Creating A PointsBet Account

No matter where you are in the U.S. you’re only a couple of clicks and a few strokes of the keyboard from having a PointsBet account. To start, use any of the links we’ve provided on this page to visit the PointsBet homepage.

Next, click the ‘Sign Up Now’ button to get started. You’ll be asked to choose the state that you’re going to be betting in.

The following pages will require that you provide some personal details like your name, address, phone, and the last 4 digits of your Social Security Number.

Requirements to Bet

Generally speaking, PointsBet welcomes all new bettors who can satisfy the two principal limiting qualifications of online wagering in the U.S.:

• Age limit: 21+
• Location: You must physically be located in a state where PointsBet is licensed to offer online sports betting.

If you’re not old enough, or you aren’t inside of a state that has legalized online sports betting, then you’re out of luck – you can’t bet on sports. Otherwise, it’s time to sign up!

Location Settings

So how does PointsBet know where you are? The site employs sophisticated geolocation services to pinpoint your exact location. If you’re betting from your phone or tablet, communicating your position can be as easy as flipping the ‘Location Services’ button on. Once you’ve OK’d it, the PointsBet mobile app can connect right to your phone’s GPS chip and relay that information to the site.

It’s only a little more complicated for those trying to wager from a computer. Prospective bettors will be required to download and install a geolocation plugin that can use a stable WiFi signal to place you. The plugin download will be pulled up for you automatically while navigating the site, and if you don’t have it on, you won’t be able to place a bet.

PointsBet: Available States

While it didn’t debut in the States until 2019, PointsBet has been busy. Following its January launch in New Jersey, it rounded out its first year in the market by opening for both online and retail betting in Iowa. In the time since it has expanded its operation to even more states with access to legal wagering, with no signs of a slowdown.

PointsBet is active, or has already established a licensing partner in all of the following states:

When evaluating the state-specific sports betting scenes across the U.S. you’ll find plenty of similarities. However, since each market is regulated separately, it’s the niche differences that stand out. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights from the areas where PointsBet operates:

Pennsylvania

• Casino Partner: PENN Entertainment
• Fanatics Sportsbook is taking over the operations of PointsBet in Pennsylvania, but the timing of the official changeover is unclear.
• Right now PointsBet is still available in PA
• In Pennsylvania, online gambling winnings are subject to taxation at a rate of 24 per cent.

New Jersey

• Casino Partner: Meadowlands Racetrack
• PointsBet operates as a skin on the Meadowlands’ sports betting license in New Jersey. FanDuel is the official sportsbook sponsor on-premise at the Meadowlands, thus in-person deposits aren’t permitted.
  • In-Person withdrawals are permitted, however.
• In New Jersey, you can’t bet on any in-state college teams – period.
• Along the same lines, sportsbooks are prohibited from accepting action on any in-state college competitions. If the host site for a college sports event is in New Jersey, you can’t bet on it.

Iowa

• Casino Partner: Catfish Bend Casino
• Prop bets on college sports are off the table in Iowa.
  • This expands to include any individual sport with persons under the age of 18.
• Iowa first launched with in-person registration only, but have since lifted that restriction as of January 1, 2021.
• Registration is now available via your computer or mobile device.

Indiana

• Casino Partner: Hollywood Casino Lawrenceburg
• Indiana has no major betting restrictions.
• Generally, low taxes and fees, plus the ability for each casino to host numerous skins has created a crowded, competitive market.

Illinois

• Casino Partner: Hawthorne Race Course
• To bet in Illinois, on-premises, in-person registration is required at Hawthorne Race Course.
• PointsBet operates a retail experience on-premise at the race course.
• Similar to New Jersey, Illinois also restricts betting on in-state college teams.

Colorado (Now Fanatics Sportsbook)

• Casino Partner: Double Eagle Hotel & Casino
• Colorado‘s legislators have paved the way for a virtual cornucopia of markets and bet types. The state’s laws are amongst the most favorable we’ve seen and have made for some interesting wagers.
• PointsBet is no longer available in CO

Maryland

• Casino Partner: Riverboat-on-the-Potomac
• PointsBet launched in Maryland on November 23, 2022, the first day it was allowed to do so. The operator will also have a retail sportsbook at the Casino
• Riverboat-on-the-Potomac is located on the Potomac River, but its physical address is Colonial Beach, Virginia. In an unusual quirk, the entire Potomac River, up to the Virginia shore, is actually in Maryland. Therefore, the Riverboat is technically in Maryland because it is in the water of the Potomac River and not on land.

Michigan

• Casino Partner: Northern Waters Casino
• A PointsBet retail sportsbook is expected on-site at Northern Waters.
• Smaller tax rates, low operator fees, and room for plenty of licenses have created a healthy, competitive market in Michigan.
• PB launched alongside the state’s first legal online sportsbooks in January 2021.

