Internet gambling became legal in New Jersey last November.
Through surveys, researchers will first analyze the prevalence of online gambling and then follow-up to determine the impact on individuals.
The studies will identify what type of person chooses online gambling, who develops problems, and how those problems are different from those caused by other forms of legal gambling, the gambling studies center said.
