Take a look at what the Bet365 sportsbook has in store for New Jersey residents right now.
My Bet365 Review: Sports and markets available
Contents
I wouldn’t say that Bet365 has an excessive number of sports or markets on the platform, however, I would say that they are displaying some very positive signs. In terms of the most popular sports available right now, Bet365 offers football, soccer, tennis, and boxing. Interestingly, they do not have markets for baseball, hockey, or any kind of college events, which is surprising.
Given that Bet365 is still fairly new to the New Jersey market, I am quite confident in saying that they will no doubt add sports like hockey and baseball to the offering quite soon. When you look into the markets that they do have for popular sports, they are particularly extensive. For example, even a standard soccer game will pull in more than 100 different betting markets, giving members plenty of options.
Odds & Limits
Bet365 is typically very competitive for its odds, especially for the more popular sports listed in the sportsbook. You will generally find that odds for major soccer games and American football games are slightly higher than what you can find elsewhere, which shows that Bet365 provides value for their members. The maximum amount that you can win when betting on these popular sports is into the six-figure region, which is also quite high when compared to other platforms.

My Bet365 Review: Additional Features
User Experience
My overall experience with the Bet365 sportsbook was very good. I found that the odds were competitive on the whole, it was easy to find what markets I wanted to bet on, and I loved that they have put everything together into a top-quality mobile app.
In-play betting
How to place in-play bets
When you are ready to place an in-play sports bet, you can do so through navigating to the section labeled as ‘live in-play’. Within this section, Bet365 will always display what sports are currently on the go, as well as what markets you can bet on. To make a bet in this section all you need to do is click the event you would like to wager on, enter your stake, and place your bet.
Live streaming
Bet365 is one of the few sites in New Jersey that supports live streaming for a selection of sports that they have. This is not yet available for every single event that they cover, but you can already stream numerous basketball, tennis, and soccer events on this site. The live streams are generally of very good quality, and you can even stream games from the mobile app.
Providing that you have money in your Bet365 account or that you have made a bet within the last 24-hours, you will be able to live stream games.
Mobile App
The Bet365 mobile app is one of the best features of the entire site, at least from a usability perspective. The app is super simple to use, and you can clearly see different sections due to various quick links, and thanks to Bet365 using the green, yellow, and white color scheme, the markets are even easier to spot. The app is incredibly responsive, and you can place sports bets within seconds.

My Bet365 Review – undoubtedly one to try
There are many positive factors to the Bet365 sportsbook in New Jersey. With live betting, live streaming on select sports, quality odds, and cash out options, Bet365 is showing many qualities that could propel them into a market leader position. It’s also a credit to their commitment that they have developed a top-quality mobile app as well, with all of the features that I have just mentioned fully supported on the app.
To address the negative aspects, I found it very surprising that Bet365 has chosen to implement sports like rugby and darts before implementing markets for baseball and hockey. I’m sure that Bet365 has its reasons for doing this, but I also feel that some sports bettors will look elsewhere given the lack of these markets right now.
