With both a casino and a sportsbook under its business umbrella, Unibet has become an important player in the East Coast gambling mecca that is New Jersey. The sportsbook in particular has been overhauled to keep up in a crowded betting market that has seen more than $37 billion wagered since the state launched online sports betting in August 2018.
This Unibet Sportsbook review will cover how to get started with the operator, share the nuts and bolts of the New Jersey betting app, and provide an overall review of the bookie.
How to join Unibet Sportsbook in NJ
NJ bettors looking to join Unibet Sportsbook will find the process takes less than 10 minutes to complete in most instances. From their website, here are the steps you’ll need to complete:
Unibet’s betting app in New Jersey
Kindred Group owns 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 can easily find what games are in play to make a live bet, sort by sport, and track your bets. The green and black design is eye-catching but not distracting. It’s clean, but not too simple. There’s also a dark mode display for those seeking that option.
Unibet’s apps are state-specific, so the New Jersey app will only work if you’re within the state border. If you're wanting to play out of state, you can use your same account but will need to download a different app.

Unibet NJ banking options
Unibet NJ’s banking options fall roughly in line with what other New Jersey operators carry, but with a few extra avenues that can make things even easier on bettors.
The $10 minimum for deposits is lower than other bookmakers as well, so you don’t need a hefty investment to start playing. Most payouts are disbursed within 3-5 business days, though some options will be instant.

Customer support at Unibet Sportsbook New Jersey
If you click on the “Help” button either in the browser or in the app, you’ll find Unibet has sorted the FAQ section into different portions for the sportsbook and online casino. From there, you can find answers to questions about your account, promotions, banking information, responsible gaming, and more. Should you find yourself unable to get the information you need, you can also reach out via the 24/7 chat support. You can also reach Unibet via phone or email. Social media support is not yet available.
Unibet Sportsbook’s legal status in New Jersey
Unibet Sportsbook is legal in New Jersey, having launched operations in the state in September 2019. This came just over a year after the first wave of sportsbooks opened in NJ, giving Unibet a bit of a disadvantage. However, since then, the operator has worked hard to become a quality alternative to those first-wave bookmakers.
Our expert opinion of Unibet Sportsbook in New Jersey
Unibet Sportsbook is a good option for New Jersey players looking to get a great deal on odds. The operator tends 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 are 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.
However, we’d like to see the app get even more intuitive. We expect this will continue to improve as the partnership with Kindred will enhance the platform.
