What to watch out for

Run with the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey. While excluded you cannot gamble, collect winnings, use comps, hold a players club membership, get casino credit, or cash checks. Online enrollment covers internet activities only and offers 1- or 5-year terms; lifetime exclusion requires the in-person or video-conference process. After the minimum term you must request removal to come off the list. DGE self-exclusion line: 1-833-788-4343; NJ helpline: 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537).

Self-exclusion alone isn't enough

New Jersey's program only binds operators licensed in the state — offshore sites and crypto casinos ignore it. The setup that holds is layered: self-exclusion plus a gambling blocker on your devices plus a gambling block on your bank card.
