Visit Unibet Casino →Pros
- Owned by Kindred Group plc, a large, well-known publicly-listed operator

Cons
- Permanently closed in New Jersey - no longer available to play
- Part of a full Kindred Group exit from all of North America
Our verdict
Unibet Casino's New Jersey operation has permanently closed. Its owner, Kindred Group plc, announced in November 2023 that it would exit North America entirely, citing a focus on core markets and cost-reduction initiatives expected to save over $50 million. The New Jersey shutdown was phased and well-publicized: progressive jackpot games were removed on 11 March 2024, the ability to make deposits was disabled on 5 April 2024, and players had until 14 May 2024 to withdraw all remaining funds and close their accounts. Kindred had operated in New Jersey under Hard Rock Atlantic City's licence. This is a genuine, confirmed closure - not a rumor or a data-entry error - and we document it directly rather than publish a routine 'how to play' profile for a product that no longer exists. If you are looking for Unibet, note that this specific New Jersey iteration is gone; any current activity would need to be verified against Kindred Group's present market footprint directly.
How we rated it
Trust & licensing (27%)2
Kindred Group plc is a large, well-known publicly-listed operator, and the closure itself was handled through a transparent, well-publicized phased wind-down (jackpots removed, then deposits disabled, then a clear final account-closure deadline) rather than an abrupt disappearance - though the product itself no longer exists for New Jersey players.
Customer support (18%)2
Not applicable for ongoing play given the closure; the wind-down process itself was clearly communicated with advance notice per independent industry coverage.
Casino (36%)1
The New Jersey casino product no longer exists - Kindred Group closed it permanently as part of a full North America exit, with the final account-closure deadline on 14 May 2024.
Bonuses & value (18%)1
