Licensed sportsbooks

All 6 sportsbook-category platforms and all 3 DFS/sweeps platforms we cover operate in New Jersey. Sportsbooks are licensed by the state and carry a 21 minimum; DFS and sweepstakes platforms operate under different rules and may admit players at 18.

Prediction markets

Event contracts are regulated federally by the CFTC rather than state by state, so a CFTC-designated exchange can be available where no state sportsbook licence exists. Availability still varies: individual exchanges apply their own geofences, and pending litigation has changed access in several states at short notice.

All 4 prediction markets we cover — Kalshi, Polymarket, ProphetX, OG Markets — are accessible from New Jersey in our coverage as of the verification date above.

Availability changes quickly, especially for prediction markets. Confirm directly with the platform before signing up.
