New Jersey regulators are seeking to put an end to the patchwork approach to responsible gambling in the online casino and sportsbook world, introducing a set of draft rules that would take what’s long been voluntary and make it mandatory: clear thresholds, automatic flags, and required interventions when players show signs of problem gambling.
The Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) rolled out the proposal this week. Under the plan, operators would have to automatically review accounts that trip certain triggers, such as deposits over $10,000 in a single day or $100,000 in three months.
Each operator would also need to appoint a “responsible gaming lead,” tasked with keeping a list of at-risk players and making sure they get help. In the most serious cases, that could mean an account is shut down entirely.
