New Jersey has expanded its Atlantic City casino self-exclusion program with an improved online registration system, making it easier for problem gamblers to voluntarily restrict their access to gambling facilities.

The Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) now offers a 24/7 user-friendly online portal for self-exclusion registration, eliminating the previous requirement of in-person casino visits or video consultations with DGE representatives.

The enhanced program allows individuals to:

• Register completely online for the first time
• Choose between casino-only or combined casino and online gambling exclusion
• Maintain greater privacy and confidentiality
• Access the service at any time
• Still opt for in-person or video registration if preferred

The self-exclusion program, originally established in 2001 for physical casinos and expanded in 2013 for online gambling, remains a crucial tool for responsible gaming. Gambling addiction specialists consider self-exclusion one of the most effective methods for individuals to manage problem gambling, especially when combined with therapy.

This expansion is part of New Jersey's broader responsible gaming initiative, which includes various player protection tools such as:

• Time limits
• Deposit restrictions
• Loss limits
• Frequency of play controls

The streamlined registration process aims to encourage more individuals to utilize the self-exclusion option, providing easier access to those seeking to proactively manage their gambling habits.
