New Jersey lawmakers advance resolution on targeted gambling advertisements
New Jersey’s Assembly Tourism, Gaming and the Arts Committee unanimously approved AR 150, urging restrictions on gambling advertisements aimed at people showing signs of problem gambling or addiction. The committee also approved a measure requiring educational and counselling videos before removal from self-exclusion lists; the New Jersey Racing Commission and Division of Gaming Enforcement would set programme rules. The Sports Betting Alliance opposed the bill but did not testify.
The measures could change advertising practices and self-exclusion procedures for gambling operators in New Jersey.
