Short answer

The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement is the state agency that oversees casino gaming, including online casinos, and works within the Office of the Attorney General. New Jersey was one of the first states to legalise online casino games, with a law signed on 26 February 2013.

About the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement

Online play is tied to licensed Atlantic City casinos, and players must be at least 21 and located in the state. The Division publishes a list of authorised internet gaming sites and states that any site not on it is not approved. Operators must have proper systems to record and investigate customer complaints. A player should first complain to the casino and get its response. If the problem remains, the player can file an internet gaming dispute form with the Division, together with copies of the original complaint and the reply. The Division's self-exclusion program, run with a state problem-gambling council, lets people exclude themselves from online gaming, and optionally from land-based casinos, for one year, five years or life.
