What is Ocean Sportsbook?
Ocean Casino Resort is an Atlantic City casino with a Fanatics Sportsbook retail betting location. Day to day, it's not a standalone "Ocean sportsbook" brand - it's a physical sports betting lounge inside the casino.
If you're searching for "Ocean sportsbook" expecting a dedicated app, that doesn't exist. What you'll find is one of the premier sportsbook facilities in Atlantic City.
The Gallery: Bar, Book & Games
The Ocean sportsbook is located within The Gallery, a $5 million, 12,000 square foot gaming and entertainment space.

- 24/7 bar - You can always get a drink
- Self-service terminals - No waiting in line to place bets

What I Don't Like
- No standalone Ocean brand - It's just Fanatics at an Ocean location

- Atlantic City only - Retail location, not useful outside NJ
- Recent partnership - Fanatics just opened Sept 2024, still establishing itself
The Bottom Line
If you came here searching for "Ocean sportsbook" expecting a unique betting platform, there isn't one.
What exists is a high-quality Fanatics Sportsbook retail location inside Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City. From what we've seen, it's one of the best sportsbook facilities on the East Coast - 12,000 square feet, massive LED walls, 24/7 bar service (we had the same reaction).
Visiting Atlantic City and want to bet at Ocean?
- Walk into Ocean Casino Resort on the boardwalk
- Head to The Gallery (you can't miss the 140-foot LED walls)
- Place bets at windows or self-service terminals
- Use the Fanatics mobile app anywhere in the casino
Want to bet online in New Jersey?
- Download the Fanatics Sportsbook app
- You don't need to be at Ocean - it works statewide In practice, Outside New Jersey?
- Fanatics is available in 10+ states for online betting
- The "Ocean" part is irrelevant outside Atlantic City
Ocean Casino Resort has one of the nicest sportsbook facilities in Atlantic City. But it's not a unique sportsbook brand - it's Fanatics with an Ocean Casino address.
