Borgata Online Casino Bonus Code

Borgata Casino promotions

First-time deposit bonus at Borgata’s online casino

What you get

• $20 free, subject to a 1x wagering requirement.
• A 100% match bonus, up to $100. In order to unlock, players must wager $10 per bonus dollar.

The lowdown

Despite its low cap and bevy of caveats (more on that later), the Borgata’s first-time deposit bonus is among New Jersey’s most attractive, if only because it’s one of the few that’s actually attainable.

In order to unlock the no-deposit bonus, players will be required to wager the amount of the bonus, and nothing more. It’s a break-even proposition, at worst. Compare this to other casinos, which generally offer higher caps but structure their welcome bonus so that most players will never be able to withdraw an added dime.

Additionally, the $20 “no deposit” bonus is among the largest free bonuses offered by any site. Please use Borgata’s bonus code PLAYNJ when signing up.

As for the caveats, players will only have 14 days from the time they open an account to take advantage of both promotions, followed by another 14 days to complete the wagering requirements.

Furthermore, only play on slots, classic slots and progressive slots will be counted towards the wagering requirement of the $20 bonus. This stipulation diminishes the value of the bonus slightly, as slots generally possess lower payout rates than table games or video poker, but it’s hardly a game breaker.

Borgata Casino VIP rewards program

What you get

• Players earn rewards points (iRPs) for wagering on slots, table games, and video poker.
• Points can be redeemed for cash, bonuses, comp dollars at the Borgata’s brick and mortar hotel in Atlantic City and a host of clothing, electronics, and luxury items.

The lowdown

Borgata’s online VIP scheme in entitled iRewards, and is a multi-tiered program where active players can achieve higher rewards levels. In order to increase their loyalty level, players must meet monthly and quarterly point thresholds.

Listed below are the five different tiers of the iRewards Programs, along with information pertaining to each:

• Red Label: 0 points, baseline loyalty tier
• Red Label Plus: 150 iRP’s per month
• Silver Label: 650 iRP’s per month
• Black Label: 2,500 iRP’s per month
• Black Label Elite: 15,000 iRP’s per quarter

Players earn 1 iRP by wagering the following amounts on their favorite games:

• Slots: $10
• Progressives: $20
• Roulette: $25
• Baccarat: $25
• Video poker: $75
• BlackJack: $75
• Craps: $75
• Other: $10

Achieving Black Label Elite is accomplished by wagering $150,000 on slots or up to $1.125 mm on other games, in one quarter. While that may seem like a lofty figure, regular depositors will find it somewhat attainable.

With regards to perks, players that obtain higher loyalty ranks will be able to exchange their iRPs at more favorable rates.

Here is a glance at cashback conversion rates* for each tier in the iRewards program:

Red Label conversions:

• Casino bonus = .06%**

*Projections based on slot play. Table game and video poker rates will be lower.

Compared to other online casino VIP programs in New Jersey, the Borgata ranks above average in value and near the top with regards to redemption options.

Borgata online casino platform

Since launching in November 2013, New Jersey’s premier online gaming partnership has become a mainstay atop the industry revenue charts, posting a more than $45 mm win in 2015, nearly $33 million of which was from casino gaming.

Borgata Casino software

Borgata utilizes the same casino platform as its network partner PartyPoker NJ.

• Downloadable client: The Borgata’s entire online casino suite is available for direct download from the casino’s main page (Windows only). Alternatively, both Windows and Mac users can access most casino games from the Borgata’s downloadable poker client.
• Browser-based client: BorgataCasino.com is also accessible via most updated browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Apple Safari.
• Mobile app: A limited version of Borgata’s online casino is available for Android and iOS (version 6.0 and later) powered devices. At present, the mobile app grants access to 20 of the casino’s slot machines, video poker terminals, and table games, and permits users access to registration, profile and basic cashiering functions.

Borgata online casino mobile app

The Borgata’s online casino mobile app is, at best, a watered down version of its flagship product.

Out of the 85+ games available from the desktop client, only 20 have made their way to mobile devices. Mainstays such as blackjack, roulette, and video poker are present in the game lobby, as is at least one jackpot slot terminal, but overall, the selection is lacking.

On a more positive note, I had little trouble maintaining a stable connection via both WiFi and 4G functionality. However, minor hangups, slow initializing times and frustrating UIs make for a less-than-fluid gaming experiencing.

Players can access the cashier from both the main lobby and via the game interface. But for whatever reason, the Borgata neglected to implement features that allow players to view their rewards points or redeem their points from mobile devices. Strange.

