Permits use of credit card, debit card, or other electronic payment for bingo, raffles, and penny auctions.
This bill allows bingo halls, raffle organizers, and penny auction operators in New Jersey to accept credit cards, debit cards, or other electronic payments for tickets or shares. It requires the Legalized Games of Chance Control Commission to create regulations enabling these electronic payment methods, which are currently prohibited under existing law. The change directly affects licensed operators of these games and their customers, who will now have more payment options. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