West Virginia (Now Fanatics Sportsbook)

• PointsBet is now Fanatics Sportsbook. Fanatics owns PointsBet and is slowly replacing it with its own Fanatics-branded sportsbook.
• PointsBet is no longer available in WV
• There are no restrictions on sports wagering in West Virginia.

Virginia (Now Fanatics Sportsbook)

• License Partner: Colonial Downs
• PointsBet arrived in the Old Dominion on December 15, 2021, through a deal with Colonial Downs. A nice, smaller race track right off I-64 between Richmond and Virginia Beach, Colonial Downs will serve as the brand’s VA hub, though retail betting is not yet available.
• PointsBet is no longer available in VA
• Virginia is relatively allows wagering on most markets and bet types, including college sports.

New York

• The only major wagering restriction in NY is a prohibition on wagering on NY-based college teams or college games taking place in the state, with the exception of “tournament” games

Kansas

• License Partner: Kansas Crossing Casino
• PointsBet launched in Kansas on September 1, 2022, the first day it was authorized to do so. It partnered with Kansas Crossing Casino, one of just four casinos in the state.
• No word yet on whether the partnership includes a retail sportsbook or is online only.

Ohio (No Longer Available)

• License Partner: Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course
• PointsBet was one of the many sportsbooks to launch in Ohio on opening day, January 1, 2023. However, it has since ceased operations and is no longer available in the state.

PointsBet Sportsbook – Looking Ahead

PointsBet online sportsbook has been one of the more active sportsbook operators in the United States, so it’s a safe bet to assume that where legislation goes, PointsBet will follow. Here are a few states that we expect PointsBet to come to within the next year or two

• Louisiana – PointsBet recently signed beloved ex-New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees as a brand ambassador, potentially signaling its intention to enter the Louisiana market when sports betting goes live there in early 2022.
• Tennessee – The Volunteer State has legalized online-only sports betting. It would be a surprise if PointsBet didn’t have plans for Tennessee, which began launching sportsbooks in November 2020.

PointsBet Sportsbook in Ontario Canada

Single-game wagering is already legal in Ontario, and the marketplace will open to licensed sportsbooks on April 7, 2022. PointsBet is ready to go, having already secured its license from provincial regulators. PointsBet will be live in Ontario on April 7 and is expected to operate in other provinces across Canada as soon as they finalize their own particular sports betting rules. Under federal legislation passed in Summer 2021, each province is able to legalize and regulate sports betting as they see fit. Ontario took the lead and already has added single-game wagering to its government-run Proline+ sports betting app.

Mobile Apps vs. Web Browser

It’s possible to place a wager through PointsBet using all of the major online sports betting tech platforms.

PointsBet Mobile App

PointsBet offers an excellent mobile experience for both iOS and Android users. A search for ‘PointsBet’ within your chosen app store will provide the results you’re looking for.

Unlike many online sportsbooks that have a separate app for each state, there is only one PointsBet app. Once you’ve downloaded it, scroll to the bottom of the app’s homepage and choose your state.

The app itself has a clean layout, is easy to use, and allows users to take advantage of all vital account functions without ever having to visit the website. Register, deposit, place bets, cash out – all from your phone.

Browser

Betting on a computer through a web browser will offer a similar, but more spacious experience. You can visit the PointsBet website using any functional browser, log in, and get right to it.

Featured and upcoming bets are easily accessible, but the site really revolves around the collapsable menu that you can grab in the top left corner. It lays out in-play options, promos, and also provides a list of all available sports markets from A-Z. New and experienced users alike will have no trouble navigating the PointsBet site.

Sports Offered on PointsBet Online Sportsbook

PointsBet offers all of the major sports betting markets. This includes:

• Baseball
• Basketball
• Football
• NCAA (Basketball, Football)
• Golf
• Hockey
• MMA
• Motorsports
• Soccer
• Tennis
• Rugby union
• Aussie rules

Notably, betting options may vary based on state due to differences in legislation. Consult the “PointsBet Available States” area above for a more detailed breakdown of what may, or may not be available in your state of interest.

Potential Bets

PointsBet excels in the variety of bets that it accepts. Traditional classics include:

• Spreads
• Totals
• Moneyline
• Live (in-game) Betting
• Parlays
• Props

But that’s not the whole of it. PointsBet is known for their innovative PointsBetting wagers that are exclusive to its platform.

PointsBetting

While it may seem scary and complicated at first, PointsBetting at its core is just a spread wager on steroids. PointsBetting takes a traditional bet like a spread, total, or prop, and adds an exciting twist where the potential winnings (or losses) aren’t fixed, but vary by the in-game results. The more correct you are in your betting predictions, the more you win… or lose. The chosen stake is multiplied by how close to the final outcome your bet is.

For Example…

The Giants are a 3-point favorite over the Eagles in their upcoming NFL game. You decide to place a $10 PointsBetting wager on them to cover. The game plays out and the Giants win by 10 points, which is 7 more than the spread. With PointsBetting your wager is multiplied by every point greater than, or less than the agreed spread. Thus, $10 x 7 points = a $70 win.

