PlayUp Sportsbook NJ Promo Code 2024

PlayUp Sportsbook, known for its simple and easy sports betting and DFS games in countries such as India, New Zealand, and of course, its home country of Australia, has been in the state of New Jersey for a short amount of time. Already a proud, authorized, online sports wagering partner with the National Basketball Association (NBA) as well as the New Jersey Devils NHL hockey team at the Prudential Center, PlayUp is well positioned to enter the Garden State.

Although PlayUp Sportsbook is currently only available in Colorado, debuting in March 2021, the brand has big plans for the U.S. market including New Jersey. While we don’t know exactly what the New Jersey sportsbook will look like, we can draw a lot of educated guesses based on the brand’s Colorado product. Following is a complete preview of the PlayUp Sportsbook online portal and the services it will offer once going live again in the Garden State.

PlayUp Sportsbook in New Jersey

PlayUp is eager to extend its U.S. statewide offering beyond the Centennial State. Thanks to the 2018 SCOTUS decision to overturn the antiquated PASPA law that restricted the industry, licensed sports betting (both retail and online) is now a possibility in states across the country. New Jersey was a bit of a pioneer in the post-PASPA world, serving as the first state to pass new sports betting legislation. While it’s currently one of the busiest markets in the industry, there’s always room for competitive products – like PlayUp.

Through its partnership with Caesars Entertainment PlayUp was in New Jersey, amongst other states. But in July of 2023 New Jersey paused PlayUp in the state because of the company’s inability to comply with New Jersey’s betting laws. Once PlayUp is back in New Jersey, we will update our review.

PlayUp New Jersey welcome bonus

There’s a lot of sports betting competition in the state of New Jersey. The state was quick to act after PASPA, and hasn’t missed a step yet. Therefore new entities need to offer competitive NJ sports betting bonuses to make an impression. We’re still waiting to see what sort of offer PlayUp debuts with, but based on the operators track record in other legal states, it may look something like the following:

$20 free wager (no deposit needed)

Want to learn how to make a legal online sports bet with absolutely zero risk, and no need to deposit? PlayUp is known to offer a $20 free bet, no deposit required.

Once your account has been verified, you will find the option to place a $20 free wager on the corresponding drop-down menu. Simply click on or touch this option, and the $20 free wager will immediately become available to you. Again, we can’t stress this enough – without making an initial deposit. This is a perfect way for new PlayUp customers to enjoy a “free” or “practice” wager on the sports event of their choice.

The free bet MUST have odds of at least -500 in order to be accepted. If the free bet is lost, no funds are taken out of the customer’s account (and there still won’t be a deposit requirement). If the free bet is successful, the profit will become available in the customer’s verified account to wager on another event, while the initial $20 will no longer be accessible. For example, if you place a $20 bet on a favorite with -300 odds, and you win, you would only receive $6.67 back since the original $20 stake isn’t included. Under normal circumstances the same wager would pay $26.67 ($20 original bet + $6.67 profit). Keep this in mind when picking your bet.

The free, no-risk wager must be accessed within 30 days of sign-up in order to be valid. After 30 days, the opportunity is lost and will not reappear in the drop-down menu.

200% first deposit match bonus up to $200

PlayUp NJ offers a solid, if not slightly unspectacular 100% match bonus for your initial deposit, up to $200 with use of the Skrill deposit method — meaning new customers can take full advantage of this welcome offer with only a $200 first deposit into their verified account.

In order to clear this bonus you just need to wager the bonus cash once time, and then it is eligible for withdrawal. The minimum eligible deposit is just $10. Unfortunately the bonus is only restricted to new Skrill customers. It’s unusual to see a deposit method that’s specifically tied to a particular deposit method. We’re hopeful that when PlayUp sportsbook officially rolls out the red carpet in New Jersey, that they do so with a better all around promotion.

PlayUp NJ sign up

Signing up for a PlayUp New Jersey account is super easy, but it DOES require one to meet certain criteria.

First and foremost, all PlayUp NJ customers MUST be at least the age of twenty-one (21) years old and physically located within the Garden State’s borders in order to enjoy account access and be able to place a real money wager. To clarify, you can sign up from anywhere, but you must be old enough, and in New Jersey to place real money bets.

When signing up to a new PlayUp account, customers will need to provide their full name, address, telephone number, date of birth, along with the final four digits of the U.S. Social Security Number (SSN) in order to get their account verified, place real money wagers, and enjoy PlayUp NJ’s exclusive promotions.This has become a routine process for legal, licensed sports betting products in the United States, and it only take a few short minutes to provide this data to get one’s account verified.

Customers who are placing real money wagers (or making deposits/withdrawals into or from their accounts) will also need to pass geo-location standards ensuring they are physically located within the specific legal state in which PlayUp services. This is typically done with the use of a downloadable plugin, or the GPS chip in your mobile device.

Once the verification process has been completed customers will enjoy full access to their new PlayUp New Jersey account and be able to utilize the desktop and mobile clients of their choice while also taking advantage of PlayUp NJ’s exclusive promotions.

Simply create an account, have it verified, deposit, and then place your bets.

PlayUp New Jersey Software

Like most NJ online sportsbooks, PlayUp accepts wagers through its desktop / web browser service and through its online mobile sports betting app. They both give off similar vibes (color scheme, offerings, layout), and contribute to a solid overall experience. All potential betting markets and account features are available on the computer, and through the mobile app.

PlayUp desktop client

Although mobile smart devices are quickly taking over the global iGaming landscape, many customers still DO use a personal computer (PC) in many facets of their lives. The PlayUp desktop client is extremely easy to use, with simple drop down menus and sports betting icons to identify the specific betting market, wager amount, and odds for concise betting.

