There’s much to admire about the first sportsbook to go live in NJ. Arguably it's DraftKings' ability to make things simple that separates them from the rest. Just take the app; it offers players with Apple and Android devices an easy download and sign-up process and one of the best software platforms in the business thanks to the operator’s partnership with Kambi.

The early pacesetters have already demonstrated that time is of the essence with their rapid launch and it's a concept they've applied to the betting process too where wagers are processed quickly and effectively. On this evidence and the large sign-up bonus on offer, DraftKings is poised to dominate the New Jersey sports betting landscape for some time to come.

FanDuel may not have been first to market. But that hasn't stopped the DFS giants from becoming the number one sportsbook in New Jersey.

One of the more recent names to have stepped into the NJ market, PointsBet is not your conventional US sportsbook. This makes it no less worthy, however. The Australian operator is firmly attracting a crowd of their own among a busy but, often predictable, market by offering its own and very unique take on sports betting.

A unique take on sports betting is driving interest in PointsBet

In addition to the traditional types of wager, customers can partake in 'PointsBetting', a high-risk, high reward type that rewards players for how right a bet is. Bets can be placed via mobile devices - the app is downloadable for both iOS and Android devices - as well as on the website.

The choice of payment options is one area where PointsBet could potentially improve but with the main methods (VISA/Mastercard) available, most players are catered for. The number of seasonal promos, daily odds boosts, Rewards programs, and not forgetting its unique take on sports betting ensures PointsBet remains an NJ sports betting site much in demand.

• Land-based partner: Golden Nugget AC
• Tech partner: SB Tech
• Mobile app launch date: February 19, 2019

Not satisfied with being one of the best online casinos in New Jersey, Golden Nugget is looking to establish itself as one of the main players of NJ sports betting too. But what makes the sports betting app a good choice?

Well, Golden Nugget is renowned for an unrivaled level of customer support which totally separates them from the rest. In addition to the regular support options, the Online Help Center covers all angles for bettors to find the answers to just about every issue that could crop up. Within it, there’s also a comprehensive guide on how to play certain lines and the specific rules for betting on each sport - the level of support goes way above we’ve seen elsewhere.

Shared wallet between sports betting and casino games

On top of this, users can benefit from a shared wallet between sports betting and casino games bringing added convenience. Giving Nugget the tag of the most complete sportsbook is hard with an incomplete set of wagering options (no betting on the Houston Rockets permitted). But they’re certainly up there as one of the better NJ betting apps.

A global powerhouse of online sports gambling, bet365, has had to wait to conquer this part of the world. But having now landed on US soil, you can bet your bottom dollar the British bookie will become a firm favorite for NJ bettors.

Much of Bet365’s success stems from relying on its own in-house betting software. And then there’s its stellar user interface and all-round functionality which is second to none. But it’s arguably the speed of the operation that separates them from the rest.

The Stoke based bookmaker has perfected the betting experience down to a tee, particularly the placing of a bet, which is effortless, almost instinctive. The same can be said of the in-play wagering experience which, supported by in-house betting algorithms, is arguably the foundation of the offering; let’s not forget, Bet365 was ahead of the game in terms of making in-play wagering available for its customers.

A belated New Jersey launch and a yet established customer base may see Bet365 behind the eight ball in the early days of NJ sports betting. But they’re not known as the best sports betting site in the world for nothing and will be among the leading NJ sports betting options before you know it.

Another European betting giant has made it across the pond. Unibet is one of the newest New Jersey betting sites to launch in the US sport betting market that never stops growing, New Jersey.

Everything you can ask of an NJ sportsbook app

NJ bettors will soon realize the Unibet NJ app has everything you can ask for. Maybe more to tell the truth. With all the betting lines for all sports, including major and minor league teams, there’s a full slate of wagers to get busy with. A $20 no deposit welcome bonus awaits all new NJ players plus a $250 risk-free deposit bonus, two offers of very good value compared with the rest of the market.

What’s more, among a variety of other promotions, the multi-year sponsorship agreement with NHL side New Jersey Devils not only guarantees fan and hospitality events for Unibet customers but also puts fans of the Devils in with a genuine chance of winning tickets to watch their team in action. As late to the NJ party they may be, this is a company known for their shrewdness. Expect Unibet to be topping the popularity stakes in the Garden State before you know it.
