Best Overall | Bet Now
Current Offer: Get a deposit bonus up to $500!*

PointsBet is going to be a game-changer for U.S. sports betting. The sportsbook combines traditional sports betting with a unique and, honestly, thrilling way to wager — points betting.

From top-of-the-line live betting and an impressive laundry list of bet types and sports to industry-leading promotions, competitive odds, and innovative live play-by-play contests, FanDuel is a sportsbook for all bettors. Read full review

Great Mobile App
Make no mistake, despite being a casino-based brand, MGM is all-in on online sports betting. The BetMGM app provides users with a wide collection of sports and bets to wager on, in addition to a full suite of casino and poker games (if available in your state). Read full review

Good Odds
William Hill combines excellent odds and new customer bonus offers with an above-average mobile app. While I wish the sportsbook offered more education and ongoing promotions, there is a lot to like about William Hill. Read full review

Best for Poker Players
While FOX Bet is an excellent option for online poker and casino games, FOX Bet will also satisfy most sports bettors thanks to its offering of sports, bet variety, promotions, and features. Read full review

Best Odds, Easy to Use
theScore Bet, the betting app from theScore sports news site, wins points for a stylish and intuitive mobile app that even beginners will have no trouble navigating. But the sportsbook falls short in terms of variety of bets, live bets and bonuses. The biggest whiff of all: a huge missed opportunity to really integrate the trove of sports information offered by its outstanding parent app. Read full review
Other New Jersey Sportsbooks
In addition to our top seven New Jersey sports betting apps for 2021, we reviewed eight others. Here's our high-level takeaways for each. To dive deeper, read our reviews.

SugarHouse
SugarHouse is an excellent sports betting option for residents of New Jersey. I enjoyed the wide variety of bets, easy to use mobile app, and great live betting experience, which focuses on streaming games and offering real-time bets. That said, the odds are just average. Read full review

Golden Nugget
Golden Nugget is a good online casino and sports betting combination. While the odds and bet variety are competitive, I found the mobile app and selection of bonuses were too focused on casino games to recommend Golden Nugget as a primary sports betting option. Read full review

888sport
If you’re new to sports betting, the unrivaled educational how-to content at 888sport will quickly get you up to par. The sportsbook is also a solid bet for those more into action than instruction. However, seasoned bettors may notice that 888sport lacks the range of unique contests found at top sportsbooks. Read full review

BetAmerica
While its history as a horse racing site is impressive, when it comes to sports betting BetAmerica has room for improvement. Although the BetAmerica mobile app is easy to use, I found the education, bonuses for new customers, and variety of bets to be underwhelming. Read full review

bet365
bet365 has a good selection of sports, bets, and live bets to choose from and even offers stats and news, which is rare in the industry. However, the lack of education, average bonuses, and ease of use issues limit the sportsbook’s appeal. Read full review

Unibet
Although I like the overall selection of bets and live bets at Unibet, there aren’t enough differentiating factors to make the sportsbook a premiere selection. Geotechnology issues and poor navigation in the mobile app also withhold Unibet from being an above average sportsbook. Read full review

Caesars
Unless you are already a Caesars Rewards member who visits Caesars brick-and-mortar casinos, the Caesars Sportsbook struggles to compete with competitors that offer a wider variety of bets, better mobile apps and education, and higher quality promotions. Read full review

Hard Rock Sportsbook
Hard Rock is a fine choice for bettors who prefer the slots to sports. That’s because it lacks many of the basic amenities you can get at most other sportsbooks, and the ones it does offer are meh. Read full review

New Jersey Sports Betting Timeline
Here is a short timeline of how New Jersey sports betting became a reality:
- 2009 to 2012 - Senator Ray Lesniak led a lawsuit trying to overturn a federal law prohibiting sports betting. The court ruled that Governor Christie had to be the one to lead the suit. In 2012 Governor Christie signed legislation to legalize sports betting at the state’s casinos and racetracks, only to be sued by the professional sports leagues.
- 2012 to 2017 - The public perception of sports betting shifted a bit. Adam Silver, the NBA's current commissioner, was a notable proponent in speaking in favor of sports betting. In 2017, the Supreme Court agreed to hear New Jersey’s case for legalizing sports betting.
- 2018 - The Supreme Court voted to overturn the federal ban on sports betting in May. New Jersey, eager to offer sports betting, allowed the first retail sportsbook (Monmouth Park) to open in June, and the first online sports betting app (DraftKings) in August.
- 2020 - There are now 17 online sportsbooks available in New Jersey, making it the premier state to bet on sports online. New Jersey residents have the widest selection of sportsbooks to choose from, giving them access to more promotions and bets.

PointsBet is currently the only sportsbook in the U.S. that offers this twist on betting.Read full review
Minimum Deposit: $5
Why Choose PointsBet:
- You’re interested in PointsBetting. PointsBetting takes a spread, total, or prop bet and makes it a variable bet until the end of the game. The idea is, the more correct a bettor is, the more they win, and vice versa.
For example, let's say you bet $10 on the Dallas Cowboys (-3) against the Jacksonville Jaguars (+3). If Dallas wins 24-20, you covered the spread and won by one point. For this example, you multiply your $10 wager by one, for a total win of $10. If Dallas wins 26-20, you covered the spread and won by three points. For this example, you multiply your $10 wager by three, for a total win of $30. If Dallas loses 17-20, you lost the spread by six points (the three Jacksonville won by plus the three Dallas was favored). For this example, you multiply your $10 wager by six, for a total loss of $60. - Bonuses: Typically, PointsBet offers two risk-free bets up to $2,000 in combined value, as well as various seasonal promotions. Keep in mind there are typically rollover requirements attached to each bonus.

