourteen operators at a 19.75% tax is a good combination by US standards, even after the rise from 13% in July 2025. With that many books you can nearly always find a second one priced tightly enough to cover an offer, and the tax still leaves offers worth covering.
