Hard Rock casino and Bet365 form partnership to be N.J.’s 5th sports-betting site

Hard Rock has signed a partnership with Bet365 to offer sports betting at its new casino on the Atlantic City Boardwalk as soon as it receives approval from New Jersey gaming regulators.

Neither company has announced the deal, but its existence was revealed in correspondence from the state Division of Gaming Enforcement, first reported by PlayNJ.

Since New Jersey won a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in May legalizing sports betting, three entities now offer sports wagering: The Borgata and Ocean Resort casinos in Atlantic City, and Monmouth Park racetrack in Oceanport.

The Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford will launch sports betting Saturday at its track about 6 miles from Manhattan. Hard Rock would be the fifth.
