Online sports betting is booming in the United States and there is no better example than the state of New Jersey when comes to the industry’s success. Early on, the Garden State was one of the first to launch, leading the way for sports betting to be legalized across the nation. For some time, the industry has thrived, both online and in land-based casinos. Just recently, the overall sportbook online app total increased by two as operators continue to launch services.
Now with 16
With the launch of two new online sportsbooks, the state now has a total of 16 apps in operation. theScore Bet and Bet365 NJ are now live, each offering Android and ioS selections. However, Bet365 is only a web-based sportsbook and not a dedicated app.
TheScore Bet was able to launch on September 3rd, after their testing phase was complete. The company is a sports media group located in Canada that operates via several digital platforms. They also have operated a television network in the past. They are now the first media company in North America to build and launch a mobile sportsbook in the US.
TheScore operates in conjunction with Monmouth Park via the facilities’ sports betting license. The app promises to provide fast scores and in-game data, offering a variety of in-game wagering as well as pre-game options.
A varying factor to their app is that the sports betting site can sync to theScore’s sports media app. Users can customize their experience to have personalized betting options. Bets can also be tracked in real time with the application.
For Bet365, their testing phase stated in late August. They were given final approval on the 30th. The company is a well-known provider of sports betting internationally and brings a new flavor to New Jersey. Players will find the Bet365 online casino is also attached so players have access to a shared wallet.
