New Jersey Online Gambling: What You Need To Know

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. – March 14, 2016 – A trip to the casino is always fun, especially when you take all the great dining and entertainment options into account (we bet you’re thinking about Michael Jordan’s Steakhouse at Mohegan Sun right now). But sometimes you just want to enjoy a night in at home. Now that some of the best local casinos are online, you can play and win from the comforts of home on your laptop, or on the go on your smartphone or tablet. It’s up to you to provide the dining options, but your favorite online gambling site has all the top games covered.

Many properties, including Mohegan Sun Casino, offer you the option to play on your PC, Mac, or mobile device, with full support for Android and iOS devices. One account gives you access to all your favorite games and your cash balance, so you can jump online, switch devices at your leisure, and have a blast — wherever you happen to be in New Jersey.

But before you make a deposit at any NJ online gambling site, there are a few things you should know. We’ve got you covered with the most important things to take into account, so read on.

You need to be in New Jersey to play

Under New Jersey law, you need to be located in New Jersey to play at state-regulated online casinos. While you don’t need to necessarily live in the Garden State, you need to be in New Jersey before doubling down at the Blackjack tables or spinning your way to big jackpots at the slots. That means if you’re from Pennsylvania and you’re visiting New Jersey, you can play real money online casino games. But if you live in New Jersey and you’re visiting New York for the day, you’ll have to wait until you get back to NJ to play for real money.

But Mohegan Sun Casino is in Connecticut… 

That’s true. But many of our guests who frequent Mohegan Sun in Connecticut call New Jersey home. MoheganSunCasino.com offers those players the chance to enjoy the best Mohegan has to offer — wherever in New Jersey they happen to be. 

Find a New Jersey online casino you can trust

There are lots of Internet casinos that look slick, offer great promotions, and promise you the world. But only those authorized by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement are approved to serve players in New Jersey. It’s easy to find an online casino you can trust. Just look for the DGE symbol on the casino’s homepage and you’ll know if it’s the real deal.  

Play for real or for free

Most online casinos in New Jersey encourage you to make a deposit. After all, playing for real money is usually the only way to hit the jackpot. But you don’t have to ante up for real. At MoheganSunCasino.com, for example, your account gives you access to free games. That means you can test the waters before you commit to play for real. It’s a great option if you’re trying out a new game or if you want to get the hang of playing online for the first time.
