In a move that will shake up the online gaming sector in New Jersey, state residents can now play Evolution’s Live Dealer Games after the company announced its integration into the Bet365 platform.
Evolution’s February launch means players in the state can enjoy a number of their trailblazing casino games which include leading titles such as Lightning Roulette, Crazy Time, and Dream Catcher, in addition to its extensive range of Blackjack variations like Infinite Blackjack and Speed Blackjack.
In what industry insiders describe as a significant step forward for both firms, Marcus Huber, Chief Commercial Officer at Evolution North America claimed: “Bet365’s launch of Evolution’s live dealer games in New Jersey is significant and a monumental achievement for both companies.”
The partnership announcement will not have gone unnoticed, as competition heats up amongst other live dealer casino games providers including Caesars Palace, DraftKings, and BetMGM which are already established in New Jersey.
Bet365, who already have a vested interest in Pennsylvania as well as in Canada, Latin America, and Europe, is now also able to capitalize on New Jersey’s extensive online gaming player base.
A spokesperson for bet365 explained, “We are proud to partner with Evolution, a long-time leader in live dealer games and game shows. Our casino customers in New Jersey will undoubtedly enjoy Evolution’s vast portfolio as we continue our commitment to creating the best player experience.”
New Jersey Leads the Way – Other States Will Follow
New Jersey generates some of the highest casino game revenues in the United States. As one of the earliest adopters of legal online gambling, New Jersey has built on its success and has become a strategic model for other states hoping to deregulate the industry.
Bet365’s partnership with Evolution comes at a time when the US online gaming market is rapidly accelerating. Some lawmakers in states such as Florida, Maryland, and Illinois are all actively pursuing iGaming legislation in 2025 – and the associated tax revenues it generates.
As the iGaming sectors continue to evolve, the ever-increasing availability of live dealer online casino games will likely expand. Operators are already lining up to gain access to lucrative untapped player markets such as California and Texas which are yet to open their doors to legalized gambling.
