Dear Gentlemen:

The Commission is aware of certain public statements

contemplating the commencement of sports wagering at racetracks in New
Jersey prior to the enactment of new enabling legislation. Please be advised
that no activity related to sports wagering may take place on the grounds of a
racetrack unless the persons and entities involved have filed an application
and obtained a vendor's license from the Commission in accordance with
N.J.A.C. 13;70-4.1(a) (16) or N.J.A.C. 13 :71-7.1(a) (9) . Participation in sports
wagering, or in services related to sports wagering, on the grounds of the
racetrack without first obtaining the necessary license will result in the
Commission taking disciplinary action against that person or entity.

Additionally, as you may be aware, both houses of the Legislature

has passed comprehensive legislation requiring the issuance of a sports
wagering license by the Commission and the regulation of sports wagering by
the Division of Gaming Enforcement, which legislation is now under
consideration by the Governor. The conduct of sports wagering related
activities by persons or entities prior to the final passage of this legislation may
bear upon their suitability for licensure under the anticipated law; accordingly,

• #* ~~k*~~~~,~ TELEPxoNE: (609) 292-0613 Ft~: (609) 599-1785

it should be fully understood that any improprieties or adverse conduct related

to any unregulated activities would have the potential to jeopardize their ability
to be licensed for sports wagering under the new law.

Sincerely,
