New Jersey S536 makes fines and compulsive gambling prevention programs optional penalties for underage casino gambling.
New Jersey S536 amends the penalty for underage casino gambling, making both fines and participation in compulsive gambling prevention, education, and treatment programs optional. Previously, a person under 21 caught gambling in a casino faced a mandatory fine of $500 to $1,000. Now, the court has the discretion to impose the fine and require participation in a program meeting criteria set by the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey. This change applies to individuals under the legal age for alcohol purchase and consumption.
