The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority is now offering automated telephone betting in addition to its New Jersey Account Wagering, which started in October 2004 with the internet-only service.
“The Internet wagering has gone smoothly, and we have been able to gain valuable experience in building our business office. We now will be making a much stronger push for customers and in broadening the awareness that this opportunity exists for New Jersey residents to wager off track,” said NJSEA senior vice president Dennis Dowd.
Local residents will be able to bet online and by phone on New Jersey racing, and any incoming simulcasting signals, through a single account.
