The state of New Jersey holds the distinction of being the first state to approve online casinos and online sports betting. One of the state's sports betting operators holds the distinction of being one of the very first operators to offer legalized online sports betting to anyone in the U.S. Surprisingly, that operator is Golden Nugget Sportsbook. What's most amazing is the operator is still offering the same Welcome Offer that they introduced in the beginning. As a reminder, here is a look at some of the original offer's terms and conditions.
The current Golden Nugget Sportsbook Welcome Offer first appeared in May of 2021, with no indication that the offer will end anytime soon. In order to participate in this Welcome Offer, new customers will need to follow these steps: complete the Golden Nugget registration process, opt into the promo with the promo button, and make a qualifying deposit. The minimum first deposit amount required is not stated.
After making their qualifying deposits, new customers will then need to make their first sports wagers. Their initial wagers can be made on any available sports betting market as long as the stated odds are -200 or higher.
Once this wager is made, new customers become eligible to receive a matching bet amount. The matching bet amount has a maximum ceiling of $250. The bonus amount will be issued in the form of a bonus bet that will be awarded within 48 hours of the qualifying bet being recorded. Note: The bonus is awarded whether the qualifying bet wins, loses, or ties.
All bonus recipients will need to use the full bonus amount on a sports bet within 14 days of the date awarded. If this is handled properly, the bonus recipient will get immediate access to any net winnings that are garnered with the bonus bet. If the stated wagering requirements are not fulfilled, then the bonus amounts will expire.
It will be within Golden Nugget's authority to change or terminate this offer at any time for any reason, and without having to give prior notice to the NJ online gambling community.
