New Jersey gambling regulators had approved the site to go live Thursday morning and the company said it was taking sports wagers as of 6 a.m.
The SugarHouse Online Sportsbook & Casino is the first online sports betting site operated under the aegis of the Golden Nugget Atlantic City, which has an online and fully licensed affiliation with Philadelphia’s SugarHouse Casino. The site is operated by Rush Street Interactive (RSI), the SugarHouse parent company. RSI is also partnered with the Malta-headquartered sports betting supplier Kambi, which previously helped launch the DraftKings Sportsbook, which on Aug. 6 was the first online sportsbook to go live in New Jersey.

In June, RSI began operating a regulated online and mobile sportsbook in Colombia. On Aug.16th, Rush Street announced it would now offer what it calls a “live dealer casino” to online customers wishing to play “21,” roulette and Baccarat, in addition to live poker games called Three Card Poker and Ultimate Texas Hold’em Poker, which are launching for the first time in the U.S. online gaming market, according to the company.
“Being the first U.S.-based gaming operator to launch a regulated online sportsbook outside of the U.S. has been helpful in establishing the SugarHouse Online Sportsbook & Casino,” said Schwartz.
Unifying player s, wallets and bonus points will allow customers to rotate between sports betting and online casino gambling, the company said.
Sports betting is now available in New Jersey at six Atlantic City casinos and two horse-racing tracks, The Meadowlands near New York City and Monmouth Park in Oceanport, part of the state’s New Jersey shore vacation region.
