New Jersey to Host Inaugural Betting on Sports America Event
November 23, 2018 Jim Murphy
The maiden Betting on Sports America event will be held in New Jersey’s Meadowlands Exposition Center from April 23rd to 25th next year. It will be organized by Sports betting and gaming organizer SBC Events and has already gained by Hard Rock International as well as the Mississippi Gaming Commission.
The First of Its Kind
While the rest of the US is still settling to the newly arose situation in which states found the fate of sports betting liberalization in their own hands again, New Jersey is way past all that and already picking plentiful fruits from their thriving market.
Coinciding with the opening of two colossal land-based properties, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and Ocean Resort , sportbooks in NJ have started their proverbial engines in June and have been nothing but a success story since…
…Particularly in September and October, when it boasted the $500 million in case of a latter month.
Betting on Sports America (that already has a trending hashtag #bosamerica) will be the biggest event dedicated to sports betting ever to take place on the North American continent.
Premier Roster Taking Shape
Although there is still time for the entire list of attendees and participating names to be populated, it’s already known that Hard Rock, Kindred, Missouri Lottery, Mississippi Gaming Commission, Foxwoods, Webis Holdings and National Council on Problem Gambling will all be represented.
Over 1,500 delegates and 60 exhibitors and 175 speakers from the helm of the industry are expected to mark this occasion taking place inside the 61,000-square feet exhibition space of Meadowlands venue.
The list of eminent delegates includes but is not limited to Kresimir Spajic (Hard Rock International), May Scheve (Missouri Lottery), Allen Godfrey (Mississippi Gaming Commission), Andrew Winchell (Chief of Staff to New York State Senator), Chris Grove (Legal Sports Report), Daniel Wallach (Wallach Legal LLC), Manuel Stan (Kindred Group) and Seth Young (PointsBet).
The event will consist of seven conference tracks and will kick off with a party near Times Square. The two-day conference and exhibition will begin the following day, April 24th. The event closes with a “spectacular party” on Manhattan.
A Need to Fit New Environment
One of the speakers, NG’s executive director Keith Whyte, states: “It’s a great opportunity to advocate for responsible gambling with key stakeholders in the sports betting sector, but also to learn about the latest trends and products from industry leaders and develop mutually beneficial partnerships.”
Webis Holdings’ managing director Ed Comins , who will also be holding a lecture, added that he is pleased that horse racing will also be included in next year’s inaugural BoS America and added: “There is no doubting there are opportunities for the sport, but it needs to be positioned in the right way to fit the new environment.”

Not surprising, given the huge success sports betting enjoys in NJ, but certainly earlier than I expected. The first time is always the hardest, so presumably, the event will only get better if it gets repeated in following years.
