New Jersey gaming officials have ruled that online gambling company Betfair can continue to operate on the Internet after it's existing brick-and-mortar partner Trump Plaza closes its doors in two weeks. David Rebuck, director of the state Division of Gaming Enforcement, say that Betfair will be allowed to continue to run their online casino until the Plaza turns in their gaming license, which may be some time after the September 16th closing. Betfair, based in London, should have enough time to find another casino to partner with, whether it is one that already offers internet gaming or one that does not. Under New Jersey law, Internet gaming companies must partner with existing brink-and-mortar casinos to take online bets. All Internet gambling must also take place within the state.
