A total of 37 online gambling companies have applied to serve the Garden State and its nearly 9 million people.

The New Jersey state Gaming Enforcement Division says it received the applications by Monday's deadline for initial consideration, a major milestone in Atlantic City's development of online betting.

Approved websites will be permitted to begin offering real money online gambling by November 23.  All 12 of the city’s casinos have announced their intention to offer Web gambling through partnership arrangements.  These include the Resorts Casino, which has partnered with the world’s largest real money Internet poker room, PokerStars, and the Trump Taj Mahal, which has joined forces with Ultimate Poker, a Stations Casino-backed brand that is the first and only virtual cardroom to serve the state of Nevada. 

Atlantic City’s most popular casino poker room at the Borgata is slated to go online utilizing bwin.party’s software. 

London-based 2UP Gaming PLC confirmed it had just made Monday's deadline.  They intend to either buy an existing property or perhaps construct their own if permitted.London-based 2UP Gaming PLC
