New Jersey court orders 1-800-GAMBLER control returned to CCGNJ
A New Jersey court ruled on 22 September that control of the 1-800-GAMBLER helpline must return to the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey, according to the reported account. The National Council on Problem Gambling had managed the line under a three-year agreement that expired on 31 May; it said it would appeal and seek a stay of the planned 29 September handover.
The ruling affects responsibility for operating a national gambling-support helpline and the timing of its transfer.
