A 5210 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires those on self-exclusion lists to watch educational and counseling videos prior to removal from self-exclusion lists; permits third party requests for individuals to be excluded from gambling under certain circumstances.

This bill modifies New Jersey's self-exclusion program for casino and racetrack gambling by requiring individuals seeking to be removed from the exclusion list to watch educational and counseling videos about gambling risks before they can regain access. It also introduces a new provision allowing third parties, such as family members or creditors, to petition for the exclusion of another person if they can prove specific financial or legal ties, including joint debt responsibility or child support obligations. These changes aim to strengthen support for problem gamblers while expanding the ability of concerned parties to request exclusions based on documented financial harm.
