New Jersey Mandates Data-Based Gambling Harm Checks

New Jersey has introduced legally enforceable responsible-gambling requirements for online betting and casino operators, requiring them to identify potentially harmful player behavior and intervene when necessary. The measures make the state the first in the US to mandate data-driven standards of this kind, according to officials. Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and the state's Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) announced the regulations on Tuesday, alongside the launch of free access to RecoverMe, a cognitive behavioral therapy app designed to help people manage gambling problems. The new rules establish uniform criteria for identifying customers who may be experiencing gambling-related harm.
