New Jersey says it needs new laws to better protect people engaged in gambling, including a requirement that all betting advertisements prominently include a message warning it may be addictive.
In a report issued Monday, the state’s Responsible Gambling Task Force recommended numerous protections for gamblers.
They include education in elementary schools about the risks of gambling; creating a one-stop website where people with a gambling problem can get help and exclude themselves from all forms of gambling at once; conducting an annual study of all forms of gambling; and expanding the range of gambling companies that contribute toward responsible-betting programs.
