Gambling self-exclusion in New Jersey

Self-exclusion in New Jersey: you need two separate enrollments. New Jersey: Atlantic City casinos, racetrack sportsbooks and online gambling, run by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. First step: Sign up on the Division's portal (one or five years). A fixed term continues until you request removal; a lifetime term has no published way to lift it. New Jersey: racetracks, off-track wagering and horse betting accounts, run by the New Jersey Racing Commission. First step: Complete the application and hand it in in person. It continues until you request removal. None substitutes for another, and this is not everything in New Jersey.

Before you count on it. Mail is unconfirmed: the regulation names a Trenton PO box, but the Commission's own 2026 instructions require in-person submission, and that conflict is unresolved. Do not rely on mail without asking the Commission first. Resident and visitor eligibility is not established. Completing or handing in the application does not confirm enrollment; wait for the Commission's letter.

How we checked

These are the kinds of gambling we checked. The list may not include every way to gamble in the state.

New Jersey has two state-run lists. The Division of Gaming Enforcement covers Atlantic City casinos, racetrack sportsbooks and online casino and sports betting on one form with two levels of coverage. The Racing Commission covers entry to racetracks and off-track sites, account wagering and fixed-odds wagering. You can apply for either list at either agency's office, and each filing joins only one list. The Division doesn't accept mailed forms. The Racing Commission's rule allows mail, but its current instructions say to apply in person, so ask the Commission before you mail anything. New Jersey isn't on the federal list of states with Indian gaming, so tribal casinos don't apply. We found no lottery self-exclusion on official Lottery pages. For fantasy sports, the law only requires each fantasy company to let you restrict yourself. Claims that the Division's list covers fantasy come from a bill that never passed. We checked the official sources linked on this page, not every gambling option in the state. Unless a program says otherwise, the sources we read don't say whether you have to live in the state to sign up.

How New Jersey's programs fit together

New Jersey runs two separate lists, the Division of Gaming Enforcement's for casinos, sportsbooks and online gambling and the Racing Commission's for horse racing, and signing up for one doesn't put you on the other.

What we know about each one

Neither list reaches what the other covers. The Division's list doesn't cover horse-race betting at racetracks or through an account, and the Racing Commission's list doesn't cover casinos or online casino games. Each program listed here is a separate sign-up. Signing up for both still doesn't cover every way to gamble in the state.
