Betfair Casino is a regulated and legal NJ online casino site. It is debatably the biggest site operating under the industry-leading Golden Nugget AC online gambling license.

UK-based Betfair is no stranger to the mobile casino market, and it shows. Its New Jersey casino app practically sings, which is quite the accomplishment given that it houses over 120 games.

We just wish that the game selection on Betfair's mobile app wasn't so heavily weighted toward slots. But given the app's overall design, features, and performance, we'll assume most players will be willing to overlook this minor deterrent, but from the looks of it, Virgin Casino is working hard to expand its mobile library.

Betfair Casino NJ mobile bonus

$200 risk free day – exclusive

Interested in free money? Mobile players that successfully register an account on Betfair Casino will receive a $200 risk free day.

The $200 must be played online and cannot be withdrawn. However, any winnings can be withdrawn immediately once a player makes a real-money deposit.

The bonus remains valid for 60 days after it's deposited in player accounts, after which time it will expire.

Players must wager the full amount 20 times on slots before the funds become eligible for withdrawal. This equates to a 5 percent cashback deal — meaning that players who grind out a 95 percent return slot should expect, on balance, to break even. Of course, there is a strong possibility they'll turn a profit.

Other game formats contribute at a lower rate. Roulette wagers contribute 50 percent, and all other table games, including videopoker, just 10 percent. Therefore, it's probably in a player's best interest to clear their bonus wagering on slots.

In either case, players are allotted plenty of time to clear their bonus: a full 90 days.

Three areas where Betfair Casino mobile exceeds the competition

  • Fast: Betfair clearly optimized its NJ casino app, as both its menus and games load quite quickly. That's saying something, considering the app is stocked with account management features, not to mention, over 120 games.
  • Accessible: It's pretty rare for a mobile app to be more smartly designed than its desktop counterpart. But on Betfair mobile, practically everything, from most account menus to game groupings, is just a single tap away. Despite this, the app does not feel cluttered.
  • Exclusive content: Betfair offers more exclusive slot titles than any other NJ casino app we reviewed.

Three areas where Betfair Casino mobile could be better

The pros of Betfair Casino's mobile app vastly outweigh the cons, but that's not to say there aren't a few small areas where it could be improved.

  • Download size: As far as NJ casino apps go, Betfair's offering is on the large size. In fact, it's the largest of any app in the industry. The Android file clocks in at around 45 megs, while the iOS version will take up over 75 megs of space. Still, that's a relatively minute amount of space on most modern devices, where 8 -64 gigabytes is standard.
  • Promotions: Betfair isn't big on promotions, and when it does offer them, they're not always very appealing. Players will find that most of their value will come from the site's loyalty program, which is excellent.
  • Table game selection: Betfair is known for its exclusive and one-off table game selection, so it was a little disappointing to see that only roulette and blackjack made the transition to mobile.

Mobile games on Betfair Casino NJ

Betfair offers an ample amount of slots and a few other games. Overall, its mobile game library ranks slightly above average.

Slots

Slots are the bread and butter of the Betfair Casino NJ mobile app. At present, there are well over 100 slots available for mobile play, with more added regularly.

At this juncture, it's pretty safe to say that if a slot launches on the main site, there's a strongchance it will find its way to mobile shortly thereafter.

New slots are prominently displayed in the app's lobby. Recent listings include:

  • Lucky Tree
  • Divine Fortune (Progressive)
  • Epic Monopoly II
  • Cleopatra Plus
  • Wild Wild West: The Great Train Heist

Betfair is no slouch when it comes to offering old standbys either. Patrons will be happy to know that the same games they've been playing for years, can now be played from anywhere in New Jersey.

These include:

  • Wheel of Fortune: Triple Extreme Spin
  • Davinci Diamonds
  • Zeus
  • Double Diamond

As is the case with all NJ casino apps, Betfair's slot lobby is mostly comprised of penny slots, where a healthy portion of the return is wrapped up in one or more bonusfeatures. Be prepared for some volatility.

Players will find that they have a lot more wagering options on Betfair's mobile app versus an AtlanticCity casino. Full cover bets can be made for as little as a quarter, and as much as $50ormore.

Video poker

Betfair Casino's mobile video poker lobby is pretty bare-bones, comprised of just four single-line games.

On a positive note, all games feature returns of ~99 percent or more under optimal player conditions. That, and they're the Game King versions of the games, which we consider superior.

Games include:

  • Jacks or Better (highest return)
  • Bonus Poker
  • Double Bonus Poker
  • Double Double Bonus Poker

Admittedly, we expected a bit more, as Betfair features significantly more VP games, including a couple of exclusives, on its desktop client.

Table games

Casino

Betfair is known for supporting an eclectic blend of lesser-known table games on its main New Jersey site. Unfortunately, none of these one-off titles were ported to mobile.

