All Borgata offers and terms: Borgata NJ bonus code page.
New customers deposit at least $20 and place a $20 pregame moneyline bet. Borgata credits $100 in bonus bets, as two $50 bonus bets, whether that bet wins or loses. The bonus bets usually arrive within 24 hours and expire seven days after they’re credited.
Bonus bets return winnings only. At typical conversion rates of 60% to 75%, $100 in bonus bets is worth about $60 to $75 in cash. That’s a good return on a $20 bet that can also win on its own.
Don’t use Cash Out or Edit My Bet on the qualifying bet, or you lose the offer.

BetMGM-powered odds and markets, from US leagues to cricket
Borgata Sportsbook launched on May 14, 2019, as New Jersey’s 14th online sportsbook. It covers the major US leagues plus international sports such as rugby, golf, boxing, cricket and tennis.
It runs on the same Entain platform as BetMGM, so you’ll find similar NFL props and same-game parlays. Giants, Jets, Devils and Nets games get full menus. New Jersey law bans bets on Rutgers and other NJ college teams, and on any college game played in the state.
In-game betting, live props and Cash Out
Borgata offers live in-game betting on major sports, including in-play props.
Cash Out is available on eligible bets once your welcome offer is settled.
One login for sportsbook, casino and poker in the Borgata app
The Borgata app combines sportsbook, casino and poker in one login. Existing Borgata casino and poker players can use their current credentials.
Geolocation checks run before every bet. The app works only in New Jersey.

Borgata Sportsbook is rated 4.7 out of 5 from 2,529 ratings on the App Store. Screenshots from the official iPhone app:
Parlay boosts and poker crossovers for existing customers
Ongoing sportsbook promos are lighter than at BetMGM. Expect odds boosts, mostly on parlays, and occasional cross-product offers, such as poker tournament promotions that award sports bonus bets.
PayPal, Venmo or cash at the cage: how Borgata deposits and payouts work
Deposits by card, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay, online banking and Play+ usually process within 30 minutes. Cash deposits at the Borgata cage are instant.
PayPal, Venmo and Play+ withdrawals take up to 24 hours. Online banking typically arrives about 15 minutes after approval, and checks 7 to 21 business days. Cage withdrawals take about 10 to 12 hours.
In person at the Borgata, home of Atlantic City’s first legal sports bet
The Borgata took Atlantic City’s first legal sports bet on June 14, 2018, when Julius “Dr. J” Erving bet at its Race & Sports Book. In June 2019 it opened the BetMGM Sportsbook & Bar, an 8,000-square-foot venue with a 40-foot LED video wall, across from the original book.
Is Borgata Sportsbook safe? DGE licensing and account tools
Borgata Sportsbook operates under Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa’s sports wagering license and is regulated by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. You must be 21 and physically in New Jersey.
Account tools include deposit limits, spending caps, session reminders and self-exclusion. Support runs 24/7 by live chat, plus email and phone.
Borgata Sportsbook vs. BetMGM and FanDuel
BetMGM runs on the same platform with more promos, but its NJ welcome offer pays only if your first bet wins. FanDuel offers more bonus bets and a stronger app.
