How to verify a licensed online casino in New Jersey
Open the Division of Gaming Enforcement’s authorized Internet gaming sites page. Match the exact site. Anything missing is not approved for New Jersey.

Sequence
Use the NJ DGE authorized-sites list
Step 01
Go to the DGE Internet Gaming Sites page
Use the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General / Division of Gaming Enforcement page — not a review site.
Step 02
Read the approval rule at the top
DGE states that any site not on the list is not approved to offer Internet gaming in New Jersey.
Step 03
Locate the permit-holder block
Sites sit under named Internet gaming permit holders. Confirm the product appears in that block.
Step 04
Match the exact authorized path
Compare the address you will use to the listed path. Close spellings and lookalike domains do not count.
Step 05
Optional: cross-check permit holders PDF
DGE also publishes an Internet gaming permit holders PDF. Use it to confirm the permit side of the same story.
Step 06
Bookmark DGE before you fund
If a dispute arises later, you want the regulator page you already verified — not a marketing footer.
Player checklist before you trust a “NJ licensed” claim
| Item | Do this | Red flag |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Open njoag.gov DGE list | Screenshot from an ad |
| Site match | Same path as listed | Different TLD / subdomain |
| Permit | Under a named NJ holder | Only a hotel brand claim |
| Land licence | Treat as separate | “We own a casino” alone |
| Foreign seal | Ignore for NJ access | Malta / Curaçao as proof |
| Date | Re-check before deposit | Months-old blog copy |
Approvals issue on a rolling basis — re-open the live DGE page; do not rely on memory or a cached table.
Your turn
NJ list vocabulary
Authorized site
A specific Internet gaming product DGE lists under a permit holder. The list entry beats the homepage claim.
Permit holder
The casino affiliate (or named entity) that holds the New Jersey Internet gaming permit for those sites.
NJIGP
Shorthand for New Jersey Internet gaming permit — confirm on DGE materials, not on marketing badges.
Not approved
DGE’s rule: if the site is absent from the authorized list, it is not approved for Internet gaming in NJ.
Watch outs
Common NJ verify mistakes
01I saw the hotel brand, so the site is fine.
Land and Internet permits are separate. Only the authorized-sites list proves remote approval.
02A similar domain is close enough.
DGE lists exact paths. Lookalikes and typosquat domains are a fail, not a near-pass.
03An old article listed it last year.
Approvals change. Open today’s DGE page before you fund an account.

Same intent, inventory first — tap through for the places we already publish for Las Vegas.
After the 90 seconds
Questions before and after you play
A 90-second guide cannot cover every table moment. Tap a group, then a question — answers are short paragraphs, not one-liners.
01Using the DGE list
Where do I verify a New Jersey online casino licence?
On the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement Internet Gaming Sites page (njoag.gov). Match the exact site under a named permit holder. DGE states that any site not on that list is not approved for Internet gaming in New Jersey.
Is a Boardwalk casino licence enough for online play?
No. A land casino licence does not automatically authorize remote casino games. New Jersey publishes a separate Internet gaming sites roster and permit-holder materials — use those, not the hotel floor alone.
02What counts as a match
What if the brand name matches but the URL does not?
Treat it as unverified until the exact path appears on the DGE authorized-sites list. Marketing names and sister skins can differ; the roster path is the check that matters for New Jersey.
Do foreign licences help for New Jersey players?
Not as a substitute for the DGE list. For a New Jersey resident, the lawful Internet gaming lane is the one New Jersey authorizes and publishes — not an overseas seal on a homepage.
03After you verify
Should I re-check the list later?
Yes. DGE issues site approvals on a rolling basis. Before a new deposit or a new product, reopen the live authorized-sites page rather than trusting an old screenshot or a third-party table.
Where do I go if something looks wrong?
Use Division of Gaming Enforcement internet-gaming information and contact channels on njoag.gov / nj.gov — the same official stack you used to verify the site — not only the operator’s chat widget.
