A 2559 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires sports wagering advertisements and applications to include warning of risks of gambling.

This bill requires sports betting operators in New Jersey to include a specific risk warning in all advertisements and digital platforms. The warning must state: "Gambling is risky and can become addictive, resulting in catastrophic life consequences. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800 GAMBLER." It applies to all print, billboard, online, broadcast ads, and when users open sports betting websites or mobile apps. The requirement directly affects licensed sports wagering businesses operating in New Jersey. This amends existing law by expanding the mandated warning language beyond the current "1-800 GAMBLER" hotline notice.
