Betfair, one of the biggest online gambling operators in the UK, has received New Jersey’s approval to launch its online gambling site for the state according to LegalNJOnlineCasino.com. Accessible at Betfaircasino.com, it gives the state’s blackjack players the opportunity to play not only real money online blackjack, but also slots and table games. The portfolio, which includes 51 slots and table games, is available on Mac computers, PCs, and Android devices.
Since New Jersey’s online gambling laws permit only companies based in the state to offer online gambling services, Betfair has launched its online gambling site in partnership with Trump Plaza Associates LLC.
Betfair already has an excellent reputation in the US because it is associated with TVG, which operates the TVG horse racing TV network. Among the leading providers of licensed and regulated online and mobile horse betting facilities in the US, TVG has around 35 million subscribers. 4NJBets, New Jersey’s only horse betting service, operates on the TVG platform.
The credit of launching the first betting exchange in 1999 goes to Betfair. This betting exchange developed into a full-fledged gambling company in just 10 years, and today, the company not only offers sports betting services, but also poker and casino gaming services in several European countries.

Find what changed in the game
New blackjack products often change a particular part of the familiar game: an extra wager, a different decision, more hands or a new interface. The announcement is useful for identifying that change. It is not a substitute for a complete rules sheet, nor proof that a named product remains available.
- Main game
- Identify the basic format and who or what the player faces.
- Extra feature
- Separate optional bets and paid choices from the ordinary wager.
- Missing detail
- Do not infer an unreported payout, rule or current availability.
Does a new feature automatically make the main game better value?
No. A feature describes a change, not its mathematical value. Start with the full rules and any separate wager or fee; the linked rules and odds guides explain what to compare.
