NJ Issues $112K Penalty to Super Group Due to Self-Exclusion Shortcomings

New Jersey’s Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) has reportedly slammed Betway and Spin operator Super Group with a penalty over repeat violations of the state’s player protection directives. The group has also warned that future violations could prompt a more severe response.

Super Group Committed Several Serious Violations

According to the DGE, Super Group had failed to add self-excluded players to the Garden State’s official self-exclusion list on time. As a result, some players who had decided to exclude themselves from gambling were still able to access online gambling websites and play, which is a serious violation of New Jersey’s player protection protocols.

These violations occurred from March 2024 to January 2025, the DGE clarified.

Super Group had also committed additional violations by failing to properly process the self-exclusion list and, by extension, allowing self-excluded players to play. These included existing accounts that resumed playing, as well as self-excluded players who created new gaming accounts.

These violations occurred from July 2024 to August 2024, the DGE added.

Super Group made other breaches too by allowing some of its players to exceed their deposit limit from June 2025 to July 2025.

Further Violations Could Incur Regulatory Intervention

The DGE was not pleased with the offenses, saying that they imply lax internal controls that fail to abide by New Jersey’s gambling rules.

As a result, the DGC slammed Super Group with a civil monetary penalty of $112,188.96. The company was also required to return $5,278.73 that it took from self-excluded players.

The New Jersey regulator warned that further offenses could incur more severe penalties. The DGE noted that even smaller violations could result in future regulatory intervention.

NJ Councilman Faces 18 Charges

In other news, New Jersey councilman Anand Shah was just hit with 18 criminal charges due to his alleged relation to a multi million-dollar illegal gambling ring spanning across several towns in the state. This followed Shah’s arrest in April.

According to prosecutors, the defendant leveraged his position on the Prospect Park Borough Council to protect the purported illegal operation and interfere with oversight.
