It didn’t take long for casinos and racetracks in New Jersey to start accepting sports bets after it became legal in June. With the NFL season right around the corner, there are currently 6 casinos in Atlantic City that will take your sports bets and a pair of racetracks, Monmouth Park and the Meadowlands, are also accepting sports wagers. 6t3pn

Sports betting was responsible for The Garden State hauling in $40.6 Million in July and that figure is expected to rise once the NFL regular season gets underway.

Punters are waiting to find out if the Tropicana and Hard Rock will start offering odds for sports betting but, in the meantime, here are the places in New Jersey where you can bet on sports.
