"America's Playground" isn't the only New Jersey entity on the up and up, technologically speaking. The state is also home to a burgeoning
online gambling community. And speaking of facelifts: 888casino, one of
the operators currently approved to host online gambling activities in
New Jersey, recently went through one of its own, adding a huge host of
games to its online offerings and making it easier than ever for players
to enjoy casino gaming while on-the-go.
A bit of background behind New Jersey's growing online gambling scene: New Jersey officially legalized online gambling in 2013 with the
signing of Assembly Bill 2578. Players who are 21 or older are able to
partake in the activity through a number of verified sites. Gaming of
this kind is open to anyone visiting New Jersey — not just residents —
and there are a variety of measures in place to ensure gamer safety.
As part of these rigorous regulatory stipulations handled by the state's Division of Gaming Enforcement, only approved casinos and sites
are legally allowed to operate online gambling activities. Organizations
are vetted for "honesty, good character and integrity," and a number of
metrics are monitored to ensure the security of sites' information
systems.
All operators in New Jersey, including 888casino, require customers to enter their social security numbers upon sign-up. This practice helps
gauge gamers' eligibility and protects their identity as they play.
