The state Division of Gaming Enforcement published regulations for sports betting on Monday in the New Jersey Register.

Casinos, horse-racing tracks and joint ventures could begin applying for $50,000 sports pool licenses beginning January 9.  It was not immediately known what companies, if any, were looking to apply for such a license. 

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has vowed to fight the suit brought forward by the NFL, Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League and the NCAA.
