A 5822 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires adoption and implementation of cybersecurity standards by casinos and sportsbooks; establishes safe gaming certification program.

This bill requires all New Jersey casinos and sports wagering businesses (including their affiliated operators) to adopt cybersecurity programs meeting NIST or ISO standards within 180 days. It mandates annual third-party audits of these programs, 72-hour breach reporting for data compromises, and employee cybersecurity training. Businesses exceeding minimum standards can earn a "Safe Gaming Seal" through a new certification program featuring enhanced encryption, fraud detection, and responsible gaming tools. Violations incur fines ($10,000 first offense) or potential license suspension, with rules to be established by the Division of Gaming Enforcement.
