New Jersey

The market

New Jersey was the state that took the Supreme Court case overturning the federal betting ban, and it launched within months. A 19.75% online tax, raised from 13% in July 2025, and a field of fourteen online sportsbooks still make it one of the more promotion-rich markets in the US. The deep operator pool is good news for anyone working sign-up and reload offers.

What this means for matched betting

Fourteen operators at a 19.75% tax is still a good combination by US standards, even after the rise from 13% in July 2025. A wide field means you can almost always find a second book priced tightly enough to cover an offer, and a mid-range tax still leaves offers worth covering in the first place. If you are learning the method, this is still one of the easiest markets in the country to practise it in.
