New Jersey’s internet gaming rules (N.J.A.C. 13:69O-1.3) require that card-funded balances are refunded to the card first, up to the deposit amount, and allow payouts by bank transfer, prepaid card, sports wagering kiosk or cash at the casino cage. Operators may not impose wagering requirements on withdrawals of a patron’s own funds or offer incentives to cancel a withdrawal. A rule adopted in October 2026 gives patrons a three-day window to cancel a withdrawal and bars operators from soliciting it.

Key takeaways

  • Card-funded balances go back to the card first, if the issuer allows it [1].
  • Permitted payouts include verified bank transfer, prepaid card, kiosk cash-out up to $3,000 and cash at the cage for known patrons [1].
  • No wagering requirement on withdrawals of a patron’s own funds, and no incentives to cancel a withdrawal [1].
  • Patrons have three days to cancel a withdrawal request; operators may not solicit cancellation [2].
  • Operators must hold reserves at least equal to patron balances, funds on game and pending withdrawals [1].
