S 3063 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits civil liability against casinos and simulcast facilities for reckless indifference or intentional misconduct toward persons self-excluded from gaming activities.

This bill amends New Jersey law to allow civil lawsuits against casinos and simulcast facilities when they recklessly ignore or intentionally violate the self-exclusion program for gamblers who have voluntarily barred themselves from gambling. Currently, casinos cannot be held liable for failing to enforce self-exclusion; this bill removes that immunity for cases involving reckless indifference or intentional misconduct toward self-excluded individuals. The law specifically targets situations where casinos permit self-excluded persons to gamble or fail to withhold gaming privileges despite knowing their exclusion status. It directly affects self-excluded gamblers seeking legal recourse and imposes new accountability on casino operators for their enforcement practices.
