NJ Account Wagering - What Gives?

[Holland Hacker]

I live in New Jersey and have a NJ wagering account with the NJSEA. I get nothing back for having this account and I don't think there is a rewards program associated with it. Several years ago NJ legalized account wagering, but apparently only for accounts with the NJSEA.

I tried opening a TVG account on Saturday to take advantage of a Promo open an account wager $50 and get 50 deposited into you account. I reasoned that since TVG had recently signed an agreement to broadcast races from the Big M and Monmouth I would now be able to open an account. I figured cool I can bet the Magna 5 for free. WRONG. Living in NJ precludes me from opening a TVG account.

Does any one know why I can not have an account with TVG but can have one with NJSEA, other than the obvious (Politcal Bull Crap) Isn't this a violation of my Constitutional Rights, Isn't this somehow interfering with interstate commerce?
