Bill > A430

Introduced Session

This bill allows problem gamblers to request placement on Division of Gaming Enforcement's (DGE) list for self-excluded persons through the division's website, by mail, or in-person. Under current law, the DGE provides regulations to establish a list of persons self-excluded from gaming activities at all licensed casinos and simulcasting facilities. Any person may request placement on the list of self-excluded persons. Current DGE regulations require that a person must self-exclude from any in-person casino gambling by appearing in-person at either the DGE office in Atlantic City or by visiting one of the various offices of the New Jersey Racing Commission. However, a person is permitted to self-exclude from any internet gambling through the division's website or an online player account. This bill provides additional methods for players to self-exclude from in-person gambling. The bill requires the division to establish procedures to permit persons requesting placement on the list of self-excluded persons for any in-person gambling to submit the required documentation through the division's website, by mail, or in-person. The regulations will include measures to verify the identity and intention of self-exclusion by the player wishing to self-exclude and the verification shall be specific to the self-exclusion method the player chooses. These measures will ensure that the person submitting the self-exclusion request is, in fact, the person who will be excluded from gambling.
