Promotions

App Review

The 888Sports NJ mobile sports betting app almost mirrors the desktop website, which means you’ll get the same experience no matter the device you choose. The 888Sport app features the same sports, markets and promotional offers as the website, with a flyout list displaying all of your sports betting options.

Just like the desktop website, the mobile app is clutter-free and easy to navigate. One area in which the 888Sport app excels is in its placement of ads. Unlike the website, the app features small banner ads that don’t distract from the betting markets.

You can download the 888Sports app via the 888 website or the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Mobile sports bettors can also bet using the 888Sports NJ mobile web app, which is almost identical to the native app.

Unfortunately, the 888Sport mobile app only allows users to view a limited number of betting options from the homepage at one time, though the expandable menu means this issue isn’t detrimental to the overall betting experience.

Reputation

As a product of 888 Holdings, a gambling heavyweight in many regulated markets overseas, 888Sport has a pretty good reputation. Over the years, the company has received multiple awards, as well as acclaim from authorities within the gambling industry for its approach to responsible practices for online gambling. 888 has a proven track record of excellence in sports betting and is already well established in New Jersey with its 888Casino and 888Poker offerings.