The background is typically dark with light lettering and can be easily read regardless of whether a customer is using a large screen monitor hooked up separately to a PC tower or placing a wager from a small screen laptop. Available in-game and upcoming bets are visible straight away, and the bet slip slides in conveniently to the right.

The desktop client will require a quick plugin installation to verify your location.

PlayUp NJ mobile app

Mobile device users can download the iOS version for their iPhone or iPad from the standard app store, while the Android version is a separate download that can be found right on the PlayUp website. Simply tap the corresponding icons to download the appropriate version for your mobile device. In all, the set up, including download, shouldn’t take but a few moments.

In both cases, the mobile version of PlayUp New Jersey is streamlined yet extremely easy to use and understand with a full array of features customized for mobile device users. The background likewise is dark with light lettering (typically) and requires very little practice (if any at all) to comprehend the exact event being wagered on. The amount of the wager, the odds at which a successful bet will pay out, and all pending bets are contained within a customer’s personalized online betting slip. Overall its intuitive, convenient, and easy.

PlayUp partners with NJ Devils

Prior to launching its sports betting operation in the state, PlayUp and the New Jersey Devils announced an exclusive partnership agreement in January 2021. The Devil’s pregame show will take place in the freshly remodeled PlayUp Studio, due to the arrangement as a ‘presenting’ partner. While there won’t be a physical sportsbook at the Prudential Center in Newark (that’s not legal, brick-and-mortar books in NJ must be at approved casinos or race tracks), there will be an in-arena ‘activation’ area, known as the PlayUp Sports Lounge. Assistance for potential online bettors will be made available within the activation area for attendees looking to get involved with PlayUp online sportsbook.

Bet your favorite sports with PlayUp

Almost every sport that routinely is available for public broadcast or closed circuit access will be available on PlayUp NJ.

Football – Basketball – Baseball – Hockey – Golf – Soccer – Boxing – Formula 1 Racing – NASCAR – Tennis – Table Tennis – Cricket – Cycling – MMA – (many others)

However, there ARE specific restrictions to in-state wagers on collegiate events within New Jersey. At least for now — this may change at some point in the future, with talks ongoing. As per state law, all New Jersey sports betting customers are specifically NOT allowed to place real money wagers on in-state college teams (such as Rutgers). This applies even if Rutgers/Seton Hall/Princeton or another NJ collegiate team is competing out of state. There is also a blanket restriction for any college games that are physically being played within the Garden State — meaning that, at this time, PlayUp NJ customers will NOT be permitted to place a wager on a college sports event that is taking place physically within the state of New Jersey.

Again, these restrictions could be lifted very soon, but for now these are the rules for in-state collegiate teams and competitions.

Wager types

PlayUp offers a comprehensive range of sports wagers that are legal, and fully authorized within the state of New Jersey.

Moneyline – spreads – teasers – parlays – totals (over/under) – propositions (props) – futures – live (in-game betting)

PlayUp banking choices

There is a full array of deposit and withdrawal options that are quick, easy, and secure when patronizing PlayUp Sportsbook. One note however is that PlayUp does NOT have the PayPal e-wallet option like many other licensed U.S. sportsbooks do. Keep in mind that since PlayUp isn’t live in the state of NJ yet, we don’t know exactly which payment methods will be accepted for deposits and withdrawals. However, if Colorado is any indicator (we believe it will be), there will be plenty, including:

VIP Preferred e-check

This method has quickly become one of the most popular (and easy) ways to both deposit and withdraw funds into or from your legal, licensed, and verified sportsbook account. In order to enjoy the VIP Preferred e-check method, customers will need to provide their bank account number as well as their bank’s routing number. Once that task is completed and verified, PlayUp NJ customers can deposit from their bank account into PlayUp New Jersey, or withdraw funds from their PlayUp NJ account into their own bank account.

Skrill e-wallet

Skrill is one of the most popular e-wallets on the planet, and can be funded directly through your bank account, a separate online account in your name, or even peer-to-peer transfer in select cases. This option will work for both depositing and withdrawing from your PlayUp verified account, and is a great option for e-wallet users considering PlayUp does not have a deal with PayPal at this time.

Play+ Card

You can establish a PlayUp Play+ card through your gaming account and then fund it using a major debit or credit card. Once this is done, you will receive a physical Play+ plastic card that can then be reloaded (and used to deposit or withdraw funds via authorized ATMs) at your convenience. The Play+ card can will also work at most business establishments where the Discover card is accepted, just like a normal debit card.

Major credit cards (Visa/Mastercard)

Enter your Visa or Mastercard account number, the expiration date of the card, and the security code located on the back of the card near your signature. From there, the online purchase of PlayUp New Jersey funds will be deducted from your card balance and immediately become available in your PlayUp NJ account. Note that major credit cards can only be used to deposit on PlayUp NJ at this time… also, they CAN’T be used for withdrawals, so make other arrangements.

Paysafe Prepaid Card

This prepaid debit card option is available for purchase and reloading at participating land-based retailers. Once the card has been funded, use the card number when making a deposit onto PlayUp in the Garden State and your PlayUp NJ account will be funded the corresponding amount. Similar to major credit cards, this option can only be used for depositing onto the online sports betting portal at this time. In other words, no withdrawals.

Paysafe Cash

Use the Paysafe Cash option via your PlayUp NJ account to receive a unique barcode that can then be taken to participating land-based retailers in order to make a deposit. Once the cash has been paid at a retailer, the corresponding amount will become available in your PlayUp New Jersey account within a few short minutes. Some participating retailers include: 7-Eleven, CVS, Walgreens, Family Dollar, Dollar General, along with many others. This option can only be used for deposits, and not for withdrawing funds.
