I've
seen banner ads for Internet casinos and sports
books on-line. Are they legal? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Internet
gambling, of any kind, is not legal in New Jersey.
Unlike our Atlantic City casinos, Internet casinos
are not regulated. That means that we have not
tested the games to make sure that they operate
fairly and with integrity. Further, even if a
person wins an Internet wager from a casino-style
game, horse race or sporting event, we cannot
be sure that he or she will ever be paid. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
If
an Internet casino operates from outside New Jersey
or outside the United States, does that mean
I am free to play there? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
No
matter where the site operators are located, Internet
gambling is illegal in New Jersey. It is not legal
to offer on-line gambling to New Jersey residents
or to accept bets placed in New Jersey, and it
is not legal to operate Internet gambling in New
Jersey. |

 |
| |
I've
gambled on-line, but I didn't receive winnings
I am owed. Who can help me? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
We're
doing our best to keep New Jersey's citizens from
being cheated, and the best way to do that is
to encourage you to avoid Internet gambling altogether.
If you choose to engage in Internet gambling,
despite these warnings and you are defrauded,
you may find difficulty in trying to
recoup your losses. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
I
think someone I know is gambling on-line and may
have a problem. What should I do? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
You
may wish to seek the counsel of the New Jersey
Council on Compulsive Gambling by calling 1-800-Gambler
or visiting the Council
on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey Web site
for information. |

My
child uses the Internet, but she/he is not old
enough to gamble. Do I need to be concerned about
Internet gambling? |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
Some
sites claim to keep minors out, but many of our
youth are extremely computer savvy, and it is
not difficult to get past some of the safeguards.
It is best to educate your children about the
dangers and illegality of Internet gaming. |

| |
We
have casinos, race tracks and lotteries in New
Jersey. I thought gambling was legal here. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| |
According
to the State Constitution, gambling is illegal
in New Jersey. Since the Constitution was written
in 1947, we have passed laws that permit specific,
limited, regulated gambling in New Jersey. Only
licensed Atlantic City casinos, licensed race
tracks, legalized games of chance and the New
Jersey Lottery may operate and/or offer gambling
in New Jersey. |
