BetAmerica Casino And Welcome Bonus Details

BetAmerica is an online casino and sportsbook that is available to players in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The casino however, is only available in NJ & PA. Partnering with big names such as Golden Nugget and Presque Isle Casino, let's see what this online casino has to offer.

BetAmerica Casino Welcome Bonus

The welcome bonus at BetAmerica is a major selling point, especially for players in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

By using the promo code “PLAY500”, players in NJ & PA will get a 25 percent deposit bonus up to $500. Now, for this kind of monetary bonus, casinos usually deploy an unreasonably high playthrough amount of 40x or more. However, BetAmerica does not and rather requires a reasonable 10x playthrough.

What this means is that players must “play through” the amount of the initial deposit and the impending bonus, multiplied by 10.

So, if a player deposits $2000, they will get the full $500. In order to access the bonus funds, the players must wager $25,000 with BetAmerica.

App and Site Experience

BetAmerica is available on every possible platform: Desktop, mobile web browsers and apps for both Android and iOS devices.

Fortunately, going from online, to mobile, to mobile app is seamless as the overall layout of everything essentially mirrors the other, minus the obvious scaling to fit the different platforms. However, again, nothing is in a totally different area from one platform to the other, which allows for a cohesive experience with BetAmerica.

With that, the design is fairly standard for online casinos—links to the casino and other main products at the top as well as the promotions page, the game type in a row to follow, with a search option nearby. Below this, the games are listed in the same order, with clickable graphics. Of course, you can click individual game types or use filters for popularity, alphabetical order and even by developer if you choose.

This is an easy online casino to traverse and it is borderline impossible to get lost exploring.

Registering on the site could be enhanced. Right now, like other PA and NJ online casinos, BetAmerica has a three-step process and each step is not accessible unless the prior one is complete. Also, on the first step, BetAmerica asks for the last four digits of the user's social security number. Personally, this is a bit of a deterrent, especially if trying to attract new customers. Sure, those in the Atlantic City community may know what they are getting into, but when BetAmerica branches out, there will be plenty of people who have never gambled online.

An alternative to this would be to have everything required on one page, to show users all the information needed to be submitted prior to signing up.

Game Range at BetAmerica Casino

With hundreds of games to choose from, here are the games types offered. You will see that the PA game selection is somewhat limited compared to the NJ branche. However, this is likely to do with the fact that BetAmerica Casino has only recently been launched in Pennsylvania. We expect more games to be added soon.

• Slot games, including Starburst, Jimi Hendrix & Gonzo's Quest
• Table games, including Baccarat, Roulette, Blackjack & Hold'em
• Jackpot slots, including Divine Fortune
• High limit games (NJ only)
• Steppers (NJ only)
• Live dealer games (NJ only)

To be able to offer this kind of library of games, BetAmerica brought on numerous reputable game developers, including NetEnt, Konami, Everi, Ezugi, IGT and SNFT-Bally.

Support And Banking at BetAmerica Casino

Customer support at BetAmerica is on par with other online casinos, minus a non-24/7 phone option.

In addition to a FAQ section which will answer most questions, there is the phone service, which is available from 9am - 11pm, live chat and 24/7 email support. The live chat can easily be accessed by the speech bubble icon in the lower right-hand corner of the home page. By clicking on it, you are instantly brought to a live chat session.

BetAmerica has many options available when it comes to funding your account. While methods may differ per state, you can expect to be able to use traditional methods, such as debit/credit cards and online bank transfers to add credit or take out your winnings. BetAmerica also accepts popular e-wallets, such as PayPal and Skrill, in addition to up and coming methods, such as PayNearMe and Play+ cards.

Deposits are processed instantly. The minimum you can deposit is $10. As for withdrawals, limits and processing times may vary depending on the method used. If you want your money fast, we would recommend using an e-wallet or Play+ card to take out your winnings.

Our Verdict of BetAmerica Casino

If BetAmerica added not only just some promotions in general, but made them somewhat lucrative as well, it would be hard to argue against BetAmerica as a top-tier online casino in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

BetAmerica has everything you’d want in an online casino: quality games, a respectable welcome bonus, great customer service and ease of use.

