On Tuesday, the NJ DGE announced it was currently authorized to approve skill-based games (including games such as Candy Crush and Words With Friends) and is eager to receive skill-based game submissions for review.

I'll be the first to say - they may as well forget real money Scrabble / Words with Friends... it's way too easy to cheat. There are easily available tools that will give you the best possible answers.

Very interesting idea though... would like to see it applied to games like Call of Duty

Poker is infinitely more complex than Scrabble?

Cervix will always be a ****ing powerful Scrabble word, but there's a lot of thinking to be done when you got two 9s in the pocket.

I'm not saying that it will stop it... Just saying you'd have to be a fool to play for any significant amount unless you're in the same room to watch the other person

this would be insane... but it could create more jobs in NJ ideally.

Not for high volume grinders, bots, or high volume grinding bots.

That's true but the games available are very limited. If they could get it to work for $1-5 microbets on things like video game matches it could be very profitable. Much harder to cheat playing Street Fighter rather then scrabble.
