Betfair casino has now had a facelift and rebrand and no runs under the Stardust Casino app.
Creating a playing account
The Betfair online casino platform is well-designed, which makes it ideal for first-time players to get to grips with. You can create your account within a few minutes by following these simple steps.
- Go to betfaircasino.com to access the Betfair online casino NJ.
- Hit the ‘Join’ button and complete the registration form. Insert the Betfair casino promo code during the sign-up if you have one.
- After creating your account and verifying it, you can play hundreds of games for free in demo mode.
- When you want to play for real money, head to the cashier, choose your preferred payment method, and make a deposit.
Heads up! You must be 21 years or over to open a Betfair online casino account, and you can only play real money games if you are physically located within the state of New Jersey. Player location check software is used to verify this.
Downloading the Betfair NJ casino app
If you’re looking to play on the move, Betfair gives customers the option of using its responsive web-based mobile casino or downloading the native app, which is available for iOS and Android devices.
Downloading the Betfair iPhone casino app
You can get the iPhone app from Betfair Casino once you are logged into your account. Alternatively, go directly to the App Store and manually search for Betfair real gambling apps for iPhone. If you do this, please check that you are downloading the NJ version.
Once the app is installed, you can use the same login details you saved when creating your account. You’re now ready to play.
Downloading the Betfair Casino Android app
As you may be aware, Google is often more restrictive in regards to casino Play Store apps as it doesn’t like to promote real money gambling. Therefore, we advise downloading the Betfair app for Android from the website. All you have to do is log in to your account and click the link provided. You will need to change the settings on your device, but Betfair provides step-by-step instructions to guide you through this process. You may also want to have a look at these other real money Android casino apps.
Unlike some other mobile casinos available, with Betfair, you do need to download the app before you can play any games. They aren’t available to play via your smartphone’s browser. You can sign up before getting the app so you can lock in the promo bonus before downloading the app.
Competition
Players wanting to check out the competition will be pleased to know that there are a plethora of NJ apps for online casinos. These are some of the other leading brands to choose from.
- DraftKings Casino
- Golden Nugget
- Caesars Online Casino
- BetMGM Casino
- Unibet Casino
You would have through being a worldwide iGaming brand that Betfair would really excel with their online casino. Unfortunately, we don’t think this is the case. The game choice is good but we had some issues with the app freezing and crashing. When the games do load, the choice and gameplay is good, but we much prefer the catalog you get with the Golden Nugget mobile casino app. The games available with Golden Nugget are far superior and the bonuses and promos on offer are also a lot better.
Betfair app not working
The Betfair Casino and sportsbook app is widely regarded as one of the best, most stable iGaming platforms. We have over the last few weeks heard of playing having problems with the Betfair app. The is can be anything from the app crashing, to the app running slow, to games not loading on the iPhone app and Android version. If this has happened to you, the first thing to do is make sure you are using the latest version of the app.
The second thing you can do is check you are in a legal state to play (only NJ & PA currently). The majority of Betfair android app problems seem to come from running an older handset or if a player has memory issues on the phone. If you close down a few apps, clear your cache and restart your phone, this can help.
If in the end you are fed up with problems with Betfair’s app, you can always try the BetMGM casino app or the WynnBET Casino app, both of which offer a seamless casino experience.
Banking
Like all of the leading casinos in New Jersey, Betfair makes banking quick and easy. It offers a wide variety of payment methods, including:
- Credit & Debit cards
- Paypal
- PrePaid Card+
- PayNearMe
- Cash at Cage (Golden Nugget, AC)
- Online banking
- Wire transfer
- Check
Betfair is one of several US mobile casinos accepting PayPal. Withdrawals can be made via PayPal, PrePaid card, Cash at Cage, online banking, and check. However, in order to withdraw by PayPal, Prepaid card, or online banking, you need to use this method for your deposit. Payout times vary, with PayPal taking approximately 12 hours and checks taking 7 – 10 business days. Betfair is not a casino accepting Apple Pay, but we hope they add this option in the future.
Games at Betfair Casino
When it comes to top-rated mobile gambling games, fairbet casino (Betfair’s alternative name) has all you need. If your passion is slot games, you can entertain yourself on Gonzo’s Quest, Cleopatra, Anchorman, and Divine Fortune, among many others. Particularly impressive in the iOS and Betfair Android app is the collection of Megaways games, which includes Wheel of Fortune, 88 Fortunes, Twin Spin, and Spartacus, to name a few.
Players who prefer table and card games have a rich selection of virtual and live dealer games to choose from. You can try your luck at blackjack, mobile roulette, three card poker, baccarat, and multiple video poker titles. There is no option (yet) to play mobile poker on the app.
Beftair Casino Welcome bonus
While most new slot apps for NJ casinos have matched deposit welcome offers, Betfair has chosen a different path. Its mobile casino welcome bonus is Up to $200 First Day Risk-Free.
Essentially, all you have to do is sign up, deposit, and start playing. The clock starts ticking when you place your first real-money wager. If you don’t win during the first 24 hours, Betfair will refund your losses up to $200. A slight catch is that the refund is issued as ‘site credit’, which can’t be instantly withdrawn. You must use this on selected games, as well.
A potentially more lucrative bonus is the Betfair Refer-A-Friend offer where you can get $100 for each one of your friends who signs up with your referral code and makes a deposit. There are also Game of the Week promotions that can help to top up your bankroll with some cash prizes.
To claim the offer, go to betfaircasino.com and create your account today. Make your deposit and then claim the welcome bonus.
Bonus code
Currently, players do not need a Betfair Casino bonus code to claim the welcome offer. The refund is automatically credited to your account if you lose cash from your first deposit within 24 of your first wager. We did note that some of the other promotions available from the Betfair casino download app did require players to opt-in. For more information, click the ‘Promotions’ tab on the casino’s home page to see the latest offers.
Where is Betfair Casino legal?
Although it’s possible to download the Betfair casino games apps from anywhere in the United States, that doesn’t mean you can gamble with real money wherever you desire. Betfair Casino – both the desktop version and the mobile platforms – are only available to players within New Jersey’s state lines.
It’s worth noting that FanDuel is Betfair’s sister site (they are both owned by Flutter Entertainment). FanDuel Casino app is available to players in Pennsylvania and Michigan; however, you need to check with customer service if you can use your Betfair NJ log-in details on FanDuel.
Final Words
We were big fans of the Betfair casino NJ when it first launched in the Garden State. The operator was one of the first to go live in the state and had a good head start on the competition but has struggled to keep up with some of the newer mobile casinos to go live. The game choice is good and we do quite like the simplistic design. However, when you compare it to what is on offer from the BetMGM casino app or the DraftKings mobile casino, we would much rather play on one of these.
