The rollout will start with a mandatory soft launch as required by the state regulator, and, if all goes well, the platform will launch officially before the start of the football season.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TheScore sportsbook will enter the booming Garden State market <strong>through a Monmouth Park license<\/strong>. Monmouth is also the official licensing partner of Rust Street Interactive-operated SugarHouse Online Sportsbook NJ as well as William Hill NJ.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mobile betting app will run on Bet.Works software.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"operator-says-theyre-ready-to-take-on-nj\">Operator Says They&#8217;re Ready To Take On NJ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The famed media and tech company is aware of the stiff competition in the ever-expanding New Jersey market, but the operator is confident that their existing platform <strong>will play to their advantage<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TheScore <strong>will join 13 other legal online sports betting platforms<\/strong> operating in the state. Some of the existing apps include FanDuel Sportsbook, DraftKings Sportsbook, William Hill NJ, PointsBet, and BetStars NJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The firm launched theScore.com website and app in 2007 to provide sports enthusiasts with current news and scores across popular sports and leagues. Today, the app<strong> boasts a solid fanbase <\/strong>with more than four million active users on its app and about 50 million fans on its social media platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the company&#8217;s Founder and CEO, John Levy, a majority of these users reside in the US, and theScore is <strong>banking on these numbers<\/strong> to succeed in the competitive market.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Levy&#8217;s son and COO of theScore, Benjie Levy, promised that the company&#8217;s offering <strong>will be competitive<\/strong> in terms of both innovation and key sportsbook offering.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two executives have stated that theScore betting app will focus on providing its users with the best experience in sports. Besides the wagering platform, the app <strong>will give bettors live data<\/strong> and all the information they need to place informed wagers, making it a one-stop app for all things sports betting.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"expansion-plans\">Expansion Plans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The firm has said that the Garden State is <strong>just the entry point <\/strong>of their US sports betting venture. After the New Jersey launch, theScore will begin on rolling out online sportsbooks in other regulated jurisdictions across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company signed<strong> a multi-state sports betting partnership deal <\/strong>with Penn National Gaming Inc. in late July. The agreement, which runs for 20 years, opens theScore up to 11 states where Penn National operates casinos and racetracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under the deal, theScore will get first-skin access rights <strong>to launch mobile sportsbooks<\/strong> at Penn National properties in Louisiana and Mississippi. In Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Texas, and Missouri, the company will be entitled to second-skin access rights, and third-skin rights in Maine, Kansas, Michigan, and Massachusetts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In exchange, Penn National will benefit from an upfront market access fee and <strong>an equity stake<\/strong> in theScore.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Toronto-based digital media company, theScore Inc., has announced plans to launch a new sportsbook app for New Jersey bettors in the near future.\u00a0 The New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement has already approved the operator&#8217;s license, and the firm has confirmed that it will begin operations soon.
