Forget funky color combinations and needless gimmicks, this is a sportsbook serious about one thing: sports betting.

From first glance, there is not much to pull you in appearance-wise. Bet365 is very much “no-frills” in how it looks with its uninspiring mix of gray and green color. But in terms of usablity and functionality, the Bet365 NJ sportsbook comes up trumps every time. A stunning user interface makes the book simple, straightforward and easy-to-navigate, a prerequisite of any top sportsbook.

If you’re somebody who enjoys betting as the game unfolds, look no further than bet35. The live betting is enhanced with a live streaming experience that must be seen to be believed and well complemented with a broad range of betting markets.

A reliable and highly responsive mobile app to use from your sofa or on-the-go adds to the well-rounded package on the table for New Jerseyans.

Bet365 claims to be “the world’s favorite online sports betting company” and it is clear to see why. While the British bookmaker is not yet a name that registers with American bettors, Bet365 is an outstanding addition to the growing list of New Jersey sportsbooks.

Going by our experience and looking at what the competition has to offer, the bet365 NJ sign-up offer could be better. For many who view the bonus as make or break, bet credits are hardly enticing.

That said, Bet365 promos do help soften the blow. These run throughout the year, depending on the sport and season of course.

Top of our list are the enhanced early payouts in the NHL and NBA and the multi-sport parlay bonus while there are also promos available for soccer and tennis.

All new customers that create a bet365 account are eligible to receive up to $100 in Bet Credits.

This bet365 sign-up offer requires you to deposit a minimum of $10 into your new account.

Once done, Bet365 will match the amount deposited (up to $100) in credits site that can be used for further wagering.

Follow these five steps to claim the bet365 new account offer:

1. Enter registration details and verify account
2. Deposit $10 or more to your new account
3. Receive amount equal to deposit in bet credits
4. Use the bet credits on a sports bet
5. Apply ‘Use Bet Credits’ in the bet slip

You can check if your bonus has been added by selecting the Services Menu and choosing ‘My Offers’. Then click through to ‘Claim Now’ to see the offers available to you.

For us, the bonus landed with ten minutes but it can take up to an hour once the bet is settled so bear this in mind.

Bet365 is all about making life easy and this begins with their sign-up process which is both simple and quick.

At the core of any solid sports betting offering is a high performing app and safe to say, bet365 has delivered. The popularity of the bet365 app among bettors worldwide comes down to a stunning interface that allows for easy navigation and makes for a highly enjoyable betting experience.

The app is sleek and expertly designed with sports and markets presented logically, while the homepage provides an overview of quicks links to popular sports, trending wagers and in-play bets.

On top of that, log-in is straightforward while your bet and transaction history are both easily accessible. What’s not to like about this smooth-running machine?

Well, as mentioned, bet365 could do with calling in the decorators, i.e. the aesthetics could be improved. This said, you won’t find any other operator employing this unique look - maybe that’s the logic!

But the one (very minor) drawback aside, our experience of the bet365 app is everything we’ve come to expect of a company as accomplished as bet365.
