With both a casino and a sportsbook under its business umbrella, Unibet became an important player in the East Coast gambling mecca that is New Jersey. The sportsbook, in particular, was overhauled to keep up in a crowded betting market that saw more than $37 billion wagered since the state launched online sports betting in August 2018.

This Unibet Sportsbook review covered how to get started with the operator, shared the nuts and bolts of the New Jersey betting app, and provided an overall review of the bookie.

Unibet’s betting app in New Jersey

Kindred Group owned Unibet, and they recently overhauled the betting app for New Jersey players to streamline the customer experience. As of this writing, there were no ratings or reviews in the Google Play store and just two reviews for iOS devices.

In the app, you could easily find what games were in play to make a live bet, sort by sport, and track your bets. The green and black design was eye-catching but not distracting. It was clean but not too simple. There was also a dark mode display for those seeking that option.

Unibet’s apps were state-specific, so the New Jersey app only worked if you were within the state border. If you wanted to play out of state, you could use your same account but needed to download a different app.

How you could download the Unibet app on iOS

  1. Go to the App Store on your iOS device. Make sure you’re logged in with your Apple ID.
  2. Search “Unibet Sports NJ.” Note that it may say “Unibet Sports NJ: New App.”
  3. Tap “Get” then “Download.”
  4. Once the installation is complete, log in with your Unibet account and make a wager.

How you could download the Unibet app on Android

  1. Log into your Google Play account and open the store on your Android device.
  2. Search “Unibet Sportsbook NJ” in the search bar.
  3. Tap “Install” and wait for the app to download.
  4. Log in with your Unibet Sportsbook account and start playing.

Unibet NJ former banking options

Unibet NJ’s banking options fell roughly in line with what other New Jersey operators carry, but with a few extra avenues that could make things even easier on bettors.

The $10 minimum for deposits was lower than other bookmakers as well, so you didn't need a hefty investment to start playing. Most payouts were disbursed within 3-5 business days, though some options were instant.

Deposit methods

  • PayPal
  • Unibet Play+ Card
  • PayNearMe
  • E-check (VIP Preferred)
  • Credit Card (Visa, Mastercard)
  • Debit Card (Visa, Mastercard)
  • Cash (in-person only)

Withdrawal methods

  • PayPal
  • Unibet Play+ Card
  • Trustly (online banking)
  • Bank Transfer

From there, you could find answers to questions about your account, promotions, banking information, responsible gaming, and more. If you found yourself unable to get the information you needed, you could also reach out via the 24/7 chat support. You could also reach Unibet via phone or email. Social media support was not available.

Unibet Sportsbook is not legal in New Jersey. It launched operations in the state in September 2019, but then closed in April 2024. Their launch came just over a year after the first wave of sportsbooks opened in NJ, giving Unibet a bit of a disadvantage. Since then, the operator worked hard to become a quality alternative to those first-wave bookmakers before its closure.

Our expert opinion of Unibet Sportsbook in New Jersey

Unibet Sportsbook was a good option for New Jersey players looking to get a great deal on odds. The operator tended to “spill the juice” towards the players to get a leg up on other operators in the state and entice bettors to wager there instead.

The customer service options were a great asset, especially the live chat in the browser and in the app. In writing this review, we tested both options for speed and helpfulness in finding information. Both saw quick response times and were easy to use.

Betting NJ gave Unibet Sportsbook New Jersey an overall rating of 3 out of 5. This rating was on the following criteria:

  • Welcome Bonus - Rating 0/5: Unibet didn't offer a welcome promo before it closed.
  • Payment options - Rating 4/5: Unibet’s payment options were in line with what many other operators use, and it actually had more than several of the other books. Expansion to include other e-wallets like Venmo and Apple Pay would have helped the score. Payouts were also timely, which was crucial here.
  • Sportsbook app - Rating 3/5: The app was not quite as intuitive as we wanted to see, and the design was nice enough but uninspired. Live streaming was available in the app for select sporting events.
  • Variety & Features - Rating 3/5: Unibet offered a reasonable number of betting markets, especially for same-game parlays and sport-specific parlays. We were hoping for more event live streams.
  • Customer Support - Rating 4/5: Though we didn't personally need to contact Unibet’s customer support to address a specific issue, there were several pages and channels available for most topics. The live chat was also quick to respond and helpful when we tested it with a few questions.
