Bet Beholder & Rebel Stakes Races

From this list, only TVG offers horse race betting. The rest on this list are awesome online sportsbooks for every other sport you might be interested in betting on.

Online sports betting (including horse race betting) in New Jersey became legal in 2018. The state has since licensed and regulated over 15 online sportsbooks.

It’s important to know the difference between legal, licensed sportsbooks and illegal, unlicensed sportsbooks. At illegal sites, you have no way of knowing that your funds are safe and that you’ll get paid if you win. At legal sites, your money and personal information are protected.

We only list legal sportsbooks that are properly licensed and regulated by the state of New Jersey.

When you’re betting on sports at one of the legal, licensed online sportsbooks listed above, you’re doing business with a heavily regulated company. Their security and software have been tested by the exact same regulators who oversee sports betting and casino play at Atlantic City casinos.

These sportsbooks are required by law to protect your personal information the same way that a regulated financial institution is required to protect your information. And these sportsbooks are required to keep your funds separate from operating funds, meaning you never have to worry about the safety of your money.

Best of all, if you have a problem with a legal sportsbook, you have a clear process for notifying state regulators about the problem and a system for resolving those problems. You’re not going to get that kind of assurance with an illegal sportsbook.

Online sportsbooks offer a few basic kinds of promotions. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the bonuses mentioned above.

• No deposit bonus or bet: Does not require you to make a deposit to claim. Money can be used to bet, but cannot be cashed out.
• Match bet or bonus: Requires you to make a deposit. The site then matches your deposit at a certain percentage up to a certain amount with bonus money that can be used to bet.
• Risk-free bet: Requires you to make a deposit and place a bet. If you lose the bet, the site will refund you some amount of the bet (or up to a certain limit). The refund may be in the form of bonus money that can be used to bet again but cannot be cashed out.

Be sure to visit the site for full terms and conditions on any bonus offer.
