Is there some NJ law against taking a bet on a game in NJ? But even if so, it should be on them for putting the game on the board. That's their mistake. If they don't pay, they are scum. And with vehicles like Twitter and Yelp, we can rail against businesses like that.

I would guess that there is almost no chance the NJ DGE (Div. of Gaming Enforcement) would rule in your favor. They stood behind FanDuel reneging on live bets approved by the book, but with a slow data feed.

there is a law ... no bets on NCAA in new jersey . The division of gaming has fined the books in the past that took bets. I would get them in trouble i guess if i complained with even getting paid...

Were you aware of the location of the game when you made the bet?

No I did not. I knew it was not a home game Don Best puts a "N" next to the game.. funny thing is the game was less than 15 miles from me

Not trying to pile on here, , but how on earth do you wager on a contest not knowing where it's taking place? This is Fezzik-type stuff.

This becomes particularly important when you know it's a neutral site game. The site can affect so many things.

What if it were out west somewhere at altitude?
What if it were much closer to one team's home than the other's?
What if it were in a dome with a poor shooting background, and one team was way more dependent on jump shooting than the other?

You get my point...

(Although to be fair, apparently the book didn't know the location either. LOL)

With regard to this case, I agree with FW. I highly doubt had you lost, they would have collected. If for some reason they did, you would have recourse with the DGE. I don't think they were freerolling you.

Are you able to tell us which book? Understand if you can't.

Doesn't matter where the game is played. No bets on NJ teams period.

The NJ venue (where the game is played) applies here, since neither team was from NJ ( K State vs Miss State)

I guarantee you that we have all done that.

Its not always clearly indicated that it is a neutral site game, and it can slip my mind to even check.

Happens all the time in early season college sports (football AND basketball)

Good suggestion Dogball. Ask for a free play since you made the bet in good faith.
Remember, they can view it as you taking a shot if they decide to spin it that way so be nice.
Game loses and player could cry foul because of NJ reg so you have to be a step above civil when
asking.
