Bet365 NJ: Licensed & Legal

If you are based in, or around New Jersey, then you really have hit the sports betting jackpot.

In 2018, when the Senate removed the federal ban on sports betting - allowing states to decide whether they would legalize online sports betting - no one expected the Garden State to emerge as a front-runner in the burgeoning US sports betting market. But here we are three years later and New Jersey has cemented top spot with over a dozen licensed online sportsbooks.

It might come as no surprise that FanDuel and DraftKings are the largest online sportsbooks in the state. The two companies are well-known US brands with a large existing customer base in NJ thanks to their DFS products.

However, when it comes to a global perspective, Bet365 completely overshadows the two US operators in terms of customer base and brand awareness. The company began its life in a portacabin in England's industrial north and is now the world largest sports betting operator. It is reflective of the US' historic aversion to sports betting and almost total isolation to the world's online sports betting industry that Bet365 remains lesser-known than FanDuel, DraftKings and BetMGM.

Considering its track record over two decades and the millions of customers worldwide, you can feel 100% secure that Bet365 is a safe and legit sportsbook.

Currently, Bet365 is only licensed in New Jersey. This means that you can sign-up do Bet365 anywhere in the country but you must be within state lines to deposit, place a wager or withdraw. If you are based in New York you can simply take the train, subway or ferry to NJ.

The company have announced that they have partnered with Century Casinos in New Jersey and a launch in Colorado is imminent.

Bet365: Excellent In-play

In-play is an incredible form of betting in the US. It is also known as live betting as it allows you to place a wager on a live event.

There are certain sports that work particularly well with in-play bets. Baseball, for example, is a popular sport to live bet on as there are long breaks. This gives you enough time to place a bet without something happening in real-time to jeopardize your wager. Soccer, for example, is less convenient to bet on with 2 halves of 45 minutes with almost continuous play.

Bet365's In-play service is simply the best out there. In the UK the sportsbook built much of its brand around the winning combination of live streaming and live betting. This means they have had almost 20 years to perfect their in-play service.

If you are in New Jersey and looking to in-play bet then you won't find a better service than Bet365's.
