Reviewing Sportsbooks and Casinos - How do Best Betting New Jersey do it?

The key to us is that our users can trust the information that we put out there about the New Jersey betting scene. At the core of that, are our reviews as, ultimately, it’s the betting sites and casinos that you’re most interested in.

We focus on transparency and below you can read a lot more about the process we take. When we brief our team of experts, we make sure that they know how important it is to be honest - you need to hear the bad with the good at the end of the day.

We do believe in giving our writers freedom and you will often see different tones of voice within different reviews, but the core structure is the same for all reviews, delivered through bespoke templates that we’ve created, to ensure that there is consistency, continuity and authority. Not to mention a certain familiarity which is very important too.

Writers, Fact Checkers, and Contributors - Our Experts Explained

From our founders and owners, to the writers, fact checkers and contributors that work on Best Betting New Jersey, you won’t find anyone that doesn’t have significant experience and expertise within the iGaming industry. Our people know and understand what makes a great sportsbook and a fantastic casino for our users.

They all have different areas of specialization - some sports betting, some casinos, some payment methods, and some more news focused - but the one underlying feature is that they hold authority within their sphere of influence.

Guidelines for Editors - Keeping a Core Message of Trust

As we’ve said above, our contributors are experts in their field - but it’s still really important to us to ensure that standards are kept to the absolute highest levels. Our guidelines exist to ensure that our users get the best experience when researching their next places to play.

We make sure that our writers have actually signed up and played at the sportsbook or casino that they’re reviewing, in the same way that you’d test-drive a car before you bought it.

They get under the hood, they check out the specs and make sure they’re happy with what they’re reviewing. Understanding and knowledge is one thing, but when coupled with real time experience, it’s a lethal combination.

We build and run this site at our own cost, and we do create commercial agreements with betting partners in order to maintain and push the site forwards.

However we should be really clear that commercial agreements do not influence our reviews or our rankings. Our writers and contributors get the only and final word.

We encourage our writers to speak the truth; if they think a sportsbook or casino has issues, you’ll be the first to know about it - even if the overall position is that it’s a solid betting site.

It’s important we stick to facts and objectivity, even though we’re often discussing subjective matters - the best sportsbook for example. Whilst we rate one sportsbook at a certain score, it doesn’t mean that you won’t prefer one that’s a few points less in the rankings. You know best what you want.

Let’s take a closer look at what is featured within our reviews.

Data - Sportsbook and Casino Information

Let's start at the beginning of the reviews. Instantly, you will see a host of information points about the sportsbook or casino in question. Key summary of the review, the features you can expect, simple bonus information and the key ranking score are all featured within the header and it should give you a real feel for the operator.

However, as you scroll below this area we then go into much deeper and written detail about the following subjects (and more!):

• Product features of the operator
• Sign-up bonuses information
• Promo T&Cs for sportsbooks and casinos
• Availability of payment methods
• Limits applied to payment methods
• Customer support information
• Number of markets, sports, events, games, slots

How We Approach Bonuses in Reviews

The majority of players in New Jersey are happy to receive betting bonuses or casino bonuses - they’re a key part of the offering from operators. You will often find a bonus for every player type - from casual bettors to the high-stakes and high-roller gamblers.

We walk you through each sportsbook or casino welcome bonus in the reviews - telling you the exact mechanics for how it works, whether there’s a promo code for betting involved, and, importantly, what the key T&Cs are.

You’ll fully understand playthrough requirements, along with any other small print that may have big consequences should you not understand it.

Ongoing Customer Promotions

When it comes to sports betting players, the majority of betting sites out there will offer plenty of ongoing promotions once you’ve got past the registration and welcome bonus elements.

Often sports specific or particularly weighted onto individual events, whether you back the Jets, the Giants, or the Devils, there will be a sports promo for you.

The same stands for online casinos - if you’re a regular player you’ll see plenty of opportunities for promos or bonuses. They may be bonus spins related, or focused on a particular game or slot tournament, but you definitely won’t be left wanting.

Whilst it’s a bit cliché, we have to put a lot of weighting on the bonus element of a betting brand - it’s the key way that operators market to, and retain customers and it’s important that you know what’s what.

Safety, Security, Trust - Key Pillars of the Betting Experience

When you find yourself coming to this website, it’s vital to us that you trust the information available to you. That means finding the most trusted betting site reviews and most trusted casino reviews - anything less is not good enough in our opinion.

