With a great reputation of a top-grossing casino in New Jersey, Borgata sports app certainly needs no special introduction despite only online sports betting resort opening as the 15 th sportsbook in Atlantic City in May 2019. As such, Borgata online certainly has a lot to prove and it went strongly into the new adventure, catching the eye of the bettors and casino. We are licensed and regulated by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement as an Internet gaming operator in accordance with the Casino Control Act N.J.S.A. 5:12-1 and its implementing regulations.
A familiar name has crossed bridge from New Jersey and arrived in Pennsylvania.
Borgata online casino made its PA launch on Wednesday, Feb. 24 in partnership with Rivers Casino Philadelphia.
BetMGM, the online and retail sportsbook brand of the Borgata, came to PA in Dec. 2020 and partnered with Hollywood Casino Morgantown. However, in the Commonwealth, an iGaming and sportsbook app do not need to share the same land-based operator.
“There are few casino brands as well-respected as Borgata, evident by the success we’ve seen with the Borgata Casino app in New Jersey,” said BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt. “Pennsylvania marks an important milestone for us as we introduce the Borgata Casino brand to the first state outside of New Jersey. We’re confident that players in Pennsylvania will enjoy the digital betting experience of Atlantic City’s premier casino.”

The more staggering increase comes from year-over-year comparisons. Total iGaming revenue in PA skyrocketed 476% from Jan. 2020 to Jan. 2021.
A land-based leader in Atlantic City, Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa has shifted its quest for dominance to online. In NJ, Borgata and its internet partners reported a 168% year-over-year increase from NJ online casino revenue in 2020.
In addition, a $208.2 million online win accounted for 36% of Borgata’s total gaming revenue last year, according to data released by the Division of Gaming Enforcement.
Borgata breaks into the PA iGaming late but comes with name recognition and the most generous welcome bonus to-date.
