New Jersey Supreme Court returns 1-800-GAMBLER control to CCGNJ
The New Jersey Supreme Court ruled in September that control of the 1-800-GAMBLER hotline should revert to the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey, according to the report. The National Council on Problem Gambling had leased the number since 2022 for $150,000 a year, while state organisations objected to its caller surveys; the NCPG said safety concerns are addressed first and collected data is de-identified.
The ruling changes who controls a national gambling-help number and its call-routing arrangements.
