PlayUP review 2026

Is there a welcome bonus for 2026?

Since the PlayUp NJ site isn't yet up and running, we can only speculate on what their bonus offers for the Garden State may be. If their CO site is anything to go by, bettors can expect to get a no-deposit bonus just for joining as the brand is keen to entice people away from the more well-known brands and win them over with their own unique offering.

In addition, PlayUp NJ will no doubt offer a fairly substantial welcome bonus, at least comparable to the CO-facing site, to those making their first deposit.

Beyond the casino welcome offers, you can safely expect PlayUp NJ to give you several opportunities to get more back from your sports betting in the form of bet back offers on popular events, regular reload bonuses and parlay boosts. We expect PlayUp NJ's collection of bonuses to be a competitive crowd-pleaser.

PlayUP no deposit bonus

PlayUp CO currently offers new members a no-deposit bonus of $20 as a free bet, and we expect there will be a similar, if not the same, offer for NJ residents when the new site launches. What's particularly great about this offer is you get to keep any winnings, minus the value of the free bet, of course. This will be a good incentive for people to join the new site and give it a go without any risk.

VIP member bonus

PlayUp NJ isn't expected to offer any kind of VIP or loyalty programme at present, judging by their CO site, though that may change. It would certainly serve as a good incentive to draw bettors away from the big-name brands if they did come up with some sort of rewards programme.

PlayUp Casino on mobile

As the offering currently stands on the PlayUp CO site, members have two options to choose from when it comes to mobile sports betting: the website or the iOS or Android app, and we expect the NJ site will be the same.

When it launches, you should be able to access the new site directly from your mobile device's web browser and place bets from there, but we expect you'll also have the option to download the PlayUp iOS or Android mobile app for a more streamlined experience.

Bear in mind that whichever option you choose, you'll need to enable location services on your phone in order for the site to ascertain that you're within the state before your bets will be approved, though this tends to be a straightforward affair.

The mobile apps offer the same unique black and green colour scheme that you'll find on the website, which makes viewing the various markets much easier on the eyes. Your options in the app are also largely the same as what you'll find on the site, with access given to in-play and pre-match betting opportunities as well as real-time and post-match stats.

Deposit and withdrawal methods 

The PlayUp NJ site is expected to offer the same payment methods as the CO site and while there aren't too many options to choose from, they do cover the most common:

• VIP Preferred: This allows you to deposit and withdraw via ACH/e-check;

• Play+: Use your credit/debit card or bank account to fund this prepaid card, which you can then use to deposit/withdraw;

• Skrill: Online payment service provider that you can fund with your credit/debit card or bank account before using for deposits and withdrawals.

As is often the case in other US states, deposits in New Jersey may be a little unreliable depending on what card or bank account you use, with some still presenting problems even within the states for which sports betting is completely legal. PlayUp suggests talking to your bank to see if they'll unlock your card or account for use at this completely legitimate site.

PlayUp Casino withdrawal time

PlayUp aims to process withdrawal requests as quickly as possible, and the service on PlayUp NJ is expected to be to this same high standard.

The expected processing times for withdrawals via the different options varies, with VIP Preferred withdrawals taking 3-5 business days, and Play+ and Skrill withdrawals usually arriving within one business day. As with PlayUp CO, you'll need to make sure you have verified your identity before making a withdrawal so you can avoid any possible delays.

Customer support

If the Colorado site is anything to go by, we expect a high level of service from the customer support team for NJ residents too. The brand should offer a detailed FAQ page for answers to the most commonly asked questions, but you'll also have options for getting in touch with the team directly via phone, email and live chat.

Though they don't currently offer support on a 24/7 basis, it's pretty close, with help at hand from 7 am until 9 pm MT in CO. Live chat will probably be the speediest option but whichever method you use to get in touch, the US-based support team will most likely be professional and courteous.

How safe & trustworthy is PlayUp?

PlayUp's operating company, PlayUp Interactive, is expected to successfully obtain a licence from the New Jersey Department of Gaming Enforcement, which will enable it to offer its services to residents of New Jersey.
