NJ Introduces Self Exclusion For Problem Gamblers

[vixen777]

For most people, a visit to a casino is fun. They try their luck, wager responsibly, have a good time and understand that gambling is a form of entertainment. They enjoy the excitement of the casino, the fine restaurants, the shows and the other amentities found in casino hotels.

For a small number of people, however, gambling isn't fun. Problem gambling includes what is often called compulsive gambling and pathological gambling. It refers to a condition where people are, to some degree, addicted to gambling. While the results of a gambling addiction can be devastating, there is help available for those people who need it.

New Jersey provides funding for education and treatment programs for people with a gambling problem.

For information about these programs, you can contact the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey. That council and the National Center for Responsible Gaming both operate hotlines that people with a gambling problem can call for help.
