Every gambling fan is aware of the status that PointsBet holds in the betting industry in New Jersey. As one of the betting operators that set up operations immediately after the state government legalized betting, PointsBet continues to command a significant market share.
In an announcement which the brand officials made last week, gaming enthusiasts will now be able to engage in live gaming on their regular play platforms. Whether you bet through your PointsBet Online Casino app on your smartphone or prefer to log in on your desktop, live gaming is accessible to you. This definitely removes the hustle of downloading for those who would rather keep their gaming history on a cloud.
The news comes at a time when the industry is warming up to live gaming. Much of this demand springs from the fact that many people are now used to gambling online as they had adjusted to over the pandemic period. By partnering with Evolution Gaming, PointsBet is now able to offer its players quality gaming experience.
While the concept of live gaming is not entirely new, most players previously believed that it was confined to certain casino games only. Evolution is a renowned force when it comes to creation of live gaming products – their products are not only original but also customized to the specific needs of the customer.
The live dealers are situated in New Jersey so they are people who understand the culture and norms of the residents. No wonder players are describing the new live gaming feature by Evolution Gaming as realistic and personalized.
Coupled with insider knowledge of New Jersey, the dealers are also professional. This is by far the best combination of support that a real time table dealer must possess to get the most out of the experience.
According to PointsBet’s Vice President of Online Casino Revenue, Aaron O’Sullivan, the introduction of live gaming in NJ is an indication that the relationship between Evolution and PointsBet is deep. The public should look out to more surprises from the duo because live gaming is definitely not the end.
O’Sullivan is confident that his company is on the road to granting their customers a thrilling casino experience that players will love to be associated with. In the meantime, the brand has its doors open to feedback and comments made by the customers who have already interacted with their platform. By giving the customer what they demand and desire, PointsBet is paving a path where brands offer solutions as opposed to beating the competition.

PointsBet gains in live gaming
Did you know that PointsBet has launched its iGaming platform in only one other state in the US apart from New Jersey? It does appear that the uptake of the product around the country of slow but that is bound to end if NJ performs well as per their next financial reports. As a sports betting operator in New Jersey starting from January 2019, PointsBet is keen on being a pacesetter in the Garden State.
The US gambling market is largely untapped and only keen operators will be able to identify opportunities to invest. While the President of Product and Technology at PointsBet, Manjit Gombra Singh, agrees that there are immense challenges associated with breaking into a new market, he is proud that the brand has managed to outdo the competition on many fronts.
PointsBet offers proprietary technology that customers find appealing because it lacks a match in the market. Gombra believes that the development team at PointsBet is capable of catering to the customers’ needs across multiple markets.
Getting into the New Jersey betting market was not easy for PointsBet because the brand required the support of another established operator. In this case, the partner that held the PointsBet team to Garden State business is Bally’s Corporation and Bally’s Atlantic City Hotel & Casino. Partnerships of this nature are common in the gambling circles as companies seek to reap the benefits of a market without having to apply for own approvals.
Final Thoughts
Apart from New Jersey, PointsBet has a successful sports betting operation in Illinois, Virginia, Colorado, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, and West Virginia, with an online casino platform for Michigan. This is positive data with which we can predict the future nature of scaling that the brand will undergo. To take the NJ live gaming product to full scale operation, PointsBet plans to launch branded tables around the state before the end of January. The performance of the segments after these efforts will influence when and how large the statewide expansion is going to be.
