Poker 8 and Jackpot City Online Casino Debut in New Jersey

Highlights

  • Poker 8 went live in New Jersey right before the WSOP kicked off in Vegas.
  • The new brand is said to be a generational upgrade in technology.
  • Jackpot.com now offers premium online lottery ticket sales in NJ.

The NJ online gaming landscape is a bit bigger as of late, with two brands now offering services in the Garden State. Poker 8 and Jackpot.com have both launched operations, giving players access to quality poker gaming and online lottery ticket sales in New Jersey. Poker 8 comes from the former 888 Poker brand, while Jackpot.com is its own entity, operating in several states across the US.

New Poker Site Launches

888poker is set to leave the NJ poker market along with 888 Casino on June 17, and the Garden State is now making way for a new brand. The shutdown of the brands was announced a few weeks ago, and the 888 company has now emerged as Evoke, a new and revolutionized gaming brand. Poker 8 is a generational upgrade for evoke as a new solution for gaming technology. 

The platform includes a new Player Account Management system and Integrated Customer Relationship Management functions. An iGaming component allows Evoke partners to integrate more than 175 casino games into their portfolios. With Poker 8, the player pool features shared liquidity. Players from other states are online at the same time to feature larger player pools for cash games or tournament options. 

Poker 8 has been operating in Michigan for several years now, and the launch in New Jersey came a single day before the 55th World Series of Poker began in Las Vegas. The goal is to provide players with a superior experience via gameplay and smoother functionality on laptops, mobile devices, and desktop computers. 

Poker 8 is now operational in Michigan, New Jersey, and Nevada. This allows WSOP.com players to explore Progressive Knockouts, Mystery Bounties, and multiple cash games and tournament tables with ease. The larger network liquidity allows Evoke and Caesars to reach a new milestone with their WSOP Partnership. 

As the WSOP is underway, players in each of the three states can access premium gaming options with the ability to compete in online events and satellites for WSOP land-based options. 

The platform features quicker load times and exceptional functionality when compared to legacy platforms in the poker sector. 

Jackpot.com Launches in New Jersey

For lottery gamers, the new platform Jackpot.com offers a solution for online lottery ticket sales. Players in the Garden State can purchase Mega Millions and Powerball tickets at any time. Games specific to New Jersey are also on offer, including Pick 4 and Pick 3, plus Cash 4 Life. 

Players can receive wins online when the prize is $599 or less. When the prize is over $600, it must be redeemed at a lottery retailer in the state. This option is a convenient way for players to purchase lottery tickets without leaving home. 

Jackpot.com is now operational in six US states, ensuring quick ticket purchases in states like Texas, Ohio, Massachusetts, and New York. The increased accessibility to lottery tickets is one reason the brand is so popular among lottery players. The option to purchase a standard ticket online ensures players can purchase a ticket from anywhere rather than having to visit a local retailer. 

The operator keeps the physical ticket and automatically pays out the lower prize amounts. When a larger prize is won, the winning ticket is delivered to the player so they can visit a local retailer to claim their prize. 

Jackpot.com decided to launch in New Jersey after seeing success in the neighboring state of New York. The brand went live one year after it began offering services in New York. The launch was successful, and the goal was to bring the same accessibility and fun of online lottery games to NJ players.
