Legal casino gaming in NJ was in a trial period starting on Thursday Nov 21. The hoops that they make people go through to get a account is crazy. First you need to have a cell phone number, then if you have a computer you need a WIFI card so they can verify your NJ location. They send you an email that you need to respond to in a certain amount of time or you have to reopen you account again. NJ thinks they will make 200 million dollars a year with this but with all the crap you need to go through to get an account they'll be lucky to get 20 million a year from online gaming. Also, some banks say they will not allow gambling transactions on credit cards they issue even though it's legal in NJ. This also limits how much money they make.

 Don't be funny. They want people to play even if they are just visiting NJ. Lets say you live in NY and you visit a friend in NJ you can gamble however you need to do all the things I said plus prove that you are 21 by signing up with one of the websites that the casinos use. Just a big headache for most people.

Seems rather simple and convenient to me. Nothing you listed is either difficult or out of the ordinary at all
