I have not seen much on the subject of Gambling Laws and was wondering what some of you experts may know.

1. If you are in a casino and are asked for ID, is it illegal to present a false ID for name purposes only (assuming you are 21)?

2. Can you present someone elses comp card to avoid revealing your real name and hoping they don't ask for ID?

3. I have read in both Nevada and Mississippi the casino can bar you, but what can New Jersey Casino's legally do? e.g. not playing to the cut card, make you flat bet, etc. What about other States with BJ?

I am not trying to due anything illegal and I would like know where to draw the line and where the casinos are suppose to draw the line.

No. This case has been fought and won in the NV State Supreme Court.

2. Can you present someone elses comp card to avoid revealing your real name and hoping they don't ask for ID?
Yes. They are a casino, they do not have a god-given constitutional right to know your name. But at the same time, you don't have a god-given constitutional right to play their games or even enter their property.

3. I have read in both Nevada and Mississippi the casino can bar you, but what can New Jersey Casino's legally do? e.g. not playing to the cut card, make you flat bet, etc.
Yes, Yes, and Yes. In NJ they can't bar you, but they can do everything else under the sun to make the game unplayable, or even close the table you are playing at.

What about other States with BJ?
Varies from State to State. Some examples -- In MO, they cannot bar nor flat bet - pretty much just remove penetration. In IN, they cannot flat bet you, table limits must be clearly posted and apply equally to all players at the table. They can pre-mature shuffle on you. In most States, it is still pretty much all gray area. Until someone presses each individual tactic in each State, it is up in the air.
