IGCCB supports the Gambling Treatment Diversion Court and invites its certified professionals to also show their support.

Judge Cheryl Moss established and presided over the Gambling Treatment Diversion Court (GTDC) in Clark County, Nevada for over two years. This has been the only active GTDC in the country and even the world. Judge Moss would like to bring GTDCs to New Jersey and possibly other states.

The New Jersey GTDC Advisory Group was recently created by Judge Moss as Assemblyman Daniel Benson in Hamilton drafted legislation to establish GTDCs in NJ. The Advisory Group is comprised of individuals from all over the world, many of whom are experts in our field.

The Hazard Docket deskGambling law, money and play

This page is written and kept up to date by the desk. Before anything goes up we check three things: that every figure carries the filing, statute or report that fixes it; that every date carries the document it comes from; and that every procedure is described the way the body that runs it describes it. We do not rate operators, we are not paid to list anyone, and where we have no source the field stays empty and we say so.
