An Act concerning limitations imposed on wagering accounts by sports wagering licensees and supplementing P.L.2018, c.33.

 

     Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:

 

      1.   a.  Each sports wagering licensee, and their contracted operators, shall adopt rules governing the limitations which may be placed on wagering accounts.  Such limitations may include, but need not be limited to, limits on play times, maximum wager amounts, and deposit and withdrawal restrictions.  The rules shall be submitted to the division for approval and, once approved, shall be conspicuously displayed in the licensee’s sports wagering lounge, posted on the operator's Internet website, included in the terms and conditions of the wagering account, and copies shall be made readily available to all patrons.

     b.    Whenever a sports wagering licensee or their contracted operator places any limitation covered by subsection a. of this section on a wagering account, the sports wagering licensee or their contracted operator shall provide the 1[pstron] patron1 with written notice and an explanation for the imposition of such limitations.  Any account that has been so limited shall be reviewed at periodic intervals, in accordance with standards to be established by the division, to determine whether the account should remain limited or whether the limitations should be removed.

     c.     Sports wagering licensees and their contracted operators shall report annually to the division on the frequency and kind of limitations imposed on wagering accounts.  The division may request any additional information from a sports wagering licensee or contracted operator as may be necessary to assess compliance with this section.

     d.    The division may establish such rules and regulations, in accordance with the “Administrative Procedure Act,” P.L.1968, c.410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), as may be necessary to implement this section.

 

     2.    This act shall take effect immediately.
