In-play betting

All of the top sportsbooks offer live, In-play betting and Hard Rock is no exception. Simply click on the live tab on the Hard Rock Sportsbook and you’ll be greeted with a list of live events that you can bet on in real-time.

Hard Rock’s live betting coverage is fairly extensive and offers players a wide selection of events to bet on including professional major league sporting events as well as college events. Hard Rock’s live coverage also includes international sporting events and leagues such as the English Premier League, La Liga and The Rugby Union.

Rewards Program

Hard Rock also boasts an extensive rewards program to keep bettors coming back for more. Playing at Hard Rock’s online casino or placing sports wagers has the potential to net you points, helping you level up your tier on the rewards program. As you would expect, the higher tier you are, the greater the benefits and rewards you can redeem. Points can be redeemed for a variety of rewards including free spins, free bets and benefits at the land-based Hard Rock venue such as room upgrades and invites to special promotional events.

The Hard Rock app is almost identical to the desktop site. The app retains the minimalist design and color scheme of the site making it incredibly easy to look at. As the screen is smaller, there is significantly less empty white space when scrolling through the betting options making the app look much better than the desktop site. But, each event on the app is so large that a single event takes up almost all space on the screen. As a result of this, punters may find themselves scrolling for a while until they reach the betting option they want. This isn’t detrimental to the betting experience, instead, it’s more of a minor annoyance.

Hard Rock’s navigational aspects fare much better on the app. Just like the site users will find the main nav at the top of the screen with a search feature, “my bets,” and a handful of popular sports with the option to expand the list. Below this is a handful of quick links and at the bottom of the app, users can navigate between the casino, sportsbook, rewards shop and news section. All in all, the app provides users with a much better betting experience than the desktop site.

Reputation 

Hard Rock is one of the most recognizable casino and hospitality brands in the world. With restaurants, hotels, and casinos spread across the nation, Hard Rock is a household name. In terms of gambling, the Hard Rock brand is most known for its massive casino venues. In New Jersey, however, Hard Rock is somewhat of a newcomer. The Hard Rock AC venue opened its doors in June 2018 taking the place of the Trump Taj Mahal and is planning to shake things up in Atlantic City. Despite being a relative newcomer, Hard Rock has been recognized as one of the best gambling companies in North America. In 2018, Hard Rock was named the best land-based operator at the Global Gaming Awards.

When it comes to banking methods with Hard Rock there is a lot to be desired. There are just six different ways users can deposit funds into their Hard Rock accounts and even fewer ways to withdraw funds. Hard Rock is likely to add more banking methods to its list as time goes on, but at the moment this small choice pales in comparison to other New Jersey bookies.

Safety and security 

Hard Rock has implemented a variety of safety and security measures into its online sportsbook. As well as using industry-standard age verification and geolocation technology, Hard Rock allows users to set limits on deposits, withdrawals and play time. Users can also freeze their account, giving them time to cool off or even exclude themselves from the site altogether. Hard Rock also champions responsible gambling across the site with links to responsible gambling resources and a help section outlining the company’s commitment to responsible gambling.
