Borgata online casino is no longer just a New Jersey operation.

Sports

As of this week, Feb. 24 to be exact, the Borgata app is live on both sides of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge thanks to a market access partnership with Rivers Casino Philadelphia.

The brand has a huge Garden State following as the MGM-owned property is Atlantic City’s top-grossing property.

Borgata Sportsbook app is quite sleek, smooth, and has an easy to use interface. The navigation process is also easy, and you can easily find your way through the mobile app. The Borgata sports betting app. Jun 14, 2018 Borgata Sportsbook overview. Borgata Sports is a sleek, smoothly-designed program. The NJ sports betting app, produced in conjunction with MGM’s partner GVC, features a modern color scheme. The site operates under the license of its land-based sister property. The Borgata app is available on browser, iOS, and Android.

“There are few casino brands as well-respected as Borgata, evident by the success we’ve seen with the Borgata Casino app in New Jersey,” said BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt.

“Pennsylvania marks an important milestone for us as we introduce the Borgata Casino brand to the first state outside of New Jersey. We’re confident that players in Pennsylvania will enjoy the digital betting experience of Atlantic City’s premier casino.”

PlayNJ caught up with Matthew Sunderland, VP of Gaming for BetMGM, regarding the Borgata online expansion.

Borgata is ‘well-known and trusted’

From a New Jersey standpoint, the Borgata app has been around for seven-plus years. Combined with Borgata’s land-based success, it should come as no surprise when Sunderland says “there are few casino brands as well-known and trusted as the Borgata.”

He notes this is evident by the success we’ve seen with the Borgata Casino app in New Jersey.

“Our players in New Jersey are incredibly loyal to the Borgata brand, and we believe that we can attract similar loyalty from players in PA. We see this as a huge advantage for our entrance into the PA market,” said Sunderland.

So while up until not Borgata online gamblers were restricted to playing only in NJ, the existing database includes Keystone State customers.

“We also have a strong player database of Pennsylvania residents who have visited the Borgata or used Borgata online in the past, while in New Jersey, and are confident that those players will be thrilled to now have access to the excitement of betting at Atlantic City’s premier casino digitally, from wherever they’re located in PA, said Sunderland.

Comparing 2013 launch vs. 2021 launch

I should come as no surprise the Borgata’s Pennsylvania app is launching with nearly double the amount of games compared to the 2013 NJ debut.

Borgata rolled out in New Jersey with 98 games while the Pennsylvania library has over 180 titles. This includes live dealer, third-party content and in-house games.

Granted it is seven-plus years later.

However, the PA is still much smaller than the current Borgata app available to NJ players. The number currently sits at 645 offerings and growing.

“We release new games weekly from third-party providers and our in-house games studio, so expect that number to keep increasing. The whole player experience is entirely different now from what it was back in 2013, as you can imagine,” said Sunderland.

“Our casino interfaces and software have been upgraded several times and we’ve introduced a range of in-house content alongside industry-leading player engagement tools and mechanics.”

And online players in both states will notice BetMGM’s integration with MGM Resorts’ M life Rewards program.

So like in NJ, Borgata online casino customers in Pennsylvania can redeem their gameplay for accommodations at properties nationwide, including Borgata.

So the Borgata NJ and PA apps have similarities, yet at the same time, are quite different.

And NJ online casino customers regularly commute between states, whether it be work-related or for entertainment.

Even though the Borgata app is live in the Garden State, for regulatory compliance purposes, New Jersey players will need to re-register in order to play across state lines. Sunderland said account details can be the same, but each state requires players to register separately.

Borgata and BetMGM still growing

Aside from the PA launch news, it’s no secret the Borgata and BetMGM (also live in Pennsylvania) brands are playing a significant role in the NJ online gambling industry setting monthly records.

The latest being January’s all-time high of $103 million.

Borgata reported $28.7 million in monthly revenue, which is up an eye-opening 176.8 % year-over-over. And as far as the seven license holders go, Borgata is No. 2 behind Golden Nugget’s $31 million.

Since state regulators do not break down reports by operator, it’s hard to gauge exactly how well individual brands are performing. Sunderland noted Borgata and BetMGM have different player profiles but both “have experienced similar growth trajectory in New Jersey in 2020.”

Now with both brands being live a short car ride away, it seems likely they will only get stronger.

Borgata Sportsbook New Jersey promotions

While Borgata Sportsbook has a great welcome bonus, the available promotions after that are a little lacking. It does offer daily odds boosts for starters, though there is not a page or link where you can view all the current boosts. Instead, near the middle of the webpage or app is a scrollable marquee that shows all the current odds boosts.

Many of them are parlay boosts, and, unfortunately, you can’t always trust that the boosted odds are the best you’ll find on the site. Sometimes, based on how lines shift, you actually will end up with better odds for the exact same parlay simply by creating it on your own, so be sure to always check before just assuming the boosted odds are the best.

Borgata also runs promotions throughout the year that reward you for betting a certain amount of money. For instance, during basketball season, if you placed at least a $50 wager on a college basketball game, you would receive a $25 free bet that you could use for an NBA wager of your choosing. The key stipulation is that the college basketball bet requires odds of no less than -200.

Lastly, Borgata runs a parlay promotion where you can have your winnings increased by as much as 40% on parlays of four to seven legs. A four-leg parlay goes up by 15%, then 20% for five legs, 30% for six and finally 40% for a seven-leg parlay. Any extra winnings are awarded in free bets.