What we're left with are five of the better blackjack and roulette games available on mobile:

  • Blackjack Classic Touch
  • Blackjack Touch Single Deck
  • Blackjack
  • Roulette
  • Roulette Royale

All of these games rank at or near the top of their class with regards to RTP (return-to-player). The blackjack games all offer returns of approximately 99.5 percent or higher, assuming basic strategy. Roulette games feature just one zero, effectively trimming the house edge down to a scant 2.7 percent.

As far as the game controls, it's pretty clear that the touch titles were designed specifically with the mobile user in mind. The ports are a bit clunkier, but not to the point where they'll cause players headaches.

Betfair Casino mobile system requirements

Betfair is a hefty app, so it doesn't surprise that the system requirements tend toward the higher side.

The first thing players will need is an Android or iOS powered device, as the software doesn't support any other mobile platform. Secondly, the device will need enough storage space to hold a pretty chunky app: 75 megs on iOS, ~45 megs on Android.

Lastly, the smartphone/tablet will need a fairly modern version of the Android or iOS operating system. Presently, iOS users must have version 8.1 or higher installed. That's just a couple versions behind the latest version.

There's only one NJ casino app on the market that has higher versioning requirements, and that's the newer, and feature intensive Play SugarHouse.

Betfair Casino mobile user interface

There's a strong argument to be made that Betfair's mobile interface is better than its equivalent on a desktop.

The Betfair difference is felt from the moment a player logs in.

Located in the main lobby are handy top and bottom bars, that provide links to various game libraries and account management features. Games are grouped not only by type but by popularity and exclusivity.

Below the top bar, are a series of game icons. These icons are divided into two groups; one for new games, located conveniently toward the top of the screen, followed by a listing of Betfair Casino's most popular mobile games. It works.

As for the account management features, they're as numerous as what's found on the desktop. Bottom bar options include Promotions and VIP Club, while players can access the app's cashier from either the main interface or the side menu.

Game interfaces vary, depending on the title's manufacturer, but in all cases, they're easy to get a handle of. Options such as sound, rules, pay tables, and Autoplay are often grouped together, and there are controls to handle bet denominations and player decisions.

All in all, about the best interface we've seen on any NJ casino app.

Is Betfair Casino mobile app stable?

No major stability problems were encountered. However, there were a few minor quirks that caught our attention:

  • There is a new location verification check every time a game is opened. The geolocation process eats up a few seconds each time.
  • Games are prone to the occasional hangup. Once or twice we couldn't back out of a game without closing the app.
  • Some games have a demo, or free, mode — some don't.

It is worth noting, that when the app is working properly — and that's most of the time — its performance is nearly unparalleled. Menus load in the blink of an eye, and there are very few lost frames or technical hiccups during play.

Installing the Betfair Casino NJ mobile app

For the most part, yes. Although it does entail a few extra steps on Android.

Installing the Betfair Casino NJ mobile app

For the most part, yes. Although it does entail a few extra steps on Android.

In order to get started:

  • Navigate to BetfairCasino.com from an Android or iOS powered device.
  • From there, click on any game title.
  • A screen will prompt users to download the app from the App Store (iOS) or for Android.
  • Before downloading for Android, users must navigate to their Settings -> Security, turn on UnknownSources, and then pull down the notification panel from the top of the screen, and tap the Betfair download package.
  • iOS users can skip this process, and have the option to download the app directly from iTunes.
  • Install the Betfair package and run the app from the applications menu.

Tip: Players that cannot open the download package may want to consider grabbing a File Manager app. Generally speaking, players should have no issue opening and installing any NJ mobile casino download file from one of these programs.

Cashiering on Betfair Casino NJ mobile

When it comes to depositing options, Betfair's mobile casino offers more than a few:

  • ACH (eCheck): Quick and reliable way of getting funds on and off-site. Instant approvals. Checking account required.
  • Betfair Prepaid Card: Well suited for players who are having trouble depositing via more traditional methods. No physical card is required for Betfair Casino mobile deposits. The physical card can be used for ATM withdrawals and wherever Discover is accepted.
  • Visa/MasterCard credit and debit card: Quick, easy, but not so reliable. Visa transactions are especially known to fail.
  • Bank transfer: Players must enable Online Bill Pay from a participating bank to use this option.
  • Skrill: Third-party payment processor. A 2.9 percent fee on MasterCard/Visa loads applies.
  • PayNearMe: A 100 percent reliable means of getting funds on Betfair Casino. The only problem is players will have to conduct a person-to-person transaction with a 7-Eleven agent.
  • Cash at the Cage: Load fund with cash at the Golden Nugget casino cage in Atlantic City.
  • Wire transfer: Players can wire funds from their bank account to Betfair's.
  • Other: Betfair also accepts cashier checks, money orders, bankers drafts, and personal checks in US dollars. Just expect to wait about 7-10 days if using one of these methods to deposit.

