With New Jersey sports betting now in full swing, it’s a great time to evaluate how the state’s major sportsbooks are faring – and where they have succeeded most during their time in the eastern United States. While no single sportsbook is perfect, the vast majority of operators in New Jersey have proven capable of providing sports bettors with an enriching experience, particularly in the mobile sphere.

There will, of course, be other competitors joining the ranks in the coming weeks and months. But for our purposes, we’ll be focusing specifically on the best online sportsbooks that are already operating within the state, the top promo offers you can grab and what sports bettors will enjoy most from each sportsbook experience.

DraftKings Offer: Get a risk-free bet up to $500

• DraftKings Sportsbook has knocked its initial offering out of the ballpark with an extraordinarily user-friendly experience which is well catered to novice sports bettors. It also offers another terrific interface along with loads of other perks for its users. 
• The desktop look is already familiar and respected to many across the industry who will surely dive into the sports betting scene, so the mobile app closely resembles what it has already built for daily fantasy sports. Now that the initial bugs are out of the way, users will have no issue figuring out where to go, as the layout is easy to understand and navigate through. 
• Some may not love that the home tab prompts novice bettors towards certain games, but the reality is that those recreational bettors are the primary demographic, so for them, the prompted game lines, which are derived from a series of smart algorithms that factor in location, DFS lineups, etc, will likely be appreciated.

PointsBet Offer: Get up to $1,000 back on your first two bets

• PointsBetting allows you to rake in big-time profit if you’re on the right side of a blowout or an upset by increasing the payout for every point past the spread the final result ends up being. Betting $10 the over for a game that surpasses the total by 10 points will earn you $100 ($10 x 10 points over the total). 
• PointsBet also allows bettors to come up with their own wagers! Simply tweet the hashtag #nameabet at @PointsBetUSA with an event for which you would like them to produce odds (terms and conditions apply; namely, the sport must be one that PointsBet already provides odds for), and they’ll do it! 
• PointsBet has a lot going on from a wagering perspective – and that’s apparent right from the home page, where a revolving menu of feature items greets users in the top middle of the screen.

William Hill Offer: Bet $50 and get a $50 free bonus

• While William Hill’s interface is not quite as sleek as some of the other sites, the ease of navigation is as good as you will find. The left panel is well organized to help you find the sport you are looking for quickly. Once you make your selection, a scrolling list of betting options will appear, sorted by the most popular wagers. 
• While the initial bonus offer of receiving $50 after betting $50 isn’t as high as some other sites provide new users, its promotions pull William Hill right back into the ballgame. William Hill has loads of creative offers throughout the year for its users including the opportunity to cash out before a bet is settled if you believe it offers you an advantage. 
• William Hill’s array of sports to bet on are not as deep as some other sites, but it does have all of the major sports and many more. Rather, you will only be missing out on sports like darts, cycling and motorsports. Keep an eye out, however, as even those may be added.

SugarHouse Offer: Get a 100% Deposit Match Bonus up to $250

• Both the mobile app and website work well. There are a few minor bugs that can pop up from time to time but nothing impactful. The app rating has been rising, with most of the negative reviews coming shortly after its release. What’s more, the app and website are both fast and secure. 
• SugarHouse Sportsbook offers every type of bet you’d be able to make elsewhere. This comprehensive list includes obvious choices like point spreads, moneylines, over/unders, and futures. You can also choose from virtually countless prop bets, parlays and even in-game bets. In fact, SugarHouse provides bettors with over 5 million in-game betting options per year.

BetAmerica Offer: Get a 100% deposit bonus up to $500

• BetAmerica did not offer an iOS app for a while, but it has now been released and looks every bit as sharp as the Android interface. The design looks great and is not too busy. We were unable to locate any bugs despite its relatively new age. Rather, everything seems to work as a user would hope. Additionally, the website has an impressive interface that is easy to navigate. 
• Similar to the app, you’ll find the live offerings on the homepage and be able to navigate by sport. The ‘bet search’ is an excellent tool that will enable you to jump immediately to a specific bet rather than fiddling around until you are able to locate it. There is also a dropdown at the top right of the screen that allows you to see the betting odds however you prefer. 
• BetAmerica has received exceptional reviews for its customer service over the past decade, and has carried that standard over into the sportsbook.

