If gambling is causing a problem in your life we encourage you to ask questions, gather information and conduct research on the type of help that is most appropriate for your situation. This information is intended to be a starting point—it is not a complete list of information or services.

The Casino Association of New Jersey and AtlantiCare today announced their collaboration to develop a comprehensive plan to safely reopen Atlantic City casino properties when New Jersey’s stay-at-home order is lifted. The Casino Association of New Jersey (CANJ) is a trade organization that provides a collective voice for the Atlantic City casino industry by facilitating the exchange of information and ideas between our industry, small businesses, Atlantic City stakeholders and the general public.
