PointsBet Sportsbook Review 2020

PointsBet has a great website design that adds simplicity to the complex art of sports betting. There is more to what you first see with PointsBet. The sportsbook does a good job with packing the site full of content without putting forth an overbearing design.

And there is plenty of content available. The site is loaded with different features that lends variety to the way you play. The main layout of the online sportsbook is easy to navigate, with all of the different sections located in the left tab. 

The different sections will also include betting features like ‘booster odds’ and quick parlays. Booster odds is a PointsBet feature that will take relevant markets and feature them for having higher odds than they were previously listed for. 

The 'Quick Parlay' is another PointsBet feature which allows you to quickly skim through the main markets for different games in each sport in order to quickly put together a parlay. The site pulls odds from all sports and leagues giving you a wide variety without having to spend a lot of time searching. 

Beyond the normal sports betting sections, PointsBet also has a blog section with different articles, podcasts and updates for everything surrounding sports. With everything packed into this section it is hard to ever miss any news, and also easy to hone your skills while passing the time. 

Before beginning to place wagers on PointsBet and enjoy the unique sports betting available, you will need to create and register an account. It only takes a few steps to get started and the process generally does not take that long. 

1. Go to the PointsBet website for your state

2. Click on the red ‘Sign Up’ button in the top right corner

3. Complete the registration with accurate information

4. Wait for confirmation from PointsBet that your account has been created

5. Make a deposit and begin betting

The registration process on PointsBet follows two sections and it is mainly straightforward. You will need to include general information about yourself and also accept some terms and conditions at the end. You will also create an email and password that you will use to log in. 

If there is one available, you need to enter it when registering or else you risk not being able to receive it. You will be notified by email when your account has been approved, after which you are able to log in at any time using your email address and password that you created and begin betting! 

Bonuses and promotions on sportsbooks give players special offerings like cash back, free bets and other extras. Who doesn't love getting extra prizes for free? You can always find the current PointsBet bonuses in the ‘promos’ section. 

There will be a list of everything on offer at the moment, as well as a short description of what each offer entails. All promotions will have requirements and most will have expiration dates, so it is best to always check this section as often as possible. 

Promotions are one of the bright spots on PointsBet. The sportsbook often has plenty of bonuses on offer, and we can safely say there are more than most sportsbooks. Many of the offers with certain leagues or bet types.

Since the number of bonuses offered is quite high, there shouldn't be any problem finding something for your current bets.

• Risk-free bets

• Odds Boosts/ Super Boosts

• Game-specific Bonuses

• Double Winnings

• Trivia Contests 

• Parlay Bonuses

• Cash Back Bonuses

• Rewards Program

The promotions will also vary from unique to common, and from ongoing to one-time. Good news for bettors however is that PointsBet bonuses are often ongoing, meaning you can use them more than once until they expire. 

Welcome bonuses will require you to enter the bonus promo code during registration. However, for other promotions, you will simply have to fulfill the requirements to receive the offer. PointsBet does a great job offering an extensive list of bonuses, and the only problem might be receiving them all!

Depositing into your account will be the first thing that you are prompted towards doing after registration. Withdrawals can be made at any time after making a deposit. PointsBet has limited options towards making transactions, however they are common enough to cover most players.

The payment methods are mostly all online. However, if you are betting in New Jersey you will have a couple of land-based options as well.

This will include the Meadowlands Racetrack where you can deposit or withdraw during business hours. 

You can make all payment transactions by clicking on my account and choosing either deposit or withdrawal. For all first-time withdrawals made on PointsBet, you will be required to provide additional documentation.

Utilizing the PointsBet Card is likely the best option. The card allows you to make instant deposits and withdrawals on PointsBet with no added fees.

There are mobile apps for both Apple and Android devices available for PointsBet. You can download the Android app directly off of the PointsBet website, whereas the IOS version of the app can be downloaded in the Apple store. 

Both versions of the app are free to download and use. Mobile betting apps give players the opportunity to bet anywhere in legal states without having to leave the house. 

PointsBet Betting App Pros

• Layout and design perfectly complement mobile devices

• Betting features from the desktop version remain the same

• Long list and selection of rewards and promotions

• App runs incredible smoothly, and is quick whilst navigating 

Betting App Improvements Needed

• Would still like to see live streaming be added to the sportsbook

• Number of betting markets can be a little low for the less popular competitions

As much as the simplicity of the desktop version can make the sportsbook look a little bare, it also perfectly fills out the mobile app.

The app is easy to use and all different sections easy to find. The promotions and other features also remain the same on the app, giving you the entire PointsBet experience.

The positives of using the app far outweigh the negatives, which were hard to find. The app runs as smoothly as the top sportsbook apps in the country and is all around a solid choice for any bettor. 

PointsBet has a couple of ways that you can get into contact with them should the need arise. The first way you can contact them is by email, however the live chat will normally be the quickest way. 

PointsBet is also very active on their social media like Twitter, so you may have a good bit of luck reaching them through there.

Reaching out to PointsBet may not always be necessary, due to the amount of information listed on the site. There are multiple sections including help centers, terms and conditions and house rules that you can access at the bottom of the page.

These will have plenty of information and may answer any questions you may have had. If you have a question about the site in general, then these sections are definitely worth a look. 

From our viewpoint, PointsBet is a truly awesome and unique sportsbook especially for bettors who really like to gamble. With the feature ‘pointsbetting’, you will have the opportunity to risk major amounts of money with a chance to win huge all off of one bet.

It is definitely a unique feature, and is sure to draw some big time bettors out of the crowd.

However. PointsBet has plenty of other great features for players who do not want to risk their entire bankroll on one wager.

The long list of promotions and betting options give you plenty of unique ways to profit making normal bets on the site. PointsBet stands out because of its unique, good offerings to all types of players.
