Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.

02 · Where cases are heard

Where would my case be heard?

New Jersey sports betting is regulated by the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) under the Casino Control Act as amended. DraftKings (headquartered in Boston but licensed in NJ), FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, and other operators hold NJ sports wagering licenses. Cases may be filed in the District of New Jersey (Newark/Camden) or state Superior Court. The NJ Consumer Fraud Act provides treble damages and attorney fees, making it a powerful plaintiff tool.
