Online Casinos Reaping Benefits of NJ Shutdown

Online casinos, where millions of adult Americans bet on sports, play poker and enjoy blackjack and other casino games online in a regulated and licensed jurisdiction.

With the New Jersey government shut down for the fifth straight day, causing the first closure of the city's gambling casinos in more than a quarter century, dedicated gamblers have not missed a beat at all this week, turning to the best online casinos like VIP Sports for their sports gambling entertainment.

"We've experienced a significant increase in the amount of casino and poker related revenue on our site today from our customers in and around the Atlantic City area," said Alex Czajkowski, Marketing Director of a large sportsbook.

With the government reportedly looking at a loss of approximately $1.3 million a day in taxes, which it generates from the state's 12 casinos, the loss of traffic to online casinos is of significant concern.

"One of the benefits of online casino gambling and what makes our business so successful is the fact that people can enjoy what we have to offer at any time and from anywhere, we're never closed," added Czajkowski.
