Getting help in New Jersey

If you’re ready for a life after betting, here’s a simple path in NJ — then the official details below.

1. Step 1 — Block access

   • BetBlocker (free) or Gamban
   • Ask someone you trust to hold the admin PIN
   • Mute or remove sportsbook apps and notifications

2. Step 2 — Self-exclude

   • Use New Jersey’s official program: Voluntary Self-Exclusion Program (NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE))
   • Open the official enrollment page
   • Terms: Minimum periods commonly 1 year or 5 years depending on the option you choose; removal only after the selected period expires via DGE process.
