The best bets and resources to make you more profitable
Sports betting in New Jersey officially launched in 2018. This was after a long hard fight with lawmakers and the Professional Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) for upwards of a decade.
They finally won the fight in May, 2018 when it was ruled unconstitutional. This allowed states to legalize sports betting, and New Jersey didn’t wait long to facilitate legal sports betting in the Garden State.

PointsBet follows suit with the previous books that offer a generous sign up bonus. New users can get up to $2000 in 2 free bets. They also have daily odds boosts and generally a sleek interface that is easy to navigate.
Unibet is a fairly new sportsbook, but they are easy to use and still have some good promos.
Tipico is a great sportsbook, however it is only legal in two states – Colorado and New Jersey. They have one of the larger sign up bonuses available. Tipico is interesting because it is an app-based sportsbook, unlike all other competitors which have websites along with their apps.