Given this, it’s difficult to wholeheartedly recommend the Borgata’s mobile offering, although, for those hunkering for action and not within proximity of a desktop or laptop, I suppose it will do.

The Borgata online casino mobile app is available for Android and iOS-powered devices. Read more about NJ online casino mobile apps.

Network partners

The Borgata wasted little time securing an Internet gaming partner.

Mere months after Gov. Christie inked a bill that legalized online gambling in New Jersey, Atlantic City’s premier destination casino/resort aligned with PartyPoker NJ to introduce regulated iGaming to the Garden State. For Party, the partnership marked a return to U.S. soil following a seven-year absence in the wake of the UIGEA.

In early-October 2013, news broke that the Borgata was the first casino to receive an Internet gaming permit from the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement.

Six weeks later, on November 21, 2013, BorgataCasino.com opened its virtual doors to the New Jersey masses. After a successful five-day trial run, it officially became part of the first wave of legal online casinos in New Jersey.

What games are available at BorgataCasino.com?

The BorgataCasino.com lobby is comprised of 74 virtual slot terminals (including seven progressive jackpot slots), 11 table games, and four video poker terminals.

Slot junkies will appreciate the casino’s vast collection of network exclusive virtual terminals. The site’s table game selection is not nearly as diverse, limited to roulette, craps, Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker and several variations of blackjack.

Blackjack at Borgata

Borgata offers eight different blackjack games. There is some overlap between the games.

For example, there are two micro limit games with the same rules. One is $.10, while the other is $.25. These micro limit blackjack games pay 6-5 on a natural unless it is suited, then it pays 2-1.

Players may double on any two cards and after splitting. A five+ card 21 pays 2-1, while 777 pays 3-1. Split aces may be hit in these micro limit blackjack games.

Multihand Blackjack offers five betting circles. Players may double any two cards and after splitting. The dealer hits soft 17.

There is also a Pro version with higher limits. A single player version offers the same rules. Vegas Blackjack stays on all 17’s with the same rules.

Single Deck Blackjack pays 3-2 on blackjack but only allows double down on 9, 10, and 11. The dealer hits soft 17. Sidebet Blackjack offers five separate side betting options for those hoping to hit a blackjack jackpot.

Borgata online roulette

Borgata offers two roulette games:

1. One is American Roulette with two zeros. Do not play this game as its house edge is excessive.
2. Play European Roulette with just one zero. It is even properly called European Roulette as it returns half of an even money wager if zero hits. This is called la partage.

Video poker options at Borgata

These are the video poker games available at Borgata Casino:

• Bonus Poker
• Double Bonus Poker
• Double Double Bonus Poker
• Jacks or Better
• Deuces Wild
• Deuces Wild Elite
• Regal Poker
• Double Regal Poker
• Double Double Regal Poker
• Five-play Poker
• Jester Poker

All Game King versions are distributed by IGT. Regal games are powered by Amaya Gaming.

Craps and Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker are the only two table games not related to blackjack or roulette at Borgata.

Slots at BorgataCasino.com

Borgata offers more than 1000 slot titles. Many are the same ones that you will find on its Atlantic City casino floor.

BorgataCasino.com – cashiering

The Borgata’s online casino features one of the most diversified cashiers in the US regulated gaming market.

Deposit methods:

• Instant e-checks (ACH)
• Online banking transfers
• Visa / MasterCard
• Borgata prepaid card
• Neteller
• 7-Eleven Pay Near Me
• Skrill
• Cash at the Borgata casino cage

Instant e-checks and online banking transfers are the most reliable and affordable means of funding an account, but for those experiencing high rejection rates or who do not possess a checking account, Neteller, Skrill, and other available third-party payment processors are viable alternatives.

Visa and MasterCard are also options, although at the present time credit card transaction acceptance rates are mediocre. This is likely to change as new MCC codes are introduced.

As far as withdrawal options, players may procure their funds via ACH, the Borgata prepaid card, Neteller, Skrill, cash at the cage or a check by mail.

Although players are free to choose their withdrawal option, the Borgata exercises the right to pay out funds, up to the amount of the player deposit, to credit/debit cards or virtual payment accounts first.

Borgata Casino customer service department

Borgata’s customer service team can be contacted via email and phone.

General email inquiries are typically responded to within one business day and are ripe with useful information and links.

The most difficult questions are best left to the team’s phone reps. That’s not to say they’re necessarily equipped to answer all player inquiries, but they’ll at least listen attentively, and if they can’t answer a question, they’ll generally direct you to someone who can.

Borgata’s customer service team is not located in New Jersey.
