PointsBet Sportsbook Review 2024

PointsBet has got a great welcome offer for all new customers. This deal will give you a second chance on your first sports bet. So if your first qualifying bet loses, PointsBet will refund your stake in promo credit by 100% up to $500. Easy!

Let’s take a closer look at how you can get this deal. First of all, you will have to sign up to PointsBet for the first-ever time. Then it’s a matter of entering in the right promo code and then making a deposit. From here, you just have to put down a fixed-odds bet each day for the next five days. If any of these bets don’t win, you’ll get your stake refunded in promo credit by 100% up to $100.

It’s a great little deal because your qualifying bets can be from as little as $0.50 at a time and there aren’t any minimum qualifying odds on either your qualifying bets or your bonus bet tokens. Just remember that your bonus bets have to be used within seven days otherwise they’ll be removed from your account.

PointsBet has put together a stylish online sportsbook that revels in a sleek red and black color scheme. It’s definitely one of the more attractive sports betting platforms and thankfully it’s not just about style over substance.

You’ll find it easy to do everything from signing up to depositing and putting down your first bet. There are handy tabs you can use for finding your preferred bets, and the sidebar contains all of the information you need about contacting customer support, and accessing all of the important legal information.

Just so you know, there’s also an excellent PointsBet app that you can download to your iOS or Android device. This features pretty much everything that you’d find on the PointsBet website, just that it’s made more convenient for playing from the small screen.

We found that PointsBet features the full range of trusted payment providers. This means that you can make deposits with the likes of Visa, Mastercard, PayPal or even try an ACH bank transfer. All of our payments went through instantly and weren’t hit with any processing fees.

The same applied to making withdrawals although PayPal withdrawals tended to be faster than the other withdrawal methods. Still, even if you made a withdrawal from PointsBet with a bank transfer it should rarely take more than a handful of working days to reach your account. One of our favorite things here is that you can often make deposits and withdrawals from just $5 at a time which is a much lower threshold compared to most other online sportsbooks.

So if you have just signed up to PointsBet, ‘How to bet?’ is probably going to be one of your first questions. We found it quick and easy to get in touch with the PointsBet customer care team. You could send a message via live chat, although there was also a dedicated email address. While it doesn’t look like there is any kind of telephone support at PointsBet, we felt that the above customer support options should be enough for most people.

We should note that there’s also a useful FAQ section where you can get answers to common questions about setting up an account, making deposits and so on. In fact the only thing missing here was some kind of social media customer support, but we guess that you can’t have everything.

PointsBet actually has its origins over in Australia, but it has already made a decent start on becoming a fully licensed sportsbook here in the US. So the good news is that PointsBet is fully licensed and regulated in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Virginia. Such regulation essentially means that you’ll be given a fair and safe way to bet on sport and will be virtually guaranteed to get paid whatever you win.

Plus the betting site features SSL-level encryption to keep your money and personal information safe. Elsewhere you’ll see a privacy policy that explains how PointsBet will handle your data, the house rules that explains how PointsBet operates, and even some Player Protection tools you can use to keep your bets in check. All you need for a safe and responsible betting service.

We found an amazing reward program at PointsBet. This gives you loyalty points for each bet you put down. Then you can just trade in these loyalty points for bonus bet credit. Easy!

The great news is that you are automatically enrolled on the reward program as soon as you sign up to PointsBet. From here, different bets will contribute different amounts towards how many points you earn. So for a $5 fixed odds bet, you’ll earn one point, whereas a $1 parlay bet will also earn you one reward point. Once you’ve got 250 points, you can then trade them in for $2.50 in bonus bet credit. All of which should encourage you to stick around at PointsBet!
