Hard Rock Hotel Casino, permit NJIGP 26-010 in New Jersey

One row, three facts

On the Division's PDF the entry for Hard Rock sits in the sixth position of nine. It gives a permit number, NJIGP 26-010, a legal entity, Hard Rock Boardwalk 1000, LLC, and a trade name introduced by "d/b/a", Hard Rock Hotel Casino. Those three facts are the full public content of the row. The box above this text repeats them in a fixed layout, along with the date we read the file, November 11, 2026.

The row lists no website. No app name, no sportsbook name and no parent group appear on it either. The register therefore leaves the website line of the box empty and does not fill it from a guess.

A permit belongs to a casino licensee

Internet gaming in New Jersey is tied to the state's casino licensees. A Division order from 2024, written about a different holder, gives the regulator's own description: a casino licensee keeps an internet gaming permit, the Division issues certificates that evidence it, and a separate company may provide the websites through a market access agreement. For Hard Rock, the list does not say whether any such contract exists. What it does show is the entity named as holder, and that is the name to look for in any dispute or question about the permit.

The hotel name in the trade name has a practical effect. The company that runs a consumer website is not always the company that holds the permit, and a permit row written around a hotel will not look like the brand on a phone screen.

What the App Store shows next to it

The U.S. App Store listing for the Hard Rock Bet app, which we read on November 11, 2026, names Seminole Hard Rock Digital, LLC as seller. That is the publisher of the app. It is a different name from the permit holder, and the list does not connect them. Without a regulator document that ties the two together, they are two separate names on the record.

Matching a site to this permit, step by step

1. Open the Division's PDF at the nj.gov address in the sources box.
2. Read the "Last Update" line. On our read it said September 22, 2026.
3. Locate NJIGP 26-010 and copy the holder name exactly.
4. Compare it with the legal entity in the footer, terms or license notice of the site or app you are checking.
5. Where the footer names a different company, ask the site which permit holder it operates under, and look for that holder's row.
6. Repeat the check from time to time. The Division replaces the file when it updates, and permits can be added or removed between versions.

Limits of a permit entry

A permit entry is not a statement about the quality of a product. It does not describe game fairness, withdrawal times or support. Those subjects sit under the Division's rules, summarized on the New Jersey regulator page, and the state's wider rules for residents are in the New Jersey online casino overview.
