Grewal announced this week that the state adopted its first set of rules for fantasy sports activities. These\u00a0<strong><em>rules<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0were designed to protect children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Division informed that the new rules implement a 2017 law that required fantasy sports operator to obtain permits from the authority and comply with other requirements to protect participants in New Jersey\u2019s online sports betting segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new rules require fantasy sports operators to adopt procedures to ensure that no one under the age of 18 participates in fantasy sports activities. Fantasy sports operators also are prohibited from advertising in publications or media aimed exclusively at minors, at K-12 schools and at sports venues used exclusively for K-12 student sports activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fantasy sports operators also must offer individuals the ability to restrict themselves from participating in fantasy sports activities if they so choose. Other consumer protections in the new rules include a requirement that fantasy sports operators maintain adequate procedures for processing complaints from participants, and restrictions on participation by employees, officers, directors, and owners of fantasy sports operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>NJ regulator warns advertisers<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE), has&nbsp;<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/focusgn.com\/new-jersey-warns-advertisers-gambling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">issued a warning<\/a><\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;to media outlets to urge them to stop accepting advertisement from unlicensed operators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>David Rebuck, director of the\u00a0<strong><em>DGE<\/em><\/strong>, wrote an open letter to the news outlets in which he shared his concern about consumer protection measures and the lack of them.

He said that if illegal sites are promoted, they should specify that they do not hold a proper licence to operate in the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Division of Consumer Affairs from New Jersey has announced that the new fantasy sports rules address operator fees and protection for minors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs has enacted its inaugural fantasy sports regulations, mandating operator permits and stringent protections for minors, including age verification, advertising restrictions, and self-exclusion options.
