    NJ sports betting updates

    New Jersey’s path to legalized sports betting was paved nearly a decade ago by then-Governor Chris Christie. It became the first state to legalize online sports betting in the United States after SCOTUS overturned PASPA. The ruling ended a nearly decade-long legal battle between the state and the five largest U.S. sports leagues and ushered in a new age of online sports betting.

    This timeline illustrates NJ sports betting origins and the current state of affairs.

    Jan. 17, 2023: The New Jersey legislature hopes to extend the state's online betting law until 2033 — this will be one of the main items up for consideration as the first 2023 legislative session opens.

    Sept. 16, 2022: The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement releases the state's August sports betting figures, revealing a 2.8% increase from July's total handle. New Jersey takes in north of $546 million in August.

    June 16, 2022: New Jersey's sports betting handle slides again in May, dropping 17.3% from $925.9 million to $766.4 million.

      Why DraftKings is the best sportsbook in New Jersey

      With nearly two dozen legal NJ online sports betting sites, competition in New Jersey is fierce. In 2023, DraftKings Sportsbook remains a cut above the rest thanks to its industry-best mobile app, exciting promos, and solid odds.

      DraftKings stands out from the crowd, landing at the top of our list of the best sports betting apps in NJ. Available for iPhone and Android users, the mobile app is fast, stable, and well-organized. Everything you would expect to find on the desktop version of the site is available and optimized for mobile devices, including swift banking, same-game parlays, live betting, and an early cash-out function. 

      When it comes to welcome bonuses, DraftKings is currently offering a bet $5, get $200 in bonus bets promo that bettors will appreciate. After signing up, you can make an initial deposit and wager of at least $5 on any sports market to get $200 in bonus bets. It's important to note, though, that the offer is only available until Feb. 12, 2023. 

      The DraftKings Promos tab is filled with unique perks for active bettors. Expect to find odds boosts, referral bonuses, and ongoing deposit bonuses.

      Latest New Jersey betting news

      Who can bet on sports in New Jersey?

      NJ sports betting is leading the way with points of access. There are sportsbooks and sports lounges inside of Atlantic City casinos and also at racetracks at the Meadowlands and Monmouth Park. If you cannot get to Atlantic City, anyone  — resident or not — 21 or older can place online sports bets using a computer, mobile phone, or tablet. Here's a brief overview of what you need to know before you start betting:

      21plus Legal age

      The legal age for New Jersey sports betting is 21, whether a player is inside of a casino or wagering on a NJ sports betting site.

      21plus Mobile betting

      Legal online NJ sports betting can take place on a computer, mobile phone, or tablet. The New Jersey Division Of Gaming Enforcement regulates all online and casino gambling.

      As an added layer of security, NJ sports betting sites also adopt two-factor authentication, meaning customers will have to confirm their accounts via SMS or an authenticator app.

      globe Within state borders

      All NJ online sports betting must take place within state lines. While you do not have to be a resident of the state to place a wager, you must be physically located within New Jersey. Additionally, players will not be allowed to wager wiht NJ sportsbooks if they use virtual private networks to mask their locations.

      bank Retail sportsbooks

      There are 11 retail sportsbooks and sports lounges in New Jersey. The majority of retail sportsbooks are located within the nine Atlantic City casinos. There are three sports lounges situated at horse racetracks throughout the state. The retail sportsbooks take wagers in-person and via kiosk.

      percent Taxable winnings

      Sports bet winnings are considered income by the federal government. However, winnings can be offset by losses. Players are required to pay the 24% tax rate if they win more than $600 in a year. Additionally, New Jersey assesses a 3% state tax on all income.

      The pros and cons of NJ sports betting

      The competition created by rival NJ sports betting sites has been a significant boon for New Jersey's recreational sports bettors. Players can use this to their advantage by choosing sportsbooks that offer the best promotions and odds.

      Most bettors will be satisfied with the options, but high rollers and sharp bettors might feel different. NJ sportsbooks have been known to limit or remove some sharper high rollers that might try to make a living betting on sports.

      How to start betting in New Jersey

      New Jersey's operators make it easy for anyone within the state to get started betting on sports. The process to bet on sports can be fulfilled via a phone, tablet, or computer and with a credit card. Those who would rather make physical transactions can walk into a casino or racetrack to get started. New Jersey offers the best of both worlds for its sports bettors.

      1

      Select a sportsbook

      Selecting a New Jersey sportsbook can be as easy as reading betting sites reviews, clicking on a promotional banner, and setting up an account online or in an app. Players may also place bets in person at a casino or racetrack.

