Fresh off its real money online gambling kickoff in the Garden State, WSOP.com has announced its New Jersey Online Championships Tournament Series available to those either living or visiting the state.

The event will culminate with the $250,000 WSOP.com Online Championship Freeroll.

New Jersey became the third state after Nevada and Delaware to offer online gambling, but it is by far the largest legal market in the US with a population near 9 million residing within the state itself and another 9 million regionally who can simply cross the border to play.

Six Atlantic City casinos currently offer statewide Internet gambling: the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa; the Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino; the Tropicana Casino and Resort; Bally's Atlantic City; and Caesars Atlantic City. The Golden Nugget Atlantic City is fixing some bugs with its system and will join them soon.

In a report issued Tuesday, Moody's Investors Service said Internet gambling will help Atlantic City, particularly the Borgata and the four casinos owned by Caesars Entertainment. The report said online betting will not be an immediate game-changer, generating $250 million to $500 million in the first year.