Other legal Online casinos in NJ include: Party Casino NJ, 888 Casino NJ, Golden Nugget Casino

The BetAmerica Sportsbook currently has not one but two welcome bonuses for their new NJ players:

BetAmerica Sports Review

We checked out BetAmerica Sports to see what the online sportsbook has to offer. This in-depth review includes our take on what it was like to use the site and what features we thought were the sports betting site’s best.

This sportsbook is the latest betting platform from BetAmerica. They have been a leader in horse race betting since launching in 2008. Their site accepts bets placed on horse and greyhound races from customers in various states.

However, BetAmerica Sports can only be used to place bets by users who are physically located in Indiana, New Jersey or Pennsylvania. Offering a large selection of sports to bet on, this sportsbook is a quality option for people to gamble on sports.

Launching in 2018, BetAmerica Sports is the company’s first entry into real sports wagering. Simple to use, the site has a neat design that features a user-friendly interface that makes for easy navigation.

BetAmerica Racebook Review

With BetAmerica, watch and bet on horses or greyhounds racing live at tracks located throughout the US and overseas. Connected to tracks around the world, this racebook brings you thousands of races to bet on. BetAmerica also provides live streaming of nearly every race for which wagering is offered.

BetAmerica offers various types of racing and ways to wager. Bet on thoroughbreds, harness track, quarter horse and greyhounds. From win, place or show to the exotic bets and even handicapping, this horse betting platform has all the basic bets covered.

BetAmerica also offers free video streaming of live races and race replays from the desktop site or the iPhone app. Only verified accounts can access live video streaming and race replays. BetAmerica also places some limits on how much live video you can watch.

Although some locations are restricted, BetAmerica is available to US residents located in most states. No other betting platform equals the reach of this racebook. This is probably the most impressive thing about BetAmerica.

Sports Betting Markets at BetAmerica

BetAmerica Sports offers a broad selection of sports betting markets to online gamblers in states where sports betting is legal, such as Indiana, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Place straight moneyline, parlay or teaser bets on huge US sports like the NFL, NBA, NCAA basketball, the MLB and more.

The sports betting markets available cover nearly every major sport and some others that are way more popular with sports bettors overseas. Bet on cycling, cricket, rugby, and Australian football.

As mentioned before, the BetAmerica Racebook offers over 5000 horse racing and greyhound races to bet on every week for players located in most U.S. states outside of New Jersey.

BetAmerica Mobile App

There is no BetAmerica Sports app or mobile site. The only mobile sports betting that this sportsbook provides is through its mobile app for betting on horse races.

One of the least appealing parts of BetAmerica Sports is the absolute lack of a sportsbook betting app or any mobile site at all. It’s disappointing because they already offer a quality betting app for horse racing. This is a big miss for this sports betting provider.

The horse betting platform operates seamlessly from its mobile app. Although currently, the BetAmerica app is only available for iOS devices. Android users are victim to Google’s strict policies against mobile gambling apps. There are no online gambling apps featured at the Google Play store. Many online betting providers do offer an Android app despite this but do so through the desktop site. BetAmerica is not one of those.

Luckily for Android users, they can still access the BetAmerica Racebook from mobile browsers. The mobile version of the site has been fully optimized to offer the platform with as little hiccups as possible. Some might say the mobile platform is more user-friendly than the desktop version. Experience the full platform from your mobile device even though you can’t download it.

Payment & Banking

• Play+
• PayNearMe
• MasterCard
• VISA
• NETELLER
• Skrill
• PayPal
• ACH/e-check

You can use the banking options listed above to add funds to your BetAmerica account. With several payment options available and multiple ways to withdraw winnings, this online sportsbook makes banking easy.

Please beware that some U.S. banks block debit/credit card transactions to online gambling operators. Therefore, we recommend methods like Play+, PayNearMe and ACH for your convenience.

Customers of the BetAmerica Racebook can use similar methods to fund their account. Payment methods available may differ per state.

Our Verdict

There’s no doubt about it, this is a unique betting provider. With a well-designed platform, BetAmerica brings legal, safe and secure sports betting to players in Indiana, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The same applies for greyhound and horse betting for US residents located in much of the US.

The sportsbook covers nearly all major sports, while the premier racebook lets you watch and bet on nearly all of the horse and greyhound races you have your eyes on. The live streaming could use a little tightening up but overall is a great feature, especially since it is accessible from both desktop and mobile.
