Designates sweepstakes casinos as internet gaming; requires licensure, oversight, and taxation thereof within internet gaming framework.

This bill designates online sweepstakes casinos as a regulated form of internet gaming under New Jersey's existing framework. It requires these operators to obtain licenses, submit to state oversight, and pay taxes on their gross revenue - defined as total income from gaming minus winnings paid to participants. The bill specifically targets platforms that offer games using "free currency" (non-cash tokens) that players can combine with purchased credits to win redeemable prizes, while prohibiting direct cash redemption of the free currency itself. It directly affects operators of such platforms, not end-users, by integrating them into the state's casino licensing system. The legislation amends prior gaming statutes to clarify definitions and licensing requirements for these digital gaming services.
