What the Division of Gaming Enforcement does
The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) is the state agency that approves and polices online casinos in New Jersey. It sits within the Attorney General's office, issues internet gaming permits to Atlantic City casino companies, approves each casino website, and also licenses sports wagering. If a New Jersey online casino breaks its own terms, the DGE is who you can turn to after the casino.
The 9 internet gaming permit holders
Online casinos in New Jersey are tied to Atlantic City casinos. The DGE's list of internet gaming permit holders, last updated September 22, 2026, shows these permits:
| Permit | Holder |

| NJIGP 26-001 | Marina District Development Company, LLC (Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa) |
| NJIGP 26-002 | Golden Nugget Atlantic City, LLC |

| NJIGP 26-013 | Caesars Interactive Entertainment New Jersey, LLC, affiliate of Harrah's Atlantic City Operating Company, LLC |
A permit holder can run several brands, which is why there are far more casino websites than permits. The DGE publishes a separate list of approved websites, and approvals are added on a rolling basis.
How to check a New Jersey online casino
The DGE states that any site not on its approved list is not approved to offer internet gaming in New Jersey. Before you sign up, check that the exact website address appears on the DGE's list, or that the brand is run by one of the permit holders above. Licensed sites also check that you are physically in New Jersey before you can play.
How disputes work
The DGE requires every operator to have a system for receiving and investigating player complaints. The order is fixed:
- Complain to the casino and keep its written reply.
- If the complaint stays unresolved, file the DGE's Internet Dispute Form and attach your original complaint and the casino's response.
The DGE takes questions about internet gaming complaints at (609) 984-0909 or [email protected].
Self-exclusion in New Jersey
The DGE runs an internet self-exclusion program that covers every licensed online casino in the state. Licensed casinos point to it from their own terms; Caesars Palace Online, for example, sends players who want to close an account for responsible gaming reasons to the DGE's self-exclusion page. More options are on our responsible gambling page.
Our player protection rating: high
We rate New Jersey's protection as high because the DGE publishes who holds each permit, approves every website, gives players a formal dispute route and runs a statewide self-exclusion program. Operators we review in New Jersey, such as Caesars Palace Online Casino, are checked against this list.
