It’s the end of the road for the 888Sport brand in New Jersey, but the company could be back in the state under a new banner — the once-renowned Sports Illustrated brand — in the coming months.

On Wednesday, subscribers to the app in the Garden State, upon visiting, found a screen that read: “888Sport New Jersey is no longer accepting or offering any sports betting opportunities, as of December 15. Any customer with a remaining balance will still be able to log into their account and either withdraw any funds they might have, or use those funds at 888poker and 888casino.

“If you have any open bets on your account which have not yet been settled, we will honor those bets once the event has been completed.”