Withdrawal options are somewhat more limited, but still varied enough to suit most players:

  • ACH (eChecks): Fast turnaround time.
  • Betfair Prepaid Card: Capped at two withdrawals a day. Fastest turnaround time.
  • Check by mail: Can take 7-10 business days to reach players.
  • Cash at the Cage: Pick up funds at the land-based Golden Nugget in Atlantic City.

Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

FanDuel is obviously not resting on its perch as the top online sportsbook and iGaming table games operator in Pennsylvania.

It debuted a FanDuel-branded casino app, the first stand-alone casino app in the state, on June 23. The app is now available in PA for iOS and Android users.

FanDuel's PA path

In New Jersey, FanDuel started with a casino app with Betfair and then later integrated it with the sportsbook app. In Pennsylvania, the product rollout occurred in a different order. First, FanDuel launched its mobile sportsbook in July 2019 through its partnership with Valley Forge Casino and Boyd Gaming. The online casino in January 2020 was followed by the debut of the stand-alone casino app in June 2020.

General Manager of FanDuel Casino Jesse Chemtob told PlayPennsylvania:

Betfair Casino App

'We looked at this as a natural evolution of the casino product offering. Our goal is to provide an entertaining experience, one that people are excited to play. Trying to drive innovation in the marketplace over the long term will be how we continue to compete and take market share.'

FanDuel online casino games selection

FanDuel's online casino in Pennsylvania, integrated with the sportsbook, currently has:

  • 21 slot titles
  • 6 table games
  • Game King Video Poker

The most popular table game is blackjack. Chemtob says that is mostly due to a table-games-oriented sportsbook clientele. On the slot menu, customers enjoy Divine Fortune and Wheel of Fortune: Extreme Spin Edition.

To start, the FanDuel casino app will have the same number of games as the current product. But Chemtob said FanDuel is working on adding more games in the 'near future' and making the two products distinctive. Eventually, he said, the stand-alone casino may support more games.

'Early on, there is a more limited set of titles available. As more suppliers come to the market, I think you will see the game offerings grow. We are looking forward to really ramping that up.'

FanDuel rules tables

FanDuel has held the top spot for table games since debuting in July 2019.

January 2020February 2020March 2020April 2020May 2020
Table games wagered received$84,747,555$238,575,556$206,847,269$223,646,520$212,547,812
Table games gross revenue$1,705,810$4,819,860$3,999,261$3,836,818$3,305,415
Slot wagers received$9,329,137$40,708,497$43,786,964$92,566,326$125,308,187
Slot gross revenue$375,442$1,233,147$1,589,002$4,099,097$4,724,031

'We are happy with the results so far, but there is a larger market, rather than just sports bettors or table games players,' said Chemtob. 'There is a much bigger online casino market we are trying to tap into. We want to offer a product to those players who are looking for a bit of a different experience than what you might find within a sportsbook app.'

From DFS giant to market leader in sports betting

FanDuel began as a daily fantasy sports company, then evolved into sports betting. It quickly dominated the PA sports betting market, accounting for about half of all wagers placed in the state.

FanDuel's December 2019 handle is the all-time high for an operator in PA ($154.5 million). Its $7.7 million January 2020 revenue is also a record for a PA operator.

The coronavirus pandemic has wreaked havoc on all sportsbooks, even FanDuel, although it has maintained its lead.

How To Delete The Betfair Casino App

Sports cancellations at first left few options for wagering, then were replaced by not-so-familiar sports like table tennis and the Korean Baseball Organization. Prior to the cancellations, the FanDuel online casino benefitted from sports bettors crossing over to the iGaming feature.

A different type of casino customer emerges

Betfair Casino Download

Coronavirus caused Pennsylvania's 12 brick-and-mortar casinos to close, and its effects reverberated throughout both retail and online in different ways.

'We've seen a lot more interest in the casino offering,' said Chemtob. 'During this time, where there isn't a lot for people to do from an entertainment perspective, we've seen more interest in casino games at a high level. If you look at the industry as a whole, it is growing pretty rapidly.'

Since the coronavirus pandemic, FanDuel has noticed a different type of customer demographic:

  • New customers are more evenly split by gender: 45% male, 55% female.
  • Eighty-two percent of new casino customers said that slots games were their favorite.

'We were seeing more of a core casino customer relative to what we've seen in New Jersey, where they have less of a table game skew, than we would normally see,' Chemtob said. 'They tend to be more balanced in terms of gender.'

How to use the FanDuel casino app

Betfair Casino App Download

In the new stand-alone casino app for FanDuel:

Betfair Casino Closing

  • New FanDuel casino players can either sign up for an account or use their existing FanDuel Sportsbook account to log in and play.

  • New FanDuel casino players can play their first day on the app risk-free up to $200. FanDuel will refund any losses up to $200 during the first 24 hours of players placing their first casino wager (losses are refunded as casino site credit).
