ATLANTIC CITY — The online gaming arm of casino giant Caesars Entertainment Corp. has been fined $15,000 for allowing people who had voluntarily banned themselves from gambling in New Jersey to place bets over the Internet.
Caesars Interactive Entertainment allowed five self-excluded gamblers to wager online and permitted others to create Internet betting accounts, according to documents made public Tuesday on the state Division of Gaming Enforcement website.
Caesars Interactive also violated New Jersey gaming regulations by sending promotional materials to 231 people who were on the list of self-excluded gamblers, the DGE said.
New Jersey’s “self-exclusion list” allows compulsive gamblers to voluntarily ban themselves from Internet gambling or from playing in the brick-and-mortar casino hotels. Casinos and online gambling operators are not allowed to solicit those people or send them promotional materials as long as they remain on the list.
Last year, Caesars Interactive was fined $10,000 after it emailed promotional materials to more than 250 self-excluded gamblers. In another incident last year, the company was fined $3,000 for failing to legibly include the required “1-800-GAMBLER” compulsive gambling hotline number on billboards that advertised online gambling.
