SugarHouse Online Sportsbook New Jersey was the third online sportsbook to launch in the state of New Jersey in August 2018 as a result of a partnership between their parent company Rush Street Interactive and the Golden Nugget Casino in Atlantic City. Shortly after launching, the sportsbook ended its partnership with the Golden Nugget since their license
did not allow them to accept wagers on any NBA games. This license restriction was due to the fact that the Golden Nugget’s owner Tilman Fertitta is also an owner of the Houston Rockets. The sportsbook then started a new partnership with Monmouth Park while the casino portion of the SugarHouse operation stayed partnered with the Golden Nugget.
Making wagers on SugarHouse is not risky at all since they are a fully legal online sportsbook for those who are located within the state lines of New Jersey and they are regulated by the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. It is safe to say that your winning bets will always be paid and your withdrawals will always arrive in your bank account so the only thing you have to worry about is whether or not this is the right site for you.

Banking Options
SugarHouse Online Sportsbook New Jersey offers eight different deposit options and five different withdrawal options. What sets them apart from other online sportsbooks in the New Jersey area is that they offer three different options that allow you to deposit using cash from your wallet. The minimum deposit amount for all of the banking options listed below is set at $10.
Credit and Debit Cards: The plastic cards that are accepted at SugarHouse Online Sportsbook New Jersey include Visa Card, MasterCard, and Discover Card. These are the most popular deposit methods but they may come with a fee attached depending on which bank you use. If your bank does not allow deposits to online sportsbooks then you can use your card to load money onto a SugarHouse Play+ Prepaid card and use that card instead.
SugarHouse Play+ Prepaid Cards: These personalized prepaid cards are paired with your Sugarhouse Online Sportsbook account so that you can deposit or withdraw funds. The maximum deposit limit is set at $2,000 and the maximum withdrawal limit is set at $25,000.
Any withdrawals using these prepaid cards will be processed in under 24 hours. You can also use these Play+ cards to get cash instantly at any PULSE or NYCE ATM but each ATM transaction will charge a $2.00 fee on top of the usual ATM fees. You must use your card to perform a transaction at least once every six months or else you will be charged a $2.95 inactivity fee.
ACH (E-Check): This electronic banking method can be used to deposit or withdraw funds and there are no fees attached for either transaction type. All withdrawals have a $25,000 maximum limit and will be completed in 3-5 business days after your request. To complete a transaction using this method you will need to enter your routing number, account number, and driver license number.
Online Bank Transfer: As long as you have an account at one of the hundreds of banks that are supported by Online Bank Transfers you will be able to order both deposits and withdrawals using this electronic banking option. Some of the supported banks include Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and CitiBank. There is not much of a difference between an Online Bank Transfer and an ACH E-Check.
PayPal: This e-wallet can facilitate both deposits and withdrawals for your SugarHouse Online Sportsbook account. All withdrawals will be processed in under 24 hours but before you are eligible to make a withdrawal using PayPal you will need to make a deposit using their services.
PayNearMe/VanillaDirect: Both of these banking options allow you to deposit money using cash from your wallet. The maximum deposit limit for both methods is set at $500 and both options have a payment counter at most 7-11 or CVS stores. When you travel to the participating location you will need to bring your photo ID as well as your transaction’s payslip or bar code which you will receive after starting the deposit online.
Cash at Casino Cage: The cashier cage at the Golden Nugget Casino in Atlantic City can be used to make both deposits and withdrawals using cash. Withdrawal requests are generally processed in 24 hours while deposits can be done instantly once you arrive on site. This is the only banking option that is not electronic but allows you to complete withdrawals from your account.
