Whelan has always been seen as a strong supporter of online gambling in the state . The resolution has been sent to the <strong>Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism &amp; Historic Preservation Committee<\/strong> and is awaiting further progress.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stop Internet Gambling<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C_zl4H90DUE\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Both the resolutions do not have legal weight but are intended to send a strong message to federal authorities to not interfere in the state\u2019s rights to decide on its laws. If passed, the resolution will be considered the official stance of the state legislature. Mazzeo\u2019s resolution has advanced after its introduction, moving out of the <strong>Assembly Tourism, Gaming and the Arts Committee<\/strong> on Jan. 30.<\/p>\n<p>The resolutions have been initiated in response to recent indications that the current administration may be against online gaming. During his confirmation hearing, the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/story\/13950797\/1\/sen-sessions-reignites-online-gambling-debate-during-ag-confirmation-hearing.html\">U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions (video above)has expressed his shock at the reinterpretation of the 1961 Wire Act<\/a> by the <strong>Obama administration in 2011<\/strong> which enabled online gaming to become legal. Sessions had additionally stated at the hearing that if confirmed he would be taking another look at the legal interpretation of the Act.<\/p>\n<p>New Jersey legalized online gaming in 2013 and the industry has been seeing strong growth in the last couple of years. In 2016, online gaming in New Jersey grew by more than 32 percent over previous year, while land based casinos posted a marginal revenue decline of 0.3 percent. According to experts the tie-ups between online gaming operators and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.top10casinowebsites.net\/top-10-casinos-in-las-vegas\">brick-and-mortar casinos<\/a> has helped boost visitation and revenue for the casinos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Jersey State Senator Jim Whelan has introduced a new resolution in order to protect the state\u2019s online gaming industry.
