A gambler in New Jersey who voluntarily signed up for lifetime self-exclusion from the state’s casinos cannot change that decision, a NJ appeals court has ruled.
The court said the ban is not affected by the gambler’s decision to enter casinos outside the state.
The decision affirms earlier rulings by the Casino Control Commission and the Division of Gaming Enforcement in a case involving a petitioner identified as S.D.
According to the case summary, S.D. selected New Jersey’s lifetime voluntary self-exclusion option on July 26, 2004, then sought removal less than a month later. He argued that he meant only to bar himself from New Jersey casinos and did not understand the ban could affect access to casinos outside the state.
