New Jersey fines gambling operator $112K for failing self-exclusion rules

New Jersey regulators have penalised a major online gambling operator for failing to uphold responsible gaming rules. The state's Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) fined Digital Gaming Corporation (DGC), a subsidiary of Super Group, over US$112,000 for multiple breaches. The company allowed self-excluded players to keep gambling and ignored deposit limits set by customers.

Between March 2024 and January 2025, DGC delayed adding self-excluded individuals to New Jersey's official exclusion list. This oversight meant some players continued accessing their accounts when they should have been blocked. The issue persisted even after the regulator flagged concerns.

In a separate incident, the company permitted certain self-excluded players to create new accounts or regain access between 18 July and 7 August 2024. Further violations occurred in mid-2025, when DGC failed to enforce deposit limits set by players in June and July. The DGE responded by imposing a civil penalty of US$112,188.96. It also ordered DGC to return US$5,278 in winnings collected by self-excluded players. Regulators warned that any future breaches could lead to harsher disciplinary action.

The fine and disgorgement order follow repeated failures in DGC's responsible gaming controls. The company must now ensure stricter compliance with New Jersey's self-exclusion and deposit-limit rules. Regulators will monitor the operator closely for any further violations.
