New Jersey launches two tools to fight problem gambling
New Jersey attorney general Matthew J. Platkin and the Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) director David Rebuck have announced two new tools to assist problem gamblers: a dedicated hotline and a virtual option to self-exclude from gaming activities.
Players seeking to exclude themselves from gambling can now contact the DGE via a toll-free phone number. To learn about and initiate the self-exclusion process, patrons can use that helpline to set up an in-person appointment with specially trained DGE staff or to take advantage of a new video conference service with DGE responsible gaming personnel.
