Betting on Sports America Conference to Feature a Keynote Speech by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy

Between April 23rd and 25th, USA’s largest sports betting trade event and conference, Betting on Sports America, will be taking place and bringing experts and relevant authorities from all facets of this thriving gaming vertical.

Among the participants addressing the attendees will be Phil Murphy, the Governor of New Jersey whose sports wagering market is doing particularly well since its inception. He will be sharing his vision for future of this market and gambling segment…

…in front of the large audience in Meadowlands Exposition Center. Networking parties for the event will be held in both New Jersey and New York.

A Diversity of Speakers

The event will be graced by the presence of innovators and creative masterminds working closely with the industry…

…as well as political arena figures that helped push sports wagering in the US to the next level.

Governor Murphy ushered in a new era of New Jersey’s gambling scene, casinos and racetracks when he signed the sports betting bill last spring, almost immediately after PASPA was proclaimed unconstitutional. A plethora of new businesses and operators were attracted to the Garden State and have since boosted its funding prospects.

Murphy placed the historic first legal sports wager at Oceanport’s Monmouth Park – he put $20 on German winning the 2018 FIFA World Cup and the same amount on New Jersey Devils winning the Stanley Cup.

A Proper Champion of Sports Betting

With this vital role Jersey has played in getting sports betting on to statute books…

…it is only fitting that Gov Murphy – a vocal er of sports betting and a person ensuring that this vertical is functional and fair – is among the key figures giving a keynote speech at this year’s event.

He said of his attendance at Betting on Sports America:

“It is my pleasure to address delegates from the international sports betting industry who will us here in New Jersey for the inaugural Betting on Sports America conference.”

“We are immensely proud of the integral part that New Jersey played in taking down PASPA and in doing so laying the solid foundations for legal sports wagering to be enjoyed by Americans across the nation. New Jersey has been a sports betting success story and we hope that other states seeking to go legal will replicate that positive experience.”

Making the Event Worthwhile

The event is organized by SBC and its sub-brand, SBCEvents.com, responsible for some of the most notable happenings of this kind throughout Europe. They also manage a network of betting and gaming industry news portals and resources dedicated to the development of sports betting in America.

Rasmus Sojmark, SBC founder and CEO, announced the Governor’s involvement in the discussion…

…by stating that having someone of Murphy’s huge political stature will make the event unmissable. He is certain that Governor will play a “fundamental part in shaping and delivering legal sports wagering for NJ.”
