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 review

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 Governor 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.

Other non-slot games at Borgata online

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

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

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 welcome 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 FREECASH when signing up.

As for the caveats, players will only have 14 days from the time they open an account to fulfill the wagering requirements.

Furthermore, only play on slots, classic slots and progressive slots will be counted towards the wagering requirement. 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
• 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%**
• Cash = .05%
• Borgata comp = .5%
• $100 buy-in tournament entry = .33%

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.

Other recurrent promotions

• Experience Borgata: Every Thursday, BorgataCasino.com gives away one prize package consisting of dinner for two, a free room at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa and two free tickets to a Borgata show. Players can qualify for the random drawing by logging into Borgata’s online casino, navigating to the “Promotions” tab and opting in.

BorgataCasino.com – Cashiering

The Borgata’s online casino features one of the most diversified cashier’s 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 Live Chat (24/7), email and phone.

Of the three support options available, Live Chat proves to be the easiest means of reaching an agent. It’s also the most infuriating.

Between the long wait times between responses, generally lukewarm reception, and wrong answers, it becomes evident that the team is in need of at least one more round of training.

On the flip side, 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.

Background on Borgata online casino

Borgata marketed early

Borgata and its partner partypoker came out firing when New Jersey’s online gambling industry launched in late November of 2013. One of the first announcements made by any of the state’s new iGaming sites was Borgata/Party announcing they would host a $50k guaranteed online poker tournament every Sunday.

This was a pretty bold move considering Ultimate Poker was offering a $20k Guarantee, the big tournament at 888 boasted a $10k guaranteed, and WSOP.com a $25k Guarantee.

Borgata and partypoker were also among the biggest spenders when it came to internet, TV, and other advertising.

On the innovation side, Borgata/party did a massive million-dollar cross promotion called New Jersey’s Next Poker Millionaire, a combination online and live tournament with a first place prize-package valued at over $1 million.

Another big accomplishment the company can take credit for was a multi-year deal between its iGaming partner partypoker, and the Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils, and the Prudential Center.

While common in Europe, this was the first partnership between an online gaming site and U.S. sports teams.

Borgata leveraged its land-based brand

It’s no longer a Trump property or Tropicana that comes to mind when people bring up Atlantic City casinos, it’s the Borgata. Right now Borgata is the king of Atlantic City, and the brand’s trust and recognition is certainly one of the biggest factors in Borgata’s online success.

Furthermore, with so many people going in and out of the casino on a daily basis, Borgata’s on-site advertising and cross promotions are capable of reaching far more people than any other casino in AC.

An early adopter of alternative payment processing options

Borgata was the first online gaming site in New Jersey to add Neteller to its list of payment processing options.

Party and Borgata were also among the first (along with Tropicana and its sister site VirginCasino.com) to offer Skrill as a deposit option, which the site began doing in late November of 2013.

Having these “backup” options when players found their credit card transactions denied by their bank likely contributed to helping Borgata and partypoker rise to the top of the heap.

Still room for improvement

Despite its successes, it’s unlikely Borgata’s online gaming product has reached its peak.

Unfortunately, Borgata hasn’t been able to avoid the software issues that have plagued virtually every operator in New Jersey, and the mobile app is still a work in progress, giving the company plenty of room to increase revenues.

They could also be lifted – along with all NJ operators – if credit card payment processing improves.

Borgata updates July 26th, 2017

The Borgata Hotel and Casino played a part in this year’s WSOP. Main event winner Scott Blumstein (a NJ native) took home $8.15 million in this year’s tournament. But before that he could be seen in Borgata’s poker room. (In fact, he won the No-Limit Hold’em Deepstack Kickoff event at the 2016 Borgata Summer Open.) Big congrats to Scott!

Over at Borgata Poker they are offering players $10 in cash with a $10 bonus that must be cleared before releasing. You might also want to enter to play in their $10,000 Daily Tournament. The buy-in is $109 and there is a $10,000 guarantee.

Over on the casino side, Borgata has some tasty offerings. You might want to snack on Going Nuts, Melon Madness or Candy Store, if slots are your preferred game of choice.
