BetStars NJ Online Sportsbook: A First Look

BetStars Sportsbook New Jersey

BetStars NJ joined the fray last week to become New Jersey’s latest online sportsbook. The new BetStars Sportsbook launched on Thursday and we’ve had a little time to soak it all in and see what it’s all about.

Currently, BetStars NJ is available via iOS and Android only; a desktop-friendly website has not yet launched. The Android app is downloadable at BetStarsNJ.com and the iOS sportsbook has been added on to the existing PokerStars NJ app available in the App Store. BetStars should launch a separate, dedicated sports betting app for iOS in the near future.

In a press release, Matt Primeaux of BetStars said this:

“We are excited to introduce BetStars to New Jersey sports fans. As one of the largest online gaming companies in the world with millions of customers worldwide, we have successfully launched BetStars in regulated markets across Europe and look forward to expanding and enhancing our New Jersey BetStars offering, including through leveraging the Sky Betting & Gaming acquisition following approval from the UK Competition and Markets Authority, to provide a premier product and experience to our customers in this new and developing market.”

BetStars Sportsbook, PokerStars and BetStars Casino will allow customers to share a single account and wallet across all three products. One login is all you’ll need to play poker, try the casino, bet on sports and fund your account.

BetStars NJ Launches with Healthy Selection of Promotions

The NJ online sports betting market is growing every more competitive by the week and the people at BetStars have clearly taken that into account. From day one, BetStars NJ has come equipped with a healthy selection of promotions and bonuses.

To begin with, BetStars NJ offers new customers a $500 welcome bonus. This offer is a bit different than other welcome offers in that it is not a first deposit match bonus. Instead, the offer matches your first bets as a customer with additional free bets totaling up to $500.

It starts with your first bet on sports at BetStars. Place your first bet and BetStars will match it with a free bet worth up to $50. After that, every $150 you wager will get you an extra $50 free bet until you’ve claimed a total of $500 in free wagers.

For example, if you sign up and place a $50 bet on the Chiefs to beat the 49ers this weekend, BetStars will give you another $50 bet you can use at the sportsbook. If you stick around and bet another $150, BetStars will release the next $50 in free bets. You’ll keep getting $50 free bets for every $150 wagered until you’ve gotten a total of $500 in free bets.

The free bets train at BetStars doesn’t stop after you’ve claimed your $500 in new customer wagers, either. As an ongoing promotion, BetStars is hosting a weekly free bet promotion if you opt in each week and bet $25 on anything from Monday to Sunday. Do that and you’ll get a $5 free bet. It doesn’t matter if you’re a new customer or old hand; BetStars will be running this promotion indefinitely.

Coinciding with the start of the new NFL season, BetStars is also hosting an NFL-themed promotion. From now through the end of the month, BetStars is paying 100/1 on ALL NFL teams to win the Super Bowl. The catch is that only the first $5 of your bet will be at the boosted odds, so there’s a cap to how much this promotion is really worth. Still, getting 100/1 on any team, for any amount, is a nice incentive to give BetStars a spin.

A post on the PokerStars blog announcing the launch of BetStars NJ explained on Thursday that these new promotions are just the beginning. As new sports come into season over coming months, BetStars will be releasing new promotions for those sports as well.

Introducing New BetStars Features

Unique promotions will not be the only way BetStars plans to compete in the crowded NJ market. BetStars has also launched with a variety of special features such as:

  • Spin & Bet: If you like to gamble while you bet, you can pay 10% of your wager to activate the Spin & Bet feature for a shot at increasing your odds by up to 10x. It works by taking 10% of your wager off the top and then randomly choosing an odds multiplier of 1x to 10x. So, if you pick a bet at odds of +200 and get a 10x multiplier, your bet will be booked at odds of +2000.
  • Stars Stack: These are basically parlay wagers with a unique twist: you pick three players from any game and if all three score a touchdown, you bet is a winner.
  • Cash Out: Cash Out is becoming a common feature at NJ betting sites. With this, you can close out your bet early at reduced odds. For example, if your team gets off to a 20-3 lead and you don’t want to risk them blowing it, you can close the bet early and take a reduced payout right now.
