What we like about Unibet Sportsbook NJ
Welcome Offers and Promotions – It never hurts to have an attractive welcome offer for new sports bettors in NJ, and Unibet does not disappoint in this department.
Live Betting – Live betting has become an integral part of online sports betting, and the live platform at Unibet delivers in this area. There are constantly different live-in-play events to wager on, making for an exciting experience for bettors.
Strong Betting MarketSelection – Along with all of the major U.S. sports, Unibet Sportsbook also offers markets for more niche offerings, even for the likes of table tennis, motorsports, and darts. All in all, users should easily be able to find the betting events they are looking for.
“Profit Boosts” – This is one of the recurring promotions. What it means is that you can opt-in to wager on a certain event/game, and you can improve the odds on the bet by 20% (on most offers). So let’s say the moneyline for the underdog on a certain game is +120. If you use the 20% profit boost here, you would get the same bet at +144. Note that typically there is a max bet involved here, such as $25 or $50.
Areas for improvement
The iOS app is slow and crashes often.
Unibet NJ uses the risk-management/oddsmaking supplier Kambi, same as DraftKings, SugarHouse and several others; meaning you’re not going to find much differentiation when shopping around.
Their cashouts can take a few days, compared to others who are now near-instant now.
Software and User Experience at Unibet Sportsbook
Sports bettors will see Unibet’s customary green and white color scheme upon entering the lobby. It’s not the most inspiring site design we’ve ever seen, but the simplicity and intuitiveness of the platform and the overall betting experience make up for that.
Let’s dive deeper into the Unibet Sportsbook on both desktop and mobile.
Unibet Sportsbook Desktop
The main lobby of the sportsbook is laid out as simply as you can imagine.
Upon load, you are hit with the top sporting events in the main area of the site, with the sports menu located on the left. The main separator in that section is a black background that pops when you compare it to the white and green scheme in the events module.
We need not go into too much detail on how the design of the platform is, as that’s not the angle Unibet Sportsbook is going for.
It’s apparent the operator is hoping the simple design of the site creates a rewarding user experience for sports bettors. You can go from page to page quickly and there’s no clutter or an abundance of ads getting in your way.
The ease of browsing through the platform and overall functionality can go a long way, and it’s a department where Unibet shines. It’s easy to go from sport to sport — the handy search feature in the top left of the menu is a nice touch — and the actual betting process is as simple as can be.
As evident, Unibet is trying to get out of the way of sports bettors and simply give them an easy-to-use betting platform with no frills or tricks attached. Loading times are quick across the board and we did not run into any notable issues while testing numerous different aspects of the site.
Unibet Sportsbook App
The Unibet app is available for both iOS and Android devices. You can find the app in the Apple and Google Play stores, respectively, and the download and setup process is simple and quick.
Once loaded and opened on your device, you’ll notice the familiar color scheme and clean look translates over from the desktop version.
There are two headers in the main view: the first allows you to quickly navigate to other areas, such as the casino or the support section. Below that is the sportsbook header, where you can either search directly for your desired betting market or expand to see the full selection of sports on offer.
Scrolling between the various areas of the app is quick, however testing and general usage led to semi-frequent crashes on the iOS version of the app. We hope and anticipate upgrades will solve this issue.
It’s easy to add bets to your bet slip, then minimize, and your user options are easily accessible in the top right of the screen, which allows you an extra layer of quick navigation through the app.
The overall feel from the desktop version of Unibet Sportsbook is mirrored on mobile devices, as we didn’t notice any dropoff in performance or user experience in the app. As we’ve alluded to, it’s a simple but highly effective betting platform.
Banking at Unibet Sportsbook
There’s little to complain about when it comes to the available banking options at the Unibet Sportsbook. Most of your standard cashiering options are available.
Cash – The Unibet Sportsbook is linked to the Hard Rock Casino at Atlantic City. You can deposit cash instantly at the casino cage and also withdraw within 15 minutes of requesting your funds from your account.
All of the usual withdrawal methods are also available. In addition, you can also withdraw cash at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, located in Atlantic City, New Jersey, within 15 minutes of requesting your funds from your account.
Unibet NJ Bet Markets/Types
Sports Selection
As expected, all of the main U.S. sports can be found in the lobby. Among the sports offered:
Football
Basketball
Baseball
Hockey
Golf
Soccer
Tennis
MMA/UFC
Motorsports
Darts
Table Tennis
Cycling
Cricket
As you can see, there’s no shortage of options when it comes to sport selection. It should be easy for sports bettors to find their favorite betting markets.
Betting Lines/Markets
All of the standard betting types are available at Unibet Sportsbook.
Live and in-game wagering
Moneyline wagers
Spreads and totals (fixed odds on team and game totals, halves, quarters, etc.)
Alternate spreads and totals
Player props
Game props
Futures
More
There’s a strong selection of wager types and you can also partake in all different kinds of interesting futures, props, parlays, teasers, and more.
As for the pricing, testing showed that it’s in line with other top sportsbooks in New Jersey. As noted earlier, it’s powered by Kambi Sports, and the pricing is usually identical across all other “Kambi books.”
One of the better promos we came across during testing was the “Weekly Parlay Boost”, in which bettors can maximize their payouts and boost their returns by up to 30%. Certain terms and qualifying restrictions apply here, but it’s a fun perk to check out closer for those that enjoy parlays.
Customer Service at Unibet Sportsbook
Whenever you have an issue or question, you can contact the support team at Unibet Sportsbook through a few different avenues, including live chat, email, and phone.
What is most impressive in terms of support is the “Help Center” Unibet has set up for anyone that has common questions or concerns when using the platform. With so many different categories, from deposits/withdrawals to a wealth of information about responsible gaming, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to find a solution to your problem.
Overall, it’s a strong customer service experience at Unibet Sportsbook. You can escalate your issues to the actual support team if you can’t find what you’re looking for in the help section and are wanting a quicker resolution. That kind of support coverage results in feeling safer and more secure while sports betting at the online sportsbook.
Land-based ties
Unibet’s New Jersey links are with the Hard Rock Casino and Hotel in Atlantic City. The site was formerly the Trump Taj Mahal, before it was sold to the current occupiers in 2016.
The site includes one of the biggest casinos in Atlantic City, measuring out at over 167,000 square feet. Within the space, the sports betting section is one of the newest areas of the attraction and has been designed to cater for hundreds of players at any one time, with huge screens and betting terminals littered throughout. It’s essentially a sports bettor’s paradise.
And, considering both the Hard Rock and Unibet brands are as strong as ever, it’s not too surprising to see the two sides have joined forces. Whether or not the Unibet Sportsbook is able to carve out a sizable chunk of the New Jersey sports betting market remains to be seen, but this is sure to be a fruitful partnership for both stakeholders regardless.
Unibet NJ verdict
Bottom Line
While it’s not the flashiest of interfaces, the Unibet Sportsbook delivers when it comes to overall performance. The platform is easy to navigate and Unibet’s live betting makes for a more action-packed experience for sports bettors interested in live-in-play markets. With a lot of sports offered and fair lines across the board, new players can feel secure in betting at Unibet.