It can go the other way, though. Using the same example, if the Giants lost the game (as a 3-point favorite) by 10 points, you’d be on the hook for the 3 points they were favored by, plus the 10 they lost by for a total of 13 units. $10 x 13 = -$130 loss. High risk, high reward.

The multiplier is set differently depending on the sport, since a 10 pt win is a lot easier in sports like basketball than in soccer or hockey. There is also a set cap for how much a player can win or lose depending on the betting market.

Make no mistake about it, PointsBetting can be a wild ride, so proceed with caution. You can also set your own multiplier caps or stop losses. So if a bettor chooses to set the cap at 5x, the most they can win or lose on a $1 bet is $5 no matter what the final score is.

PointsBet Promotions

When it comes to promotions, PointsBet is widely considered a market leader. Be sure to regularly check the ‘Promos’ section of the sportsbook to see what’s currently available. Recent promos have included:

• Brady Booster: If Tom Brady throws for one (1) or more yards in Week 1 against the Cowboys, bettors will double their money, up to $10.
• Make it Rain: For every TD scored on select NFL spread bets of $50+, you get $6 in bonus bets.
• Let it Fly: Place a moneyline bet of $50 or more on any MLB playoff game and get a $10 bonus for every home run that your team hits.
• First TD Early Payout: If your moneyline bet scores the first touchdown in any Monday night or Thursday night NFL game, get paid instantly on your first $100 bet.
• -105 Spreads on all NFL games: All NFL spread bets are -105, the best you will see anywhere.
• NHL/EPL Early Payout: If your moneyline bet for any NHL or EPL team leads by 2 goals at any point in the game, get instantly paid out on your first $50 staked.
• Booster Odds: Daily boosted odds on select games.
• Name a Bet: If there is a betting market that you don’t see on PointsBet, tweet @PointsBetUSA and they will price it for you!

…and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. PointsBet is always coming up with new ways to keep things interesting.

PointsBet Banking Methods

Deposit and withdrawal options will differ based on the state that you’re banking in. While having a unique overall cashier, each state will rely on similar methods. Generally speaking you can expect older markets, like New Jersey for example, to have a rather robust lineup of choices. PointsBet’s offerings in newer states are more likely to start small and build up over time.

Deposit Methods

• Online Banking: Set up online bill pay with your bank. Select your bank from a list of available banks and instantly deposit using the online bill pay feature.
• PayPal: Everyone’s favorite eWallet can be used for easy transactions.
• PointsBet Play+ Card: Personalized prepaid card that can be funded by your Visa, Mastercard or ACH. The card will be instantly accessible to use and the actual, physical card will arrive by mail in 1-3 weeks.
• ACH/eCheck: Securely links your bank account for easy instant deposits.
• Credit/Debit: Use your Visa or MasterCard to fund your account instantly.
• PayNearMe: Choose PayNearMe and the site will generate a barcode for you. Bring the barcode to participating 7-11, hand over the cash at the register, and your account will be instantly funded!

Withdrawal Methods

• ACH/eCheck: Securely transfer funds to your bank account in 3-5 business days after the transaction has been approved by PointsBet.
• PointsBet Play+ Card: Easily and instantly withdraw funds to your card. Access your winnings at any ATM or use the card anywhere that Discover is accepted.
• Online Banking: Simple and safe withdrawal method that doesn’t require credit card or ACH details.

PointsBet Loyalty Rewards

PointsBet offers a relatively simple rewards program. Every $5 wagered on fixed odds bets will receive 1 Reward Point. Thus, a $50 wager would earn the bettor 10 RP.

When wagering on parlays, since the odds of success are longer, bettors receive more compensation. $1 in parlays = 1 RP. A $50 parlay would yield 50 RP.

There’s a pretty simple 100-1 conversion of Rewards Points to Bonus Bets. Each rewards point is worth one cent. The smallest amount that you can redeem is 250 points for $2.50 in Bonus Bets. If you extrapolate that out, if you were to wager $1,000 in the sportsbook (fixed odds) you would earn 200 Rewards Points, which has about $2 in value. By contrast, if you wagered $1,000 on parlay bets you would receive 1,000 RP, which holds about $10 in value.

It’s not much, but there are fine margins between success and failure in the world of sports betting and everything makes a difference.

Support

Pretty standard fare with regard to customer support. PointsBet relies on email and live chat to answer questions. You can find links to both methods at the bottom of the sportsbook homepage, in the footer.

You can email service@pointsbet.com directly with any questions and they’ll get back to you in a timely fashion. Similarly, clicking the ‘Live Chat’ button will automatically launch a chat window that allows you to interact directly with a support representative.

Generally speaking, we’d categorize PointsBet Support as being both knowledgable, and fast.
