A 550 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Allows problem gamblers to request placement on Division of Gaming Enforcement's list for self-excluded persons through division's website, by mail, or in-person.

This bill (A 550) allows individuals seeking to self-exclude from in-person casino gambling in New Jersey to submit requests through the Division of Gaming Enforcement's website, by mail, or in-person - expanding current options that previously required in-person visits to offices. It mandates the division to establish verification procedures specific to each submission method (e.g., confirming identity and intent for online vs. mail requests) and requires casinos to deny excluded individuals access to benefits like credit or promotions. The bill also protects casinos from liability if they accidentally allow excluded persons to gamble or disclose exclusion status in non-willful cases. It directly affects problem gamblers who voluntarily seek to restrict their casino access, aligning physical casino self-exclusion with existing online options.
