An hour later, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City started taking bets at a temporary sportsbook location inside its race book. The NJ sports betting market was off and running.

Eight Atlantic City casinos and two active racetracks have retail books in operation and are licensed to offer online sportsbooks.

Monmouth Park Racetrack

Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport was the first operation to take a legal sports bet in New Jersey and rightfully so. They’ve been waiting to do it since 2013.

William Hill US is Monmouth’s partner, and the sportsbook officially opened June 14, 2018, in the William Hill Race & Sports Bar.

They’re making plans to spend $5 million building an even bigger sports wagering lounge on the property with space for up to 5,000 gamblers.
