Golden Nugget Casino

About Golden Nugget Casino

Golden Nugget Casino officially became the 13th bookmaker to open its metaphorical doors to New Jersey punters. While most casinos initially struggle with navigating the sports betting industry, Golden Nugget seemingly hit the note with their excellent offer.

As the NJ market is becoming increasingly overcrowded, this bookmaker is projected to be a prime candidate for dethroning the FanDuel-DraftKings duopoly. In this review, we’ll seek to present the exact reasons why this bookmaker has such a devoted customer base. Overall informativeness seems to be the key factor.

Frankly, Golden Nugget’s website design is reminiscent of semi-legal casino pages from the late 2000s. This comes as no surprise, given the fact that Golden Nugget has been a mainstay in the iGaming world for some time now. While the layout itself needs a lot of work, we appreciate the fact that they’ve developed their own distinct style. The black background is perfect for professional bettors who like to spend extensive amounts of time prepping their slips.

At first glance, there is a lot going on, but there is no sense of disorganization whatsoever. The homepage as a whole is very informative and completely eliminates the need for wasting time just to learn some basic information. It’s not easy to maintain an informative website without requiring players to do some digging. This is probably the least amount of effort we’ve ever invested in learning about a bookmaker, making Golden Nugget an ideal choice for beginners.

While the Android app needs some work, its iOS counterpart is a true thaumaturge in creating a smooth user experience. The entire interface makes great use of all the perks of your touchscreen, without any apparent glitches.

VISA, MasterCard, PayPal and PayNearMe headline a who’s who of popular and reliable payment options. Pending times are reasonable and customer support is quick to answer any issues, regardless of the nature of the problem. Agents are well-versed in their line of work, whether it’s live chat, email or phone support we’re talking about. We love the fact that they’ve created separate hotlines for the casino and sportsbook sections, greatly reducing response times. Impressive.

The overall betting margin is 5.5%. These betting margins have been calculated using odds from different events in each sport. Please note that margins may be different from a sport to another, and even from a league to other.

Betting Features

14 sports is an offer that pales in comparison to some European sportsbooks, so don’t expect to get blown away by any niche markets. We expected Golden Nugget to make up for this lack of variety with depth, but an average of 20-25 markets per sporting event is nothing special. In a vacuum, this is certainly underwhelming, but the overall user experience lets you disregard the other drawbacks. All the American essentials are there, though.

Security and Fairness

Golden Nugget proudly flaunts its license from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement, along with the fact that they were the Operator of the year at the EGR North America Awards three years in a row. For a relative newbie in the world of sports betting, Golden Nugget is very transparent. However, we would like to find out more about which technology is being used to protect customer data against cyber attacks.
