Bet365 is one of the world’s foremost sports betting brands, known for its slick online sportsbook, innovative app and wide sports coverage. That’s all evident in the Bet365 NJ Sportsbook, which launched in August 2019. If you’re wondering if it is just another online sportsbook added to the cluttered New Jersey landscape, we can safely answer that it’s far from it. Bet365 brings something different to the table, including more live streaming options than any other betting site. But we can find a few faults, too. Read on for our full review of Bet365 New Jersey.

Bet365 is a private company, wholly owned by Bet365 Group Ltd. The company launched in the UK in 2000, and it is widely regarded to have been at the forefront of the nascent online sports betting industry as it rose to prominence in the early 21st century. Today, it is estimated to have around 40 million customer accounts worldwide. The company has won several major industry awards, including winning SBC’s Bookmaker of the Year award several years running.

In New Jersey, Bet365 has partnered with the Hard Rock Casino for licensing purposes. The Bet365 New Jersey betting site and app are licensed by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. Details of the accreditation can be found at the bottom of the sportsbook homepage.

On setting up your account, Bet365 will use GeoComply software to ensure you are located in the state of New Jersey. The sportsbook uses the latest security measures to keep your details safe, including robust encryption methods to ensure financial transactions are secure. Options are provided to add an extra layer of security to your personal account with Strong Authentication if you so desire.

While Bet365 has just recently launched in New Jersey, and it is thus too early to tell how the state’s bettors will receive the product, the company owns a glowing reputation in the global betting industry. It is well known as a leader of innovation when it comes to online sports betting, and it has become a trusted brand among sports bettors.

8A varied choice of payment methods is available at Bet365, including the option to deposit and withdraw at Hard Rock Casino Atlantic City with Cash at Cage. While it varies by payment methods, several of the options have instant processing times before withdrawal.

You can access Bet365 through your mobile device, but we recommend downloading the Bet365 app for the full betting experience. You will be prompted to download it when visiting the site on your handheld device. If you use Android, the download can be completed through the Bet365 site. If you are accessing the site from an iOS device, a link is provided to download the official Bet365 app from the Apple Store.

The app is slick, easy to use and stylish. In fact, the sportsbook has been optimized for mobile betting. So, all of Bet365’s calling cards – live sports streaming, live betting data updates and animations – work well on any modern mobile handset or tablet. All of the betting features and markets available on desktop are available on the betting app.

If you sign up to the Bet365 New Jersey online sportsbook, you can avail yourself of a welcome betting offer of up to $100 in bet credits. Effectively, Bet365 will match the value of your first deposit and subsequent first bet on the site. After the first bet has been settled, you will receive between $10 and $100 in bet credits regardless of the outcome. The bet credits basically work like a free bet, allowing you to recoup any winnings as cash, but excluding the stake itself in any returns. You should also note that at least one leg of the free bet must contain odds of 1.2 (-500) or more.

Bet365 specializes in two other types of online betting promotions: Early payouts and a parlay bonus. For example, if you wager on an MLB team to win and the team takes a 5-run lead, Bet365 will pay out the winnings early regardless of the final result. A similar promotion is applied to soccer bets, where you will be paid out early if your selection goes ahead by two or more goals. Nearly every major sport is covered by Bet365’s parlay bonus. You will receive a 5% bonus for a winning two-leg parlay bet, 7.5% for a three-leg winning parlay, 10% for a four-leg winning parlay and so on right up to 50% for 12-legs and above.

The Bet365 sign up offer is perhaps not as lucrative as those of other sports betting sites in New Jersey, such as 888sport NJ or PointsBet, but it is a solid offer nonetheless, and one that has succinct and clear terms and conditions. As for the other promotions on the site, they tie in well with betting on popular sports. The parlay boost, in particular, will likely be popular among New Jersey bettors. The one criticism we would make here is that there is a lack of boosted odds promos with the Bet365 sportsbook.

Like the betting app, the Bet365 sports betting website is organized, slick and easy to use. Bet365’s signature green and dark gray color scheme makes for a stylish design, but, more importantly, it makes it easy for the user to see the different betting lines and markets. Bet365 uses its own in-house software to power the sportsbook, and bettors are not likely to have any complaints about the overall user experience. Indeed, you will find lots of neat extras on the site, like a results service, form guides and audio options. As a member of Bet365, you can also access a full online casino with your login details. Separate sign up bonuses can be accessed for use at the casino.

Currently, Bet365 covers 16 different sports, which is above average for the online sports betting industry in New Jersey. All the top US sports leagues are represented, but there is also room for more obscure sports like rugby union, cricket and darts. Within each sport, the depth of coverage is very impressive. For example, each MLB and NFL game has dozens of props markets, alongside the usual markets. Moreover, even the niche sports, like darts, have more extra betting markets than the typical New Jersey sportsbook. Bet365 does not seem to offer teasers bets, however.

As for the quality of the odds, we tested Bet365’s odds against three prominent New Jersey sportsbooks – BetAmerica, PointsBet and FanDuel. In comparing the outright odds for Super Bowl LIV, we found Bet365 to be competitive, hosting the best price (or joint-best price) for several top teams at the top of the market, including the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots.

Bet365 arrived in New Jersey with the reputation for delivering an excellent in-play betting experience, and it delivers that in abundance. All major sports are offered for live betting, and the depth of coverage is again impressive. For example, we found around 140 different live betting lines for an international soccer match and similar depth of coverage for NFL and MLB games. All live games are supported by a wealth of stats, all updated in real time.

However, what truly sets Bet365 apart from rival sportsbooks when it comes to in-play betting is the huge number of live sports streaming options. Tennis, soccer, football, basketball and many other sports are covered, and you can watch for free providing you have an account and are logged in. Not all major sports events are available, but the streaming options are far beyond anything else offered in New Jersey.
