Fanatics Sportsbook officially announced the opening of its latest retail sportsbook location at Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Thursday. 

The partnership between Fanatics and Ocean Casino Resort has culminated in Fanatics Sportsbook debuting along the iconic Atlantic City Boardwalk just in time for the 2024-25 NFL season. Fanatics Sportsbook has now opened 21 retail sportsbook locations, following an opening in Louisiana in August and its arrival in Connecticut at Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport back in March.

“It’s an exciting day in our company’s continuous evolution as we announce the opening of Fanatics Sportsbook at Ocean Casino Resort,” said Fanatics Betting and Gaming’s chief business officer Ari Borod. “As Fanatics grows its gaming presence in New Jersey, Ocean represents the perfect partner to deliver an elevated retail sports betting experience at the premier hotel in Atlantic City.”

Fanatics Sportsbook is located inside The Gallery at Ocean Casino Resort, which contains a 12,000-square-foot gaming and bar center, including a 100-foot elevated bar and lounge area that seats up to 60 patrons. Amenities include slot machines, tables, and 140 feet of LED walls to create an enhanced sports viewing environment. 

“Fanatics boasts an unmatched roster of the world’s most renown sports leagues, teams, and global brands,” said Bill Callahan, general manager for Ocean Casino Resort. “We are excited to present these to our guests here at Ocean.”

Sports fans and bettors have access to place wagers at betting windows or self-service betting kiosks throughout The Gallery while accessing the Balcony Bar containing a mezzanine bar and lounge area. Fanatics Sportsbook has legal betting markets for all of the major professional sports, most notably, college football and NFL, with development and trading of sports betting markets done in-house.
