NEW JERSEY
ONLINE GAMBLING

We want to make it clear that we only review legal online casino websites, not dangerous and illegal offshore operators. Only sites listed on the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement’s Internet Gaming Authorized Sites page are promoted on this website. Here are the criteria that our experts take into account when rating gambling sites.

Bonus Offers

All of our preferred New Jersey online casino partners offer generous deposit bonuses which are, let’s face it, one of the best and most lucrative parts of playing online.

Not all bonus offers are created equal, however, and each come with certain limitations along with their own terms and conditions. We dig deep into the fine print and explain all you need to know about how to unlock your bonus cash before you make your deposit. You’ll also be able to compare several different casino bonus offers and pick the one that fits your style and bankroll best.

Promotions

After you receive your welcome bonus, you’ll still have plenty of opportunities to score even more bonus cash through regular promotions. NJ’s gaming sites offer a wide variety of different promos which can include deposit reload bonuses, VIP point multipliers, slot machine free spins and free plays.

Some sites, like Caesars Casino, offer a revolving schedule of promos, giving players something to look forward to every day of the week, while others favor less frequent, but more lucrative offers. We’ll tell you all you need to know about what kind of promotional activity you can expect from any given site.

Loyalty and VIP programs

Most of our casino partners offer rewards programs and VIP clubs for their loyal players, something that you’ll definitely want to take advantage of. These are mostly broken down into different tiers, which players can climb to earn increasingly valuable rewards.

FanDuel Casino’s program employs this type of system, starting its players at its VIP Iron level and elevating them until they reach VIP Platinum. Benefits from these programs can include event tickets, luxury gifts, special bonuses and more.

We explain the workings of each different loyalty club and break them down so that you get the most value for your play.

Banking Options

While most sites offer largely the same deposit and withdrawal options, not all accept the same methods. In our reviews, you’ll be able to immediately see all of the banking options available to you at any particular site, including a list of NJ online casinos that accept PayPal. To learn more about all of the different payment methods available to NJ players, head over to our banking guide.

Software

The law that legalized online gambling in New Jersey allows gambling software providers to partner with Atlantic City’s brick-and-mortar casinos to offer iGaming to the public. Currently, there are seven different software platforms being used in New Jersey, and each has its pros and cons. We’ll give you some background on the partnerships between casinos and their providers while reviewing the good and the bad of each platform.

We’ll also tell you what options you have for accessing and playing games on each site (e.g. mobile app, web browser, software download). Some sites, like Borgata Casino Online, give players the choice of downloading a software client, in addition to being able to play through a web browser or mobile app, while others do not.

Game Selection

One advantage of gambling online is that you have literally hundreds of games right at your fingertips. Game libraries at the different gaming sites can vary greatly and are incredibly diverse. Some may include a variety of jackpot slots, while others might focus on standard slot games; some might carry several different types of table games, while another might stick with only a handful of the most popular.

Virgin Casino, for example, is operated by gaming software developer GameSys, which has created several popular NJ online slots in its development studio. That means that when you play at Virgin, you’ll have the option of trying out games which are exclusive to the site and can’t be accessed anywhere else.

In our reviews, you’ll get an overview of each site’s overall game selection, without having to go in and poke around the software yourself.

Customer support

Our experiences with support at our recommended NJ gaming sites has so far been very good. We favor casinos which provide customers with a variety of options to get in touch, like phone, email, live support and help desk articles