You have our word that we will never review or list a sportsbook or casino that hasn’t received a license from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, the governing body and licensor of all gambling activity in the Garden State. You can rest assured that your personal details and your funds are secure, and your gambling experience is a safe one.

Mobile Betting and Apps - A Mobile Product Focus

There will still be a solid proportion of players who wager via their laptop or desktop, but it’s clear that if an operator doesn’t have a great mobile experience then they’re not going to last.

Thankfully in New Jersey, every site has a stand-up mobile app. Like our overall reviews, our writers are expected to test the apps themselves and have first hand experience so it can help form their rankings.

Product - the Hidden Feature that Power Betting and Casino Sites

The product or platform that powers a betting site or casino is vital - it’s key to the user experience of players and all other product features flow off from this. We’ll explain what each operator is using and what the impacts are.

The availability of sports is a key area we look at - if a sportsbook doesn’t have a big offering, they’ll likely get scored down for a lack of variety. Equally they’ll score well if there’s plenty of sports to wager on. Football, basketball betting, and soccer are all wagering staples, but do they also offer betting on golf, tennis, cricket, and esports?

With casinos, this is exactly the same when it comes to the availability of games - different games softwares, and a big variation of game types is necessary to score well. Big jackpots? Table games? The best slots? We’ll talk you through it.

Competitive odds are crucial to sports betting players too - no one wants to realize they’re wagering at 5 points below the market average, and we try to highlight who does well here.

Quantity of markets is another area that sportsbooks need to focus on - just offering the moneyline, totals and spreads won’t cut it - they’ve got to be hot on parlays, offer same game parlay opportunities, and be sharp around player props for all major sports.

Live Casino Systems and Live Betting Options

Live betting is a huge part of the betting experience, allowing you to connect with the team or player you’ve wagered on throughout the event. It gives you a variation of opportunities, such as reducing potential losses, or taking a different angle to hedge your wagers. Of course, supreme confidence in a result may see you double down.

It allows you to use data and information in real time and keep the emotion at the door.

Market availability is crucial, as it is pre-event but so are the features that come with live betting. Features such as cashout, live streaming via watch and wager, data visualizations, and stats will all get a focus within our reviews.

With the best online casinos it comes down more to what sort of live casino and live dealer software the casino is running. Do they have a wide range of live dealer games for example or is their offering on the lighter side?

Choose your Payment Methods Wisely

Much like the operators we're reviewing, the payment method companies - think PayPal, Apple Pay, PayNearMe etc - have to also be licensed by the NJDGE. Anyone offering vendor services needs to be.

This means that if a licensed operator is offering a licensed payment provider, then it’s pretty safe to say it’s a secure payment method and transaction.

When it comes to the payment methods themselves, we also have bespoke pages for all of them, but within reviews we look at some of the following:

• Availability of depositing and withdrawing methods
• How fast are the withdrawals
• What limits are there on deposits
• Limit levels for withdrawing
• Do fees apply?

At the end of the day, it’s a transaction, and like any transaction you make online, you should expect efficiency, effectiveness, speed and be able to trust it’s safe. We’ll make sure you know what you’re dealing with.

Customer Support and Service

Customer support isn’t easy, especially in an industry where people can lose money - however, it’s important that we stay on top of the options that each betting site and casino offer, keeping them held to account if it’s not satisfactory.

Methods of customer support that you should expect to see are:

• Phone lines
• Email
• 24/7 live chat
• FAQs
• Social channels

Our experts actually contact the CS teams during each review and make sure they see what the levels of communication are like and what the response time is like. Of course, be aware that different events and sports may see longer wait teams for live chat and phone lines, and this is normal, but there should still be a great overall experience.

Our Conclusions and FAQs

To finish off every review, we try to summarize neatly our findings in our conclusion. You could just jump straight to this point and get a decent understanding of the operator but we’d always recommend reading everything.

We also collate FAQs from our users, and from general searches through Google - questions that are seemingly important to answer. Our experts make sure rigorous answers are given, again focusing on trust.

Conclusion

Hopefully, you’re now comfortable that we take our sportsbook reviews and online casino reviews extremely seriously and that all efforts go in to make sure that you, the user, are getting the very best information.

You’ll always have transparent information to work with, regularly updated to reflect the latest within the industry. We’re very confident that you’ll find a sportsbook or casino that you love.