What sports leagues can I bet on in New Jersey?
Almost all domestic and international leagues are available to bet on with New Jersey sportsbooks:
How to Read Odds
Odds represent the likelihood of an outcome occurring. In sports betting, each team is assigned odds that represent the likelihood of them winning the game. American odds are what you will see displayed on every U.S. sportsbook and sports betting app.
The first thing you will notice when reading odds will be that:
Betting Odds are written in terms of 100 as an industry standard. The easiest way to think of the plus and minus signs is as follows: If it is a plus, you will receive more than a $100 payout on a $100 bet. If it is a minus, you will have to bet more than $100 to win a $100 payout.
Thankfully, you can view your potential winnings on each bet before placing it at an online sportsbook. That said, it is beneficial to understand the betting odds.
Keep in mind for both spreads and totals, if the game ends in a draw for the bet, you get your stake back but do not win or lose any additional money.
What is a Moneyline bet?
A moneyline bet is a wager on which team will win the game outright. Both the favorite and the underdog are given odds to win the game. View sample bet slip.
Moneyline Odds | How to Read it | What it Means |
---|---|---|
Lions +130 | Lions plus 130 | By betting $100 you will win $130 if the Lions win |
Packers -150 | Packers minus 150 | To win $100, you must wager $150 on the Packers to win |
What is a Spread bet?
A spread bet is a wager on which team will cover the spread or point spread. Underdogs will be given additional points with the spread, while the favorite will have to win by a certain amount of points to cover the spread. View sample bet slip.
Spread Odds | How to Read it | What it Means |
---|---|---|
Lakers + 5 (-110) | Lakers plus 5 points at minus 110 odds | The Lakers must win the game, or lose by less than 5 for you to win your bet |
Rockets -5 (-110) | Rockets minus 5 points at minus 110 odds | The Rockets must win the game by more than 5 points for you to win your bet. A tie is a push, meaning you don't win or lose. |
What is an Over/Under (Total) bet?
An over/under bet focuses on how many points are scored, regardless of who wins the game. After a total point score has been set, bettors can wager whether the game's actual score will be over or under the preset point score. View sample bet slip.
Total Odds | How to Read it |
---|---|
Over 7 (-115) | In order to win $100, you must bet $115 on the overall combined run score to be higher than 7 |
Under 7 (-110) | In order to win $100, you must wager $110 on the total combined run score to be less than 7 |
More of a visual person? Here's a YouTube video covering moneyline, spread, and total bets.
What is a Parlay bet?
A parlay bet is a group of bets, typically spread, moneyline, or total bets, combined into one bet to increase the payout odds. Every separate bet must win to win a parlay bet. View example bet slip.
What is a Future bet?
A futures bet is a bet on an event that takes place in days, weeks, or months. The most common future bets are placed on what team will win the finals before the season starts. View example bet slip.
What are Bonus Rollover Requirements?
Rollover requirements are requirements bettors MUST fulfill before they can withdraw the bonus money. Each type of bonus has different terms and conditions, which you should examine before accepting.
Rollover requirements for sports betting often range between 1X-10X, with some extreme requirements going all the way up to 15X. For example, let’s say you deposit $100 and receive a $50 bonus with a 5X rollover. Before you can withdraw the $50 in bonus funds, you have to wager $750 (($100 + $50)x5). Clearly, the $50 bonus is a lot harder to obtain if you don’t bet frequently.
This table gives you an idea of how much you will have to wager before withdrawing your bonus at multiple rollover rates. We will assume each deposit made is $100.
Bonus Percentage ($100 Deposit) | Bonus Amount | Bonus Withdrawal with 1X Rollover | Bonus Withdrawal with 3X Rollover | Bonus Withdrawal with 5X Rollover | Bonus Withdrawal with 10X Rollover |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
25% Deposit Match | $25 | (100+25)x1 = $125 | (100+25)x3 = $375 | (100+25)x5 = $625 | (100+25)x10 = $1,250 |
50% Deposit Match | $50 | (100+50)x1 = $150 | (100+50)x3 = $450 | (100+50)x5 = $750 | (100+50)x10 = $1,500 |
100% Deposit Match | $100 | (100+100)x1 = $200 | (100+100)x3 = $600 | (100+100)x5 = $1,000 | (100+100)x10 = $2,000 |

Methodology
For Moneyline.com’s annual best online sportsbooks review, we collected more than 36,000 data points over five months from 20 sportsbooks that serve 11 states where full-scale mobile betting is legalized. Hundreds of hours were spent testing and scoring each sportsbook (mobile and online/desktop) in seven core categories: sports and bets offered, odds, live betting, mobile betting, education, ease of use, and bonuses and promotions. The results determined each sportsbook’s overall rating.
Data from more than 1,700 bets (including moneyline, spread and total bets) was used to generate each sportsbook’s comparative odds ranking. Leagues and bet types collected include NCAA football moneyline bets, NCAA basketball moneyline bets, NFL moneyline, spread and total bets, NBA spread, moneyline and total bets, NHL moneyline, puckline and total bets, and soccer 3-way result (moneyline) bets. When collecting odds, we made sure to collect the same games at the same time for each sportsbook, ensuring data accuracy.
About Moneyline.com’s chief sportsbook researcher, Joey Shadeck: I’ve been a hobby sports bettor for more than six years, placing hundreds of bets on my favorite sports (football, basketball, MMA) and teams (Packers, Spartans, and whoever is playing the Lions). Beyond sports betting, I’m known for saying “Wanna bet on it?” in almost any situation and that is how I found out I can eat 42 chicken nuggets in less than 20 minutes.
As of February 2021, 22 different states have legalized sports betting to some capacity. Of those 22 states, the following 11 have legalized full-scale mobile betting: Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada (must register in-person), New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia.
