Bet365 is currently live in the shadow of Hard Rock Casino in New Jersey. But actually, it’s one of the biggest and most profitable online betting companies in the world. So you’re right to want to get to know them by reading this quick review. To sum up, Bet365 is an expert in the online gambling field.

Playtech, one of the world’s largest online gambling suppliers, has secured approval to launch its casino products in New Jersey.

The company said Monday it has obtained a transactional waiver from the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) and will provide its products to bet365.

“This is a major milestone for Playtech,” said CEO Mor Weizer. “We are delighted to have met the stringent regulatory requirements of the DGE and to be launching in New Jersey with our long-standing strategic partner bet365.”

The two companies have an existing partnership for casino and poker in other jurisdictions around the world.

Playtech said it expects to launch with more NJ online casino operators in the “near future,” and it has also started the licensing process in other US jurisdictions.

First step in Playtech US expansion

Weizer said the company aimed to follow up the casino launch with other products, including platform, sports, and live-dealer casino games.

“This is the first step for Playtech in the US and we are very excited about the long-term opportunity,” he added.

It’s been a long wait for Playtech’s first US license. The company was already talking up the US opportunity back in August 2018 and fielding questions about its lateness to the market in February 2019.

“I don’t think we are too late,” Weizer said at the time. “In New Jersey the vast majority of operators are a partner of Playtech in some way. That includes GVC, PokerStars, 888, Paddy Power Betfair.

“We will become an important partner to operators, providing them with software. Given the market is more advanced, we will be focused on software and the traditional B2B model rather than JVs and white labels.”

One eye on US sports betting

The company has also talked up its prowess in US sports betting thanks to existing operations in Mexico.

In an interview with industry news outlet EGR, Playtech’s director of corporate development Jonathan Doubilet said: “We have essentially adapted our trading operations to cater to Vegas lines and US trading methodologies.”

Playtech’s share price was up nearly 5% on the announcement, giving it a market cap of just under $1 billion.

The New Jersey announcement comes after a difficult week for Playtech. A UK Gambling Commission investigation found several responsible gambling failings from a subsidiary in a tragic case in April 2017. The firm agreed to pay $4.3 million to a gambling charities.

Bet365 Sports became New Jersey’s 16th online sportsbook when it launched in the Garden State in August 2019.

Bet365 was founded in 2000 as a chain of UK sports betting shops. The company sold the shops in 2005 to focus on online gambling and is now one of the world’s largest online gambling companies.

Bet365 currently runs various sports betting, poker, casino and bingo sites in Europe.

The company has entered the NJ sports betting market under the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City gaming license. Bet365 inked a deal with Hard Rock just prior to the property’s June 28, 2018, opening.

It has brought the slick and easy-to-use software that has become the hallmark of the Bet365 brand in Europe here to NJ.

The Bet365 Sports NJ website and apps are easy to navigate. Drop-down menus give users clear access to all available betting markets and the most popular are front and center. Plus, the bet slip building features make adding a wager as simple as clicking a price.

Additionally, the “TopEvent” and promo tabs give players quick access to Bet365’s most unique features, including early payout offers for MLB, NHL and NBA games.

Bet365 Sports also offers new players some top-notch bonuses. See below on how to take advantage of the current offers at Bet365 Sports.

Here are the various types of wagers available at Bet365 Sports:

• Moneyline betting: Moneyline bets are the easiest sports wagers available. Bet365 Sports posts odds based on a team’s chances of winning. You pick a winner and lock in the bet at odds posted at the time you make it. If your pick wins, you win.
• Futures betting: Futures are bets you place on a team winning a title or a certain number of games throughout an entire season. Bet365 Sports posts futures odds during the preseason based on a team’s chances and adjusts these odds throughout the year. An example is predicting early in the season which NFL team will win the Super Bowl.
• Point spread betting: Spreads, aka pointspreads, are bets made with a line set by Bet365 Sports that must be factored into the final score to determine a betting winner.
• Totals betting (over/under): Totals, aka over/under bets are wagers on whether the total final score of a game will be over or under a line set by Bet365 Sports.
• Parlay betting: Parlay wagering combines two or more bets into one. The payouts are more abundant because you must win all the bets for the parlay to pay. Add two or more wagers to a bet slip, and Bet365 Sports will give you the various parlay options on the bottom.

In-play betting

In-play, aka livebetting, is the act of wagering on an ongoing game. Bet365 Sports adjust the odds on these lines as the action changes.

Exceptional areas of Bet365 Sports

Bet365 Sports has the advantage of years of experience in the European sports betting market.

The product may be new to New Jersey, but it has clearly been built on the back of input from experienced sports bettors across the pond.

These are the three most prominent areas where Bet365 Sports excels:

• Bet slip building: If you can click on it, you can bet on it. Plus, Bet365 Sports shows you all the options right on your bet slip. You can easily see the outcome of what you’re thinking of betting on and change from parlays to straight bets with the click of a button.
• Sign up: It’s one small window of tabs to fill out before you’re a Bet365 Sports account holder. It doesn’t get any easier than that.
• Promos: Bet365 Sports may not have the most promos in the NJ sports betting market, but they might be the easiest to find. Boxes on the right-hand side of the page under the bet slip make betting on the latest promos easy. Plus, even more importantly, it gets you to all the information about these promos quickly, so you can easily understand just what you’re betting.

Three areas where Bet365 Sports could improve

• Sign-up bonus: Deposit match bonuses are great, but a little something for nothing goes a long way. Bet365 Sports could use a no-deposit bonus to draw in new customers.
• Two apps too many: If you’re sharing a wallet and an account, shouldn’t there be only one Bet365 app for sports betting and casino?
• No newsfeed: The live, in-play betting options are front and center. However, a live sports news feed would make Bet365 Sports a one-stop-shop for sports betting and information.

Depositing and withdrawing funds

Bet365 Sports makes getting your money on and off the site quite easy.

Bet365 depositoptions include:

Bet365 Online

• Cash (at Hard Rock AC)
• Credit or debit card
• Bank transfer
• PayNearMe
• PayPal
• Skrill

Your method of withdrawal depends on your method of deposit.

Bet365 Sports FAQ

How old does someone have to be to play Bet365?

Like all other NJ gambling and sports betting entities, Bet365 Sports players must be at least 21 years old.

Do you have to play in New Jersey?

Bet365 Sports has been available in Europe for years. But here in New Jersey, players must be inside state lines to place bets. You do not have to be a New Jersey resident, though. Anyone in New Jersey and 21 or older can bet.

Where did Bet365 Sports get its gambling license?

Online sportsbooks are required to have a physical partner in NJ. Bet365 Sports is partners with Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. The state’s Division of Gaming Enforcement has also approved the agreement between the two and authorized Bet365 to operate inside NJ.

Summary

Bet365 Sports is one of Europe’s top online sports betting operators for many reasons.

Whether that success will translate to NJ remains to be seen. However, the easy-to-use and intuitive software combined with the variety of betting options and attractive promos suggest its possible.

Outside of lack of US name recognition, there isn’t any reason why Bet365 Sports cannot ascend to the top of the NJ sports betting market in good time.
