Market share is very important in this business, and that&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to be there first.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Lesniak is also reported to be saying that he &#8220;welcomes federal legislation,&#8221; but &#8220;Once New Jersey is up and running, there&#8217;s no way the federal government would shut us down. I know our U.S. Senators and Congressional delegation would prevent that from happening. When a federal bill passes, I think it will just open it up nationwide and, because of our marketing share and agreements with other states, we&#8217;ll be in position to take advantage.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Jersey State Legislature could lead to multi-state pooling of U.S. poker players with New Jersey playing a lead role in regulation of the industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,18],"tags":[9,32,33],"class_list":["post-5884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-igaming","category-n-america","tag-featured","tag-jersey","tag-new"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>New Jersey will pool online poker with other states - iGaming Post<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gaming-awards.com\/NEWS\/new-jersey-will-pool-online-poker-with-other-states\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"New Jersey will pool online poker with other states - iGaming Post\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"New Jersey State Legislature could lead to multi-state pooling of U.S. poker players with New Jersey playing a lead role in regulation of the industry.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gaming-awards.com\/NEWS\/new-jersey-will-pool-online-poker-with-other-states\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"iGaming Post\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2012-03-08T00:05:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Staff\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@igamingpost\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@igamingpost\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Staff\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gaming-awards.com\\\/NEWS\\\/new-jersey-will-pool-online-poker-with-other-states\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gaming-awards.com\\\/NEWS\\\/new-jersey-will-pool-online-poker-with-other-states\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Staff\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gaming-awards.com\\\/NEWS\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/38b848f26341d94a3f6b1f5d9642234c\"},\"headline\":\"New Jersey will pool online poker with other states\",\"datePublished\":\"2012-03-08T00:05:40+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gaming-awards.com\\\/NEWS\\\/new-jersey-will-pool-online-poker-with-other-states\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":239,\"commentCount\":0,\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gaming-awards.com\\\/NEWS\\\/#organization\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/gaming-awards.com\\\/NEWS\\\/new-jersey-will-pool-online-poker-with-other-states\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"\",\"keywords\":[\"featured\",\"jersey\",\"new\"],\"articleSection\":[\"iGaming\",\"N.
