Barstool Sportsbook quietly launched in its seventh, and biggest, state yet – New Jersey.

Penn National Gaming‘s sportsbook is the 19th online sportsbook in the Garden State and launched through Freehold Raceway‘s license. Freehold is jointly owned by Penn National and Greenwood Racing.

The sportsbooks can be accessed by both browser and app, but it’s not for everyone just yet. A pop-up says the sportsbook is only available to the first 500 people during its soft launch. A Penn National spokesperson confirmed the launch.

The launch is right on time to capitalize on the start of the NFL season. The NJ online sports betting launch is the third for Barstool Sportsbook this month, joining Colorado and Virginia.
