Restricts advertising for casino games and sports pools under certain circumstances.
This bill (S 2156) requires casino operators in New Jersey to include specific warning messages in all advertising for casino games and sports wagering. It mandates that all billboards, signs, print ads, and other promotional materials display two key messages: "Bet with your head, not over it" and a gambling help hotline ("If you or someone you know has a gambling problem... call 1-800 GAMBLER"). The bill also prohibits targeted advertising toward self-excluded gamblers (per state law) or individuals under the legal gambling age. These provisions directly affect casino licensees and their marketing practices, aiming to prevent deceptive advertising and promote responsible gambling awareness.