BetStars Offer: Get a risk free first bet up to $500

• BetStars Sportsbook’s mobile offering is new, so we may eventually run into some bugs that need to be ironed out – but as you can see, the early offering looks great and feels organized and easy to use. It sorts available bets by sports or bet types and doesn’t clog up the page with betting options you aren’t interested in. 
• BetStars is right among the front of the pack in terms of offering numerous deposit and withdrawal options.
• BetStars Sportsbook will quickly become popular because of their creative promos. Beyond the initial $500 bonus, users will be given a free $5 bet for every $25 bet they make. You’ll have fun exploring all of the options including a Spin & Bet, Stars Stack, Cashout and Super Boost. \

playMGM Offer: Get up to $100 cash back on your first bet

• PlayMGM offers quite a user-friendly bonus. After players sign up, they’re instructed to make their initial deposit. PlayMGM then offers the player a free wager in the amount they’ve deposited, from $25 all the way to $100. If the player makes an unsuccessful first bet, he or she will be refunded the total amount of that wager up to a maximum of $100. And the best part: The money is deposited as cash within three days of the bet being settled. 
• If you’re a fan of predominantly betting the four major professional sports along with NCAA football and basketball, the playMGM app has just what you’re looking for. You’ll get plenty of MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL options along with a bevy of college options. As for secondary sports, there’s a bit of a shortage here, but there are still some popular events available, including golf, tennis, auto racing and soccer. 
• PlayMGM offers every notable bet type available: Moneyline, Totals (Over/Under), Spread, Prop, Teaser, Parlay (up to a max of 10 games) and Futures wagers. And while playMGM doesn’t have the most robust live bet offering, it does provide one of the most comprehensive list of prop bets of any online sportsbook.

MOBILE INTERFACE: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

• The interface might just be the best part of the FanDuel Sportsbook experience. The mobile experience closely resembles the desktop look, which is clean and easy to follow. Those looking to roll with the consensus plays can do so with minimal effort: not only does FanDuel Sportsbook feature the most popular leagues at the top of its left-hand navigation, it also features the most popular wagers within each sport – as well as on the site as a whole – within the first tab of the center nav. 
• Moneyline odds for each game are presented with big blue numbers, making them easy to read. And you’ll never not know what FanDuel Sportsbook promotions are on the go: They’re situated in the top middle of the screen, giving bettors plenty of enticement to click in. 
• The company regularly offers “insurance” bets in which participants are refunded their wager if they come close to converting their wager without actually doing so (terms and conditions apply, of course). FanDuel also offers “odds boosts”, where it’ll provide better final odds for a game or prop outcome up to a max bet size, usually $50.

• Caesars is widely praised for providing top of the line desktop, iOS and Android layouts that are both user-friendly, clean and functional. The mobile design is pristine and easy to understand and navigate through. We weren’t able to locate any bugs and everything seems to work exactly as you would expect.
• Likewise, the desktop interface is clean and well-organized. You’ll have no trouble finding the bets you want to make and quickly performing whatever you set out to do.
• Few other sites in the industry allow bets as low as $0.01 like Caesars does. And like all other sportsbooks, you’ll be able to choose from Point Spreads, Totals, Moneylines and Futures bets along with Parlays.

OVERALL: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

• The interface is simple but effective, with the majority of the on-screen real estate belonging to whatever menu you’ve chosen to peruse. Some people might prefer that the left-hand nav menu were a bit larger, while others will appreciate the large odds boxes featured in the center-screen area. Whatever the case, the design is clean and easy to follow. 
• The other nice thing about this layout: it isn’t cluttered. If you prefer your special offers located in their own menu, that’s exactly what 888sport does – no rotating banners across the top or bottom here. Players can also easily access events ongoing in that moment, for the purpose of making whatever live bets might be available in those sports or events.\ 
• As with most sportsbooks, 888sport rotates through a variety of different promotions depending on what sports are hot. It also offers bettors the opportunity to join betting “leagues” in which they’re awarded points for each correct bet in a given week; a leaderboard is kept, and the most successful bettors win swag, bet credits and other assorted freebies.
