Statute of Limitations

New Jersey: 2 years for personal injury (N.J.S.A. § 2A:14-2); 6 years for consumer fraud under the NJ Consumer Fraud Act (N.J.S.A. § 2A:14-1). The longer consumer fraud SOL provides additional time for claims based on deceptive platform design.

2 years personal injury; 6 years consumer fraud

Filing Venue

Where to File in New Jersey

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. New Jersey's proximity to the major operators' East Coast operations and its role as the birthplace of legal sports betting make it a symbolically and strategically important jurisdiction.