      2

      Register online

      Registration can be completed on NJ sports betting sites within a few short minutes. Simply enter your basic personal information along with credit card details when prompted. We advise you to read the terms and conditions to avoid any surprises.

      3

      Claim a bonus

      New bettors in New Jersey benefit from the competitive landscape. Sportsbooks often leverage generous sign-up and welcome offers to attract customers. These are the more popular types of offers:

      • Deposit bonus: Many NJ sports betting sites will match your first deposit — sometimes up to a certain percentage or a dollar-for-dollar match — but attach specific playthrough requirements.
      • Risk-free bet: Following the initial registration and deposit, you may be able to place your first wager risk-free. Typically, if you place a bet and it loses, you'll get back the amount of your wager in the form of site credits or cash.
      • Free bets: Upon the initial sign-up, you'll receive credits that you can use similar to real money. These free bets are more often than not eligible for withdrawal, but you keep any winnings.

      Be sure to browse the best New Jersey sportsbook bonuses and promo codes before choosing your next betting site.

      4

      Choose your bet

      The most popular gameday bets are the point spread, Over/Under (totals), and moneylines. Player and team props, along with live betting, have become more popular than ever thanks to quick and slick sports betting apps and online NJ sportsbooks.

      5

      Deposit and withdraw funds

      This is an important function not to be overlooked when scouting online sportsbooks. Sometimes there are withdrawal delays that can significantly impact your preferred betting needs or strategies. There may or may not be an in-person option available either. Read the accompanying terms and conditions to identify the right option.

      6

      Start betting

      Bettors should always research which games to play before placing any wagers. This involves understanding the game and also finding the best lines available. Registering multiple accounts from different sportsbook apps, too.

      Odds explained

      American odds are the default option for NJ sportsbooks. Favorites have minus odds, and players will have to lay more to win less money. For example, a $10 wager on -150 odds will return $5 plus the original bet. Underdogs are not expected to win and have plus odds. These bets will have better returns. For example, a $10 wager on +150 odds will return $15 plus the original bet.

      The default for futures odds and props also uses moneyline odds instead of fractions or decimal points. Some NJ sportsbook apps will allow players to change how the odds are presented in order to make the information easier to understand. Decimal odds may be easier for players to comprehend quickly. Use our odds converter to easily adjust from American to decimal or fractions.

      What you can't bet on in NJ

      New Jersey permits several betting options from traditional sports to awards shows. However, NJ sports betting sites don't take action on all bet types. Here's a look at what NJ bettors cannot access legally:

      Covers miss icon

      NJ college sports

      Betting on New Jersey college teams like Seton Hall and out-of-state teams who play games within NJ is not allowed. Voters in the November 2021 general election rejected the opportunity to amend the state's constitution to allow bets on New Jersey college teams or teams from other states playing games in NJ. 

      Covers miss icon

      Politics

      New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement does not permit betting on politics. Furthermore, no U.S. state has legalized betting on politics.

      What about esports?

      Esports betting is now legal in New Jersey. The state legalized betting on esports events in 2020. However, not all NJ sports betting site will take esports wagers for events approved by the Division of Gaming Enforcement. The following have taken esports bets in the past and should be moving forward:

      • BetMGM
      • Borgata
      • Caesars
      • PointsBet

      NJ sports betting handle

      In 2021, New Jersey became the first state to clear the $10 billion mark in yearly sports betting handle, taking in a total of $10.93 billion with $815.7 million in sports betting revenue. Equally impressive, Dec. 2021 marked the state's fourth consecutive month with a handle of more than $1 billion in the online sports betting market.

      In January 2022, New Jersey posted $1.35 billion in sports betting handle, an all-time single-month record. The feat was even more impressive, with New York launching legal online sports betting sites that same month. Unprecedented NJ sports betting revenue is being experienced, and the year-over-year monthly handle continues to grow.

      Responsible gaming in New Jersey

      As gambling in New Jersey becomes more accessible, the state has developed resources to assist problem gamblers. Players can leverage preemptive measures to lessen the likelihood that they will run into trouble with gaming. The self-exclusion program, implemented by the Division of Gaming Enforcement, allows players to voluntarily exclude themselves from online and land-based casinos.

      Keeping a strict gaming budget with limits on how much money is deposited and setting loss limits can also slow progress if you are having problems with gambling.

      Offshore sportsbooks have served as a refuge for online sports bettors and sportsbook operators for years. These offshore sites are not legal in New Jersey, and we advise you to place real money wagers with legal NJ betting sites only.

      If any offshore sportsbook wants to do business in the lucrative state, they'll first have to stop operating illegally.
